Who is Seryoga?

That is the question and a story needs to be built around this mascot.

The picture above is all we got + the name. All I could come up with was that the Seryoga is the result of.... and not born from dirt (resurrected from the ashes like a phoenix) but from rubbish.

The result?

Drawing after drawing and changes...

a first step of a struggle or is it a battle?

I had help from Gemini and Canva and wrote the lyrics.
What Suno generated was not what I had in mind (I don't know anything about those weird music genres or are they made-up mixes?).

I tried different AI tools to tell the story, but they sound terrible, like canned voices.

My video





I had to start a youtube channel and scheduled what I have.
There's no sound but I try to figure out how to add some "noise" (although I am totally fine watching videos without ).

If you watch it more than once, you can see what the story is about or just make it up if you can't figure it out.

All I can say now is that I learned a lot but also that if I did it again, the story would be different, which you can already read a bit in the message I left below the short video on youtube.

The Story

Seryoga - song - EN



Not born out of ash,
But trash.
Let me tell you the story of
Seryoga,

It was a shiny day
At the landfill.
Birds flew on and off.

A hamster peeped out of
A paper bag
Surprised.
Where am I?

A garbage truck
Dumped a filthy load:
Bags, glass, plastic, cans...

It glowed in the dark,
Stank, smoked, choked.

The fellow was hit
A fallen star?
Wounded, it sank
To the ground.
Help me, please!

At last, the night arrived.

Half-open eyes
What the hell was tied to him?
Stabbed into his back?

Poof—Bang—Kedeng!
Such a nasty smell.
A world that lost its colour.

Wake up! Echoed through the air.
Muscles strong as iron,
To show off with.

Breath-stopping stench,
Dangerous bangs
Like gunshots.

Screams for help!
What’s in the bottle?

Are you real or a ghost?

Hills of trash,
Groaning with sounds.

Smelly puddles,
Killing, stealing life.

Stop!
Fellows, we must end this misery,
Save our species.

I am big enough
To sabotage those trucks!
Join hands—save our world!

Pffff—Pufff!
Bang—bang—bang!

Little children, look around you.
This is your history.
Remember how it began.
Keep your world clean.

Be as strong and brave
As your ancestors.

If your heart is true,
The dove will bring you the red cap.
Wear it with pride.

The young ones didn’t care
Spoiled as they were.

Now, for years, the red cap
Belongs to the robot hamster:
Seryoga.


Хомяк Серега в Красной кепке

Песня - RU


Не рожденный из пепла,
А из мусора.
Позвольте рассказать вам историю
Серёги.

Был сверкающий день
На свалке.
Птицы сновали туда-сюда.

Хомяк выглянул из
Бумажного пакета –
Ошеломлённый.
Где я?

Мусоровоз
Сбросил грязный груз:
Пакеты, стекло, пластик, банки...

В темноте всё светилось,
Воняло, дымилось, душило.

Зверёк был сбит –
Упавшей звездой?
Раненый, он погрузился
В землю.
Помогите, пожалуйста!

Наконец наступила ночь.

Полузакрытые глаза...
Что за дрянь к нему привязана?
Воткнута в спину?

Пых — Бах — Кеденг!
Какой отвратительный запах.
Мир, потерявший краски.

«Проснись!» — прозвучало в воздухе.
Мышцы крепки, как железо,
Чтобы красоваться ими.

Удушающая вонь,
Опасные взрывы,
Словно выстрелы.

Крики о помощи!
Что в бутылке?

Ты настоящий или призрак?

Горы мусора,
Стонущие от звуков.

Вонючие лужи,
Убивающие, крадущие жизнь.

Стойте!
Друзья, мы должны положить конец этому страданью,
Спасти наш вид.

Я достаточно велик,
Чтобы саботировать эти грузовики!
Объединимся — спасём наш мир!

Пффф — Пуфф!
Бах — бах — бах!

Маленькие дети, оглянитесь вокруг.
Это ваша история.
Помните, как всё началось.
Храните свой мир в чистоте.

Будьте такими же сильными и храбрыми,
Как ваши предки.

Если ваше сердце чисто,
Голубь принесёт вам красную шапку.
Носите её с гордостью.

Молодёжь не заботилась,
Избалованная, как была.

Теперь уже много лет красная шапка
Принадлежит роботу-хомяку:
Серёге.

Thank you so much for your kind comment, dear friend. You made my day!

Wow, my friend, you really worked hard! It was impressive. Even though you didn't have time, you took the time to make the video. I admire you so much, and the story turned out great. I loved it. Thanks, my friend, for giving us a great example of patience and dedication. You're the best.

It was way more work as thought and like said by far not ready. Perhaps if I had two weeks the entire day time. On the other hand it would look differently.

Yesterday, I started colouring the 2 drawings I posted here and next I was disturbed and other duties called.

I can not participate in much, but I do believe this contest deserves some entries. It's a pity not many gave it a try.

Thank you for your kind words. It's appreciated.

I see your effort; I truly understand. We don't have much time because of work, and when we try to do something and get interrupted, it's a little frustrating. But hey, the important thing is that you participated and the video and drawings turned out amazing. Take care, friend.

Thanks for you kind words, it's indeed the most frustrating if we run out of time. It feels as if we can only do it in a hurry.
A great day to you @geantech

Thanks so much, friend. You're great. You're an optimistic person, and that's great. Have a nice day.

You're welcome, you did very well.

Wow! Seryoga will have a name and fame.

Let's see if Seryoga will get famous. Thus far I don't see much response. I asume all artists are hiding in their own world.

Thanks for watching.
