Meet Dak认识达克

Say hello to Dak, the duck in the teal bucket hat来认识达克,戴湖绿色渔夫帽的小白鸭

Dak Duck (达克 in Chinese) is a plump white cartoon duck with a teal bucket hat and a small crossbody bag. We are building him into an AI learning companion for kindergartens (an early prototype, not on sale), and he is also on every Dak Duck printable.

达克(英文名 Dak Duck)是一只圆滚滚的白色卡通鸭,戴湖绿色渔夫帽,斜挎一个小包。我们正在把他做成为幼儿园设计的 AI 学习伙伴(早期原型,暂未出售);每一份达克学习材料上也都有他。

The pictures of Dak are character artwork, not photos of the toy. Artwork is AI-assisted and finished by hand.

达克的图片是角色插画,不是玩偶的照片。插画借助 AI 工具完成,再经人工修整。

What makes Dak, Dak达克为什么是达克

A plump duck, a teal hat and one useless thing in his bag一只胖鸭、一顶湖绿色帽子,包里还有一样没用的东西

Dak is a plump white duck. His teal bucket hat and his little crossbody bag go almost everywhere with him. Even at bedtime in the colouring book, the hat waits for him on the bedpost.

达克是一只胖胖的白鸭。湖绿色渔夫帽和斜挎小包几乎走到哪儿都带着。连涂色书里睡觉的那一页,帽子也挂在床头等他。

Inside the bag there is always exactly one useless thing, and even Dak can't explain why: maybe a durian seed, a spoon with no handle or an old TV remote.

包里永远装着一样没用的东西,连达克自己也说不清为什么:可能是一颗榴莲籽、一把没有柄的汤匙,或者一个旧遥控器。

Happy? "Quack!" Surprised? "Quack!" A tiny bit guilty? Also "Quack!" In Chinese, that's 嘎嘎 (gā gā).

开心的时候说“嘎嘎”,吓一跳的时候说“嘎嘎”,有点心虚的时候……也说“嘎嘎”。

Always with him总是带着

  • Teal bucket hat湖绿色渔夫帽
  • Small teal crossbody bag湖绿色斜挎小包
  • One useless thing in the bag包里一样没用的东西
  • "Quack!" (嘎嘎)口头禅“嘎嘎”

What he loves他喜欢

  • Everyday Malaysian life马来西亚的日常
  • Durian season榴莲季
  • Kaya toast咖椰吐司
  • Cool evenings after the rain雨后凉凉的傍晚

On the tracing worksheets, flashcards and posters, Dak comes with Chinese characters and pinyin, plus English and Bahasa Melayu meanings, so a parent who doesn't read Chinese can still join in. The Dak AI companion prototype is designed to chat in Mandarin, English and Malay.

在描红、闪卡和挂图上,达克带着汉字和拼音,还有英文和马来文释义,不懂中文的家长也能一起参与。达克 AI 伙伴原型则设计成能用华语、英语和马来语聊天。

How Dak is made达克是怎么画出来的

Close-up of Dak winking and making a peace sign against a blue sky

Dak's look, the teal bucket hat and the little crossbody bag, is the company founder's own character design.

达克的造型(湖绿色渔夫帽和斜挎小包)是公司创始人自己的角色设计。

The illustrations and colouring line art are generated with AI tools from that character design, then selected, cleaned up and laid out by hand, and every file is checked before it goes into the shop. In short: artwork is AI-assisted and finished by hand. The Etsy listings and the files say so too.

插画和涂色线稿以这个角色设计为基础、用 AI 工具生成,再由人工挑选、清理和排版,每个文件上架前都经人工检查。一句话:插画借助 AI 工具完成,再经人工修整。Etsy 商品页和文件里也都写明了这一点。

  1. Planned构思The founder plans each page and decides what Dak is doing on it.创始人构思每一页,决定达克在这一页做什么。
  2. AI-generated drawingAI 生成画面AI tools generate the drawing, always starting from Dak's own character design.用 AI 工具生成画面,每次都以达克自己的角色设计为基础。
  3. Picked and cleaned up挑选和清理The best drawing is chosen. Colouring pages are cleaned up to pure black-and-white lines.挑出最好的一张。涂色页清理成纯黑白线条。
  4. Finished by hand人手收尾Every file is laid out, checked and finished by hand before it goes into the shop.每个文件都经人手排版、检查和收尾,才放进店里。
