Prompts designed for text-to-image AI models to generate specific visual outputs.
Detailed Scene Description
Create rich, detailed prompts for generating complex scenes.
A cozy bookstore cafe at dusk, warm golden lighting spilling from windows onto a rain-slicked cobblestone street. Inside, vintage bookshelves reach the ceiling, a spiral staircase connects two floors, and customers read in worn leather armchairs. Steam rises from coffee cups, and a cat sleeps on a windowsill. Photorealistic style, shallow depth of field, soft lighting.
Pro tip: Include setting, time of day, lighting conditions, specific objects, and desired artistic style.
Character Design
Generate detailed character concepts with specific attributes.
A female elven ranger, mid-30s, with sharp features, piercing green eyes, and intricate silver tattoos flowing across her face. She has braided auburn hair with small leaves woven in, and wears layered leather armor in forest tones with a weathered cloak. She carries an ornate longbow and has a knowing, determined expression. Fantasy illustration style, dramatic lighting, detailed textures.
Pro tip: Describe physical attributes, clothing, expressions, poses, and the artistic style.
Product Visualization
Create prompts for realistic product renderings.
A minimalist smart home speaker with a cylindrical design in matte white ceramic. The device has a subtle light ring at the top that glows soft blue, and fabric texture covering the lower half. Place it on a modern wooden side table in a bright, Scandinavian-style living room. Product photography style with soft, natural lighting, shallow depth of field, and clean background.
Pro tip: Include product details, materials, setting, lighting, and photographic style.
Concept Art
Generate prompts for imaginative concept art of environments or objects.
Concept art of a futuristic floating city built on massive interconnected platforms above a polluted Earth. The architecture blends Art Deco elements with advanced technology, featuring gleaming spires, hanging gardens, and anti-gravity transport systems. Flying vehicles move between levels, and massive energy collectors harvest sunlight. Wide establishing shot, detailed, cinematic lighting, sci-fi illustration style.
Pro tip: Describe the concept in detail, including architectural style, technology, scale, and atmosphere.
Style Transfer
Create prompts that apply specific artistic styles to subjects.
A serene Japanese garden with a red maple tree, stone lanterns, and a small bridge over a koi pond, rendered in the style of Studio Ghibli animation. Use soft watercolor textures, gentle pastel colors, and the characteristic whimsical lighting and atmosphere that defines Ghibli films. Include small details like ripples in the water and leaves floating in the breeze.
Pro tip: Name the specific artistic style and describe its key characteristics (colors, textures, lighting).
Mood and Atmosphere
Create prompts focused on evoking specific emotions through imagery.
A solitary lighthouse on a rocky cliff during a violent storm at night. Massive waves crash against the rocks, and dark storm clouds swirl overhead illuminated by occasional lightning. The lighthouse beam cuts through the darkness and heavy rain. Create a sense of isolation, danger, and resilience. Dramatic, high-contrast lighting, photorealistic style with detailed textures of wet surfaces.
Pro tip: Name the emotion explicitly and include environmental elements that evoke that feeling.
Abstract Concept Visualization
Generate prompts that visualize abstract ideas or emotions.
A surreal visualization of the concept of ‘time passing’ showing a landscape split between seasons, with objects in various states of growth, decay, and transformation. Include clock elements melting or fragmenting, hourglasses, and human figures at different life stages. Use rich symbolism and dreamlike quality with a color palette transitioning from warm to cool tones. Inspired by Salvador Dali and Rob Gonsalves.
Pro tip: Name the abstract concept and suggest symbolic elements, color schemes, and artistic influences.
Composite Imagery
Create prompts that combine multiple elements in unexpected ways.
A half-underwater photography showing both above and below the water line of a tropical coral reef. Above: a small wooden boat, clear blue sky, and distant island. Below: vibrant coral formations, schools of colorful fish, and a sea turtle. The composition should be split horizontally across the middle with perfect clarity both above and below the waterline. Photorealistic style with natural lighting.
Pro tip: Clearly describe how elements should be combined and the composition you want.
Technical Illustration
Generate prompts for detailed technical or scientific visualizations.
A detailed cross-section technical illustration of a modern electric vehicle showing the battery system, electric motors, power electronics, cooling system, and passenger compartment. Label key components with thin lines pointing to each part. Use a clean, precise technical illustration style with a limited color palette on a white background, similar to technical documentation or engineering textbooks.
Pro tip: Specify the technical subject, viewpoint (cutaway, exploded view, etc.), labeling, and illustration style.
Sequential Imagery
Create prompts for images that tell a sequential story.
A four-panel sequential image showing the transformation of an urban lot across seasons: 1) Winter: an abandoned, snow-covered vacant lot with litter and chain-link fence. 2) Spring: people clearing debris and preparing soil for a community garden. 3) Summer: a thriving garden with vegetables, flowers, and people of diverse ages working together. 4) Fall: a community harvest festival with tables of food made from the garden produce. Consistent perspective across all panels, illustrative style with warm lighting.
Pro tip: Clearly number and describe each panel while maintaining consistent elements across the sequence.
