If you have seen the video, you know these are some awesome prompts. But copying and pasting, doesn’t make it yours. As promised, here are the prompts! The bonus? A formula that will help you convert any of these and any prompt really into your very own. Let’s get to the prompts and the formula will follow. I will add prompt styles to this post every week, so don’t miss an update! Here you go:
“A hyper-realistic painting of a modern individual dressed in 16th-century Renaissance attire, standing in a contemporary urban setting. The subject should exhibit a contemplative expression, with intricate details in the fabric and a dramatic interplay of light and shadow reminiscent of Caravaggio’s chiaroscuro technique.”
“A surreal landscape featuring floating islands connected by cascading waterfalls, inhabited by ethereal creatures with translucent wings. The sky should be a gradient of twilight hues, with celestial bodies visible. The overall atmosphere should evoke a dreamlike, otherworldly sensation, with meticulous attention to texture and light reflections.”
“A vibrant abstract composition featuring interlocking geometric shapes and patterns, with a dynamic interplay of colors and textures. The design should convey a sense of movement and emotion, with layers of depth achieved through varying opacities and gradients. The overall effect should be both chaotic and harmonious, inviting prolonged contemplation.”
“A hyper-realistic portrait of a humanoid alien with bioluminescent skin patterns, set against a backdrop of a distant exoplanet landscape. The subject’s eyes should reflect a deep intelligence, with intricate details in facial features and attire that suggest an advanced civilization. The lighting should enhance the otherworldly qualities, with subtle glows emanating from the environment.”
“An intricate fractal pattern resembling a blooming flower, with layers of petals unfolding infinitely. The design should incorporate vibrant colors transitioning smoothly through the spectrum, with a central glow that intensifies towards the core. The background should be a gradient of deep space hues, adding depth and contrast to the fractal structure.”
“An elaborate digital artwork depicting a futuristic cityscape adorned with Baroque architectural elements. The scene should include flying vehicles and neon-lit ornaments, with a color palette blending metallic hues with rich, dark tones.
