A.I. Prompt Craft - How to Make a Gothic Rose with Ventablack Color Tones - Astra Studios
So you want to make a Gothic Rose?
No problem, I will happily show you the exact prompt I used to create this incredible bleeding rose. But first, let me try and also explain how I was able to use some basic guidelines to create a really cool piece of art. My hopes are that through these tutorials, you will also learn to create incredible works of art by structuring your prompts correctly.
Today, we have a simple one. I am choosing specific prompts in each PromptCraft lesson in order to teach you some fundamental skills. Wax on, wax off if you will.
This is important!
Bookmark this page, save this image, screenshot it, get a tattoo of it on your body (don’t really do that) but do whatever you have to do to memorize this chart. The faster you memorize it the faster you will grow when using MidJourney.
I didn’t make this up, this isn’t sorcery. This is directly from MidJourney’s website on their best method to structure a prompt. Make note that the order is important here, and will have an effect on the final image.
“a beautiful photograph of a beautiful elegant and luxurious rose with big thorns dripping bright red liquid. 8k ultra realistic, sharp, detailed, vantablack shadows. —ar 2:3 —v 4”
It really is that simple. You could even alter this prompt and make it your own by changing the descriptors of the style, the background, or by adding a different subject to the beginning of the prompt. Maybe lilies or sunflowers. The best advice I can give to describing a scene is to work from the subject then every detail in order of how close they are to the subject. For example a flower, details, red liquid, parameters.
Also notice, that we use the term Vantablack to influence the shadows of the image. Vantablack is a brand name for a class of super-black coatings with total hemispherical reflectance’s below 1.5% in the visible spectrum. The coatings were invented by Ben Jensen, who first publicly unveiled them in July 2014. Basically, it’s super black.
