Okay, so I’ve been messing around with image generation lately, and I had this idea: could I create a really cool, regal-looking figure, like something straight out of a Tarot deck? I’ve seen some awesome Tarot art, and I wanted to give it a shot myself.
First, I spent some time just brainstorming. What makes a figure look “regal”? I figured it’s all about the posture, the clothing, and maybe some symbolic objects. I jotted down some keywords like “crown,” “scepter,” “throne,” “flowing robes,” and “intense gaze.”
Diving into the Details
Next, I started playing around with different prompts. My initial attempts were… well, let’s just say they weren’t exactly majestic. I got a lot of weird, distorted images. It took a while to figure out the right combination of words to get what I wanted.
- First tries: “king on throne,” “queen with crown” – way too basic, and the results were pretty generic.
- Getting warmer: “regal figure in ornate robes,” “powerful ruler with scepter” – these started to look a bit better, but still lacked that “wow” factor.
- Finally made progress:”empress tarot card, art nouveau, realistic, cinematic light, 8k” – there still a lot of improvements.
I realized I needed to be more specific. I started adding details about the style I wanted, too. Things like “Art Nouveau” or “fantasy art” helped a lot. I also learned that mentioning specific artists could influence the style, which was pretty cool.
The Final Touches
After many, many attempts, I finally started getting images I liked. It was all about tweaking the prompt, adding details, and sometimes just getting lucky. I found that adding things like “intricate details,” “vibrant colors,” or “dramatic lighting” could really make a difference.
I ended up with a few images that I thought were pretty awesome. They had that regal, almost mystical vibe I was going for. It was a fun experiment, and it definitely taught me a lot about how to craft a good image prompt. You really have to experiment and iterate to get what you want!
