Stable Diffusion Prompt Organizer

Stable Diffusion is a powerful AI model that generates images from text prompts. Crafting effective prompts is key to producing high-quality AI art. This article provides examples of prompts across different categories to showcase techniques for prompt engineering with Stable Diffusion.

Prompt Structure

A basic Stable Diffusion prompt has a few key components:

• Description of the desired image content, style, composition etc.
• Artistic style specifications like “oil painting”, “vector art”, etc.
• Quality modifiers such as “intricate details”, “cinematic lighting”
• Subject keywords like “wizard”, “dragon”, “futuristic city”

Additional elements like filenames, seed numbers, image sizes can also be specified.

Here is an example prompt structure:

A beautiful oil painting portrait of a wizard with a long white beard wearing a purple robe and pointy hat, intricate details, sharp focus, cinematic lighting

Types of Prompts

Portraits

Portrait prompts generate highly detailed and stylistic portraits of people. Some examples:

• A surreal digital portrait of a astronaut floating in space, intricate details, sharp focus, by Greg Rutkowski and Alphonse Mucha
• An oil painting bust portrait of a tribal warrior with face tattoos, by Ilya Repin
• A vector illustration profile portrait of a female rock star playing electric guitar, intricate details, sharp focus

Landscapes

Landscapes prompts create stunning natural and urban scenery images. Some examples:

• A mystical golden forest with sunlight rays beaming through the trees, in the style of J. M. W. Turner, intricate details
• A futuristic neon cityscape with flying vehicles, in the style of Blade Runner movie, CGSociety
• A vibrant coral reef underwater seascape, National Geographic photography, 8k resolution

Concept Art

Concept art prompts render imaginative characters, vehicles and scenes. Some examples:

• A female astronaut in a sleek white spacesuit examining an alien artifact, intricate details, sharp focus, cinematic lighting
• An epic battle scene between two medieval armies fighting with swords and shields, intricate details, sharp focus, dynamic composition
• A detailed steampunk android butler holding a tray of futuristic gadgets and potions, intricate details, sharp focus

Prompt Engineering Techniques

Here are some key techniques for crafting effective Stable Diffusion prompts:

Keyword Selection

• Use distinct keywords like “wizard”, “dragon”, “lightsaber” instead of vague terms
• Leverage synonyms for variety – “sorcerer” instead of “wizard”
• Specify adjectives like “elderly”, “battle-worn” for more context

Style Transfer

• Name specific artists for stylistic imitation like “Greg Rutkowski”, “Alphonse Mucha”
• Use art movement styles like “art deco”, “cubism”, “ukiyo-e”
• Reference cinematic styles like “Matrix code screen”

Quality Control

• Add “intricate details” for fine details
• Use “cinematic lighting” for dramatic lighting
• Specify high resolutions like “8k”

Guiding Composition

• Include composition terms like “profile portrait”, “aerial landscape”, “bird’s eye view cityscape”
• Set mood with emotional keywords like “hopeful”, “ominous”, “serene”

Practice and experimentation is key to learning prompt engineering!
