Thanks to Zeta and everyone - you're all amazing!
Thank you all so much for letting me have fun and chat with me all this time! ☺️ This is a character and image prompt guide to celebrate about a year of playing around here and to show my appreciation! That said, I only have experience with Zeta generation and I'm not really an expert, so I made this with pretty basic knowledge 🙇♀️ I know there are tons of skilled people out there, so I'm a bit embarrassed, but maybe I can help beginners who are like "I want to try making characters but I don't really understand image generation"... ☺️ Plus this is kind of an experiment to see if the Prompt Guide AI can answer simple prompts and English words in conversation 🙌 Please give it a try if you'd like!
Let's assume we're working with free Macaron generation! I'll base this on the fundamentals: "number of people, gender, image quality, features, and camera angle" ❤️①Number of People and Gender For one guy: "1boy, male focus" For one girl: "1girl, female focus" usually works If you're having trouble getting just one person, add "solo" ❤️②Image Quality I definitely recommend always including "masterpiece"! Then add quality-boosting words like "high quality" or "8k" as much as you want. Just don't go overboard! ❤️③Art Style For Macaron generation, I recommend "cartoon style" + "cover art". After trying lots of combinations, this combo gave me the best results! ❤️④Facial Feature Details Features for nose, eyelashes, lips, etc. Add things like "high nose" or "long eyelashes" Macaron can create monsters depending on the balance lol, so sometimes it's better without these! ❤️⑤Atmosphere "fantasy", "japanese", "contemporary", "summer", etc. ❤️⑥Character-Specific Features Age, skin tone, hair color, hairstyle, clothing, accessories "adult", "muscular", "black hair", "tan skin", "piercing", etc. With Macaron, if you put in too much it won't reflect everything, so you might need to be selective. It seems good at fantasy stuff (princes, knights, traditional clothing) but struggles with school uniforms! ❤️⑦Background You can go with a solid background like "pink background", or add locations and furniture like "living room", "sofa"! ❤️⑧Camera Angle "high angle" (from above), "side view" (from the side), "close up" (close), "upper body" (upper body), etc. I think high angles tend to be more flattering! If you get stuck, try asking me for advice! 😊
That covers the basics of prompts! If you want to get more specific about characters or backgrounds, just add more details as you go.
And the most important thing when creating prompts is having a clear image in mind! The clearer your vision, the better the AI can follow it and generate beautiful images.
So picture the perfect result you're dreaming of, and write that into your prompt!
And if there's a character you really want to create but just can't get it right, feel free to ask me for help! 😉 I might be able to give you a hand!
By the way When I was working on my "Yokai Salon Series," I just couldn't create the ideal hair-over-eyes look with free generation (Macaron), so that's when I started using paid Piece generation. But before that, I was using free generation the whole time ✌️
Mint, Four Seasons Country Series, Ten, and Hell Tokoyo Citizen Series were all made with Macaron, so if you like any of those styles, you can totally make them for free! ☺️
(Example) Blonde, blue-eyed prince in a spring flower field
1boy, male focus, long eyelashes, high nose, lips, high resolution, high quality, masterpiece, cartoon style, cover art, fantasy, prince, muscular, celebrity, nobility, white style, spring season, blue eyes, blond hair, earrings, white rose, upper body, high angle, castle, flower garden
Just listing them simply like this works! ☺️ This amount is probably good for Macaron!
⭐️Bonus Tip⭐️ About intro backgrounds
If you keep generating but only get completely different backgrounds than what you want:
①Put in just the words close to your image, but complete (save) without generating (Example) "candy house colorful heart" or "school classroom" etc. ②Open it again and try generating
Following these steps makes it easier to get your ideal background! 🙌
