How to Get Great Results
- Step 1
Keep prompts concise
Use 1–2 sentences that define subject, style, and lighting. Save detailed material lists for a second‑phase model.
- Step 2
Iterate fast, then upscale fidelity
Lock composition and mood with Schnell, then move to Flux.Pro/Juggernaut for high‑detail final images.
- Step 3
Use img2img for restyle
When you get a composition you like, send it through img2img to nudge palette, lighting, or texture while preserving layout.
- Step 4
Avoid overloading
Long adjective chains can create mushy detail at low steps. Prioritize camera, light, and a few key attributes.
Example Prompts
Thumbnail concept, ranger silhouette on a cliff at sunset, bold orange‑teal palette, wide shot, clean graphic read
Quick character draft, dwarven blacksmith in leather apron, workshop bokeh lights, medium shot, natural color grade

Prop idea, ornate brass compass on aged parchment, soft sweep light, minimal scene, crisp outline
