AI Image How-To — #36
Dripping weapons/objects! — secrets revealed!

Do you desire that magical touch to your image? Or perhaps a sense of darkness and foreboding?
You’ll be able to bring those images to a whole new level with this tip!
I have found this portion of prompt to work best when I don’t include water in the prompt as it creates a liquid of its own.
That said, I was quite picky with the sword and spent about a couple of days working for the perfect image.
I wanted the sword to be vertical — most were horizontal. Once I had that, I generated those images until I had a more realistic hilt and handle. After this success, I generated those images until I had the trickle and glowing effect I was aiming for.
But how did I do it??
I wanted a glowing green sword for starters. I joined each of the words with +…if I did not, AI would go above and beyond — flooding the image with green hues — which it attempted on a minor scale. ✔️
I also wanted a green glow on the water. ✔️
To obtain the melting effect of the sword, I used in the style of melting dark themes. This gets placed in the prompt directly after the object you want to have this style. ✔️
Prompt for the image above:
glowing+green+sword in the ground casting a green glow on the water, in the style of melting dark themes, epic detail, HD image, weaponcore

I wanted another magical weapon — thus another glowing weapon.
I put war+hammer in brackets (so as not to confuse AI) and joined glowing with another + as shown in the prompt.
This prompt also too a lot of generations. I had quite a few stubby handles (more like a hammer handle than a long handle for swinging damage.) Many of the images looked more like a thick axe blade than a hammer, as above. Still cool though.
Prompt for the image above:
glowing+[war+hammer] leaning against a tree, in the style of melting dark themes, epic detail, HD image, weaponcore

So, I tweaked the prompt a little bit more (as I often do.)
Now we have an actual war hammer fit for a god.
Prompt for the image above:
glowing+golden+[war+hammer] leaning against a tree, in the style of melting dark themes, epic detail, HD image, weaponcore

This is not what I expected the melting to look like for a flower but still found it stunning enough to include.
Prompt for the image above:
flower in the style of melting dark themes, epic detail, HD image, spotlight, mosscore

I had a lot of trouble generating this image as well. (Maybe I am too specific in the prompts that have given me the most trouble…)
The swords were often smaller, vertical, bent handle… I really liked the details in this image. Again, not the melting effect I had in mind but still awesome.
Prompt for the image above:
[black and blue samurai sword] lying on an alter, in the style of melting dark themes, epic detail, HD image, weaponcore, spotlight

For the finale, we have the sense of darkness and foreboding.
This image was super quick and easy to generate.
It seems the possibilities are endless with this one.
Prompt for the image above:
desk in the style of melting dark themes, epic detail, HD image, spotlight
