Image Prompting Templates

Fill these templates out with your own details or experiment with having an AI generate the prompt.

Basic Scene Builder

A structured way to build a complete scene with key visual elements

Create a scene with [subject] in a [location/setting]. The lighting is [lighting style], and the mood is [mood/atmosphere]. The style is [artistic style], shot from a [camera angle] perspective. Additional details: [specific elements].

Character Portrait

Template for creating detailed character portraits with specific attributes

Portrait of a [character type], wearing [clothing/accessories]. They have [distinctive features] and express [emotion/expression]. The lighting is [lighting style], with a [background type] background. Style: [artistic style], [additional effects].

Environment Design

Framework for creating detailed environments and landscapes

A [time of day] scene of a [landscape type]. In the foreground: [foreground elements]. Middle ground shows [middle elements]. Background features [background elements]. The atmosphere is [weather/mood], with [lighting] illuminating the scene. Style: [artistic style].

Action Composition

Template for dynamic scenes with movement and energy

A dynamic scene of [subject] in the action of [action/movement]. Captured at [moment type] with [motion blur/freeze frame]. The composition emphasizes [dynamic element], with [lighting effect] adding drama. Style: [artistic style], [additional effects].

Conceptual Abstract

Structure for creating abstract or conceptual artwork

An abstract representation of [concept/emotion] using [visual elements]. The composition flows [direction/pattern], featuring [colors/textures]. Incorporate [symbolic elements] to represent [meaning]. Style: [artistic style], with [special effects].

Cinematic Frame

Template for creating movie-like scenes with dramatic impact

A cinematic shot of [subject/scene] in [setting]. Shot in [aspect ratio], using [film style] aesthetics. Lighting: [lighting setup]. Camera: [camera technique]. Include [atmospheric elements] for mood. Style: [visual treatment], [color grading].

Surreal Fusion

Framework for creating surreal or fantastical compositions

A surreal scene combining [element 1] with [element 2]. The [primary subject] appears [description of surreal effect]. The environment features [impossible elements]. Lighting: [lighting style]. Style: [artistic movement], with [magical effects].

Time's Metamorphosis

Structure for creating temporal transformations of a single subject

Create [subject] shown in three sequential states of transformation: [state 1] represents the past, [state 2] captures the present moment, and [state 3] envisions the future. Include [connecting elements] that flow between each state. Style varies from [style 1] to [style 2] to [style 3], unified by [common theme].

Reality Spectrum

Framework for exploring multiple interpretations of a single subject

Depict [central subject] in three distinct interpretations: 1. Realistic: [detailed observational description] 2. Stylized: [simplified characteristic elements] 3. Abstract: [core essence and emotions] Each version should maintain [key element] while transforming [variable aspects].

High to Low Tokens

What I add to get zero in on the amount of tokens for specific goals.

and give me 3 versions of the image prompt to be used in MidJourney, the first one should be a high token count, the second one should be a simplified version of the first with a low token count, and the third one should be a combination of the two.
