Creature Made Of Smoke

Creature Made Of Smoke

The Creature Made of Smoke is a simple prompt that generates monsters/creatures which should vary quite a bit with minimal modifications.

The text to image prompt is only 10 words: “Creature Made of Smoke. Dark Sinister Fantasy, Hyperrealism, DSLR, VFX”

We can break this down into 2 main parts.

What we want: “Creature Made of Smoke. Dark Sinister Fantasy” and how the AI should present it: “Hyperrealism, DSLR, VFX”.

Hyperrealism = very realistic, so not an illustration or abstract watercolor etc…

DSLR = Digital Single-Lens Reflex Camera, which basically means the ‘shot’ was taken with a high quality digital camera.

VFX = Visual Effects, so special effects you wouldn’t see in the real world.

The result is a monstrous creature that looks real, like a real photograph.

Below are the results of the same prompt with changing the word “Smoke” to Fire, Lava, Blood, Electricity, Light, Magic, Radiation, Hate and Deception.

The AI image prompts above are all for things we can see: Smoke, Fire, Lava, Blood, Electricity, Light. You’ll note they tend to produce distinct images.

The text to image prompts below are for things we can’t see: Radiation, Magic, Hate, Deception. Note how the images created are similar.

We probably could’ve included Light in this prompt list as well, the creature made of light looks similar to Magic, Hate and Deception.

If you were an artist, how would you portray an image of Radiation, Magic, Hate or Deception?
