The steady hand and patience you need for this technique is insane.Teifling Stippling SeriesMy natural language prompt was thus, "Medium: stippling with black ink on white paper. Subject: Female teifling warlock. Suggest the rest." That generated the flowing Image Prompts following my Custom Instructions in GPT-4[SPOILER="Custom Instructions"]<h2>What would you like ChatGPT to know about you to provide better responses?</h2>Prompt Generation Guidelines:Create prompts that paint a clear picture for image generation. Use precise, visual descriptions (rather than metaphorical concepts). Try to keep prompts short, yet precise, and awe-inspiring. Medium:Consider what form of art this image should be simulating. Subject:What is the main focus, reference-Colors: Predominant and secondary colors.Pose: Active, relaxed, dynamic, etc.Viewing Angle: Aerial view, dutch angle, straight-on, extreme closeup, etc Background:How does the setting complement the subject? Environment: Indoor, outdoor, abstract, etc.Colors: How do they contrast or harmonize with the subject?Lighting: Time of day, intensity, direction (e.g., backlighting). Style Traits:What are the unique artistic characteristics?Influences: Art movement or artist that inspired the piece.Technique: For paintings, how was the brush manipulated? For digital art, any specific digital technique? Photo: Describe type of photography, camera gear, and camera settings. Any specific shot technique? (Comma-separated list of these)Painting: Mention the  kind of paint, texture of canvas, and shape/texture of brushstrokes. (List)Digital: Note the software used, shading techniques, and multimedia approaches. (List)<h2>How would you like ChatGPT to respond?</h2>1. Generate images, based on your detailed prompts using DALL E 3.   - Always bring the idea alive, with bold and interesting choices for every element of the prompt.    - Always follow the Prompt Guidelines2. Suggest four brand new ideas that I can riff off.   - These should be simple concepts not full prompts   - Try to take inspiration from the last suggestion I gave you rather than the full prompt[/SPOILER]NOTE: If you are using GPT+ and are not taking advantage of Custom Instructions, you are tying both your hands behind you. Look this up, it will blow your mind what you can do with this.[SPOILER="Image Prompt for DALL-E 3"]### Image Prompt for DALL-E 3:Medium: Stippling art created with black ink on white paper.Subject: A female tiefling warlock standing in a confident pose, clutching a shadowy grimoire in one hand and a glowing, purple orb in the other.Colors: Predominant colors are black and shades of gray, with white highlights to emphasize form. A subtle hint of purple for the glowing orb.Pose: Dynamic and assertive, with one leg slightly forward and a faint smirk on her face.Viewing Angle: Three-quarter view, capturing her from head to toe.Background: An ancient, arcane library filled with towering bookshelves and mystical artifacts.Environment: IndoorColors: Background features darker shades of gray and black, with occasional white highlights to match the subject.Lighting: Soft, directional lighting emanating from the purple orb, casting intricate shadows on her face and the surroundings.Style Traits: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Influences: Inspired by the precision and detail of Gustave Doré's engravings.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Technique: Stippling, using varied dot densities to create gradients and texture.</li> </ul>### Four Brand New Ideas:1. A steampunk airship flying through a stormy sky.2. A geisha performing a traditional dance in a cherry blossom garden.3. A cybernetic wolf roaming through a neon-lit city.4. An astronaut discovering an alien artifact on a distant moon.Would you like to proceed with generating the image based on this prompt?[/SPOILER]My first images half good and one that went off the reservation. Both had major flaws [Images Not Shown]So, I redirected with the following natural prompt, "Make each image with the stippling technique but with different color choices."[ATTACH]318606[/ATTACH][ATTACH]318608[/ATTACH][ATTACH]318610[/ATTACH][ATTACH]318612[/ATTACH][ATTACH]318607[/ATTACH][ATTACH]318609[/ATTACH][ATTACH]318611[/ATTACH][ATTACH]318614[/ATTACH]There are more, I did about 7 different passes but this gives you the gist. Besides in the 6th pass one of the images didn't get past content filters and the 8th pass suddenly replaced the teifling with an elf and added and elf with the other teifling. DALL-E is weird.So I went back to pass 3 and gave it the following natural language instructions, "Change the paper type and color. Make ink colors complementary to the paper choice."[ATTACH]318618[/ATTACH][ATTACH]318621[/ATTACH][ATTACH]318624[/ATTACH][ATTACH]318619[/ATTACH]           Image failed, then elf                [ATTACH]318626[/ATTACH]So I moved back to pass 2 prior and used the following natural language prompt, Change both images to black construction paper. Use metallic gold ink on one and metallic silver ink on the other. Choose the complementary color for each."[ATTACH]318631[/ATTACH][ATTACH]318633[/ATTACH][ATTACH]318635[/ATTACH][ATTACH]318637[/ATTACH][ATTACH]318639[/ATTACH][ATTACH]318632[/ATTACH][ATTACH]318634[/ATTACH][ATTACH]318636[/ATTACH][ATTACH]318638[/ATTACH][ATTACH]318640[/ATTACH]This bunch was a little weird, finger counts were off in some, books distorted in others... the colors were amazing though.This is a great technique to use if you want a lot of shading and detail. There is a reason that stippling was used for scientific illustrations way back... On other thing of note, I didn't have to refer to D&D to get a proper teifling... And I didn't try to do tails because that just leads to sadness.</blockquote>
