Hello, all you digital artists! After spending the last year deep inside Midjourney and creating thousands of abstract pieces—yes, my computer is on overtime—I am beyond excited to share my complete playbook for creating abstract art that stops people in their tracks.

I know that feeling when you stare at Midjourney’s prompt box, cursor blinking, wondering how to take that creative vision in your head and make it real. I’ve been there—after probably way too many late nights experimenting and a bit too much coffee, I think I’ve finally cracked the code on how to make this abstract art look amazing and pull in some serious engagement on social media.

Why Abstract Art is Your Secret Weapon in Midjourney

Unlike realistic art, abstract pieces offer us incredible leeway in the conveyance of emotions and ideas, sometimes not quite captured through traditional imagery. There is, in fact, something magical about the composition of a work of art that forces people to stop their scroll and be like, “Wait, what am I looking at?”

Building Blocks: Necessary Structure for a Prompt

Basic Prompt Template Structure:

Abstract work of art: containing [core elements], [technique], [color scheme], [mood/emotion], and [artistic influence] –ar [aspect ratio] –s [stylize] –q [quality]

After you think: ‘Oh, this is an AI. Isn’t that cheating?’ Then you think: ‘OK. I know what I want to give here but I’m such a bad designer. This will probably turn out ugly.’ I was quite skeptical about it myself, but if you try to play around with Leonardo AI for a little bit, you will realize that it is not about replacing the creative part of the work. It is about enhancing your creativity because it’s not so easy to take this idea and create a really nice visual out of it. So, this can be your AI design assistant.

In this guide, we’ll cover the planet of Leonardo AI logo prompts. In this article, you can learn about presets and styles. We’ll cover some tutorials step by step, and I’ll show you my favorite prompts to use that can amaze you. For pro designers, you’ll learn how to speed up your design process. For beginners, you’ll learn how to make your first logo step by step.

So, let’s roll up our sleeves and start creating some logo magic!

The Power of Leonardo AI: A Brief Introduction

Before diving into the details of prompts and presets, let’s pause to reflect on what Leonardo AI has to offer. Leonardo AI uses the power of machine learning algorithms to create images from text descriptions. But here is the big deal: with the right prompt, you can ensure that Leo will produce a logo that is a perfect fit for your brand personality and style.

With Leonardo AI, it’s all about learning presets and writing good prompts. Presets are the styles or filters of artistic interpretation that the AI brings to your prompt. Combine the right preset for the prompt, and you’ll have something you can give to your client (or boss) that makes them think you’ve been up all night for weeks.

In this tutorial, we’ll cover five main presets:

1. Leonardo Phoenix

2. Anime

3. Concept Art

4. Graphic Design (with various sub-styles)

5. Illustrative Albedo (also with multiple sub-styles)

Each provides a different flavor, and I’ll show you how to make the most of them. Here goes, then.

Leonardo Phoenix Preset: Your Gateway to Stunning Logos

The Leonardo Phoenix preset is like the Swiss army knife of logo design. It is versatile, powerful, and has the ability to create some professional-looking results. I like to call it the jack-of-all-trades preset. If you want to learn more about the Phoenix Preset and other presets available in Leonardo AI, check out this article, which covers almost all the presets and models in Leonardo AI with example prompts for each

To use the Phoenix preset, first, navigate to the preset selection box in the Leonardo AI interface in the new Image Generation tool and select Phoenix Preset. Once selected, you’re ready to type your prompt.

Here’s an example prompt I’ve had great success with:

“Design a new, minimalist logo for a technology startup company called Quantum Leap. Use clean, straight lines and a color palette of deep blue and silver, with a stylized ‘Q’ that suggests forward motion or progress.”

And now, the magic! Click the generate button and let Leonardo AI do the rest. I’ve found that the Phoenix preset tends to often come up with clean, corporate-friendly logos.

Pro tip: Play with multiple variations of your prompt. A slight word tweak can make all the difference to results – and often for the better.

Anime Preset: Adding a Touch of Japanese Flair

Third is the Anime preset. Honestly, I groaned the first time I saw it. ‘Anime? Really?’ I thought. But hear me out, because this preset can do some great, different things if you have a brand for a younger audience or in the entertainment business.

Go to the preset menu and select the Anime preset in the Presets menu in the same way how you selected for the Phoenix Preset. And there you have it! You’re now ready to write your anime prompt.

Here’s a prompt I used with Anime Illustration Preset Style that yielded amazing results:

“A trendy anime bubble tea shop logo – design a cute chibi-style character sipping from a large bubble tea cup, color it in pastels (preferably lots of pink and mint green), and add sparkles or stars for some extra cuteness.”

Needless to say, when I first saw the results, I was blown away: The logo conveys the fun, whimsical appeal of a bubble tea shop, with a distinctly anime aesthetic. This is a great example of the potential for truly unique results when you think outside the box with your presets.

Concept Art Preset: Bringing Your Ideas to Life

The Concept Art preset is perhaps the underdog of logo design. It’s all too easy to associate it with painting expansive fantasy landscapes or futuristic cityscapes, and while it can certainly do that, it’s also a great tool for creating rich depth and detail in logos.

The Concept Art preset is available in the Presets section of the preset menu, and you’re free to go wild with your prompt.

Now this request produced a logo that my client raved about. Here’s the input I used using Game Cartoon Preset Style:

“Create a conceptual 2D logo for a futuristic space-themed coffee shop’. Design an abstract coffee cup that looks like a sleek spacecraft, with steam trails forming a galaxy spiral. Use a color palette inspired by nebulas – deep purples, blues, and hints of glowing green. The typography should be futuristic and slightly distorted as if viewed through a space-time distortion.”

The outcome was an image that could easily pass for a hand-drawn logo from an experienced illustrator – the Concept Art preset added the perfect amount of detail and texture to the logo.

Graphic Design Preset: Versatility at Your Fingertips

This is where the meat and potatoes of logo design come in. The Graphic Design preset is a collection of sub-styles, all creating logos in their special way. Let’s break them down one by one:

Graphic Design 2D

This one’s your go-to for flat, clean shapes. Ideal for modern, minimalist logos. I have found that this Preset Leonardo Diffusion XL model produced better logos but I suggest experimenting with different models along with Preset Styles until you get the logo you are looking for.

Prompt suggestion:

Create a 2D logo for a fitness app called ‘FitTrack’. Use basic geometric shapes to create an abstract illustration of a moving human form. Use a color palette of bright orange and cool grey. The logo should look energetic and modern.

Graphic Design 3D

Need some extra oomph for your logos? This is your preset.

Here’s your prompt:

Make a 3D logo for a virtual reality gaming company called ‘Dimension X’, with interlocking cubes or spheres to form an abstract ‘X’, on a gradient of deep purple to electric blue, with a futuristic, slightly sinister feel.

Graphic Design Art Deco

Use this to get you in the mood. Perfect for giving decorations to your art.

Prompt:

Create a logo to advertise a luxury cocktail bar, based on the style of the Art Deco period. Use geometric patterns and symmetrical shapes. Use the colors gold, black, and deep green. Be elegant.

Graphic Design Minimalist

Sometimes, less is more. This preset is perfect for those times.

Try this prompt:

Design a logo for a modern art gallery called ‘Blank Canvas’. Employ negative space creatively to form the letters ‘BC’. Keep it black and white for a stark, modern feel. Keep it simple but thought-provoking.

Graphic Design Pop Art

Looking to make a grab? Pop Art is the way to go.

Try this prompt:

Design a retro diner logo. In the style of Pop Art. Use Pop Art colors – hot pink, electric blue, etc – with bold halftone dots and outlines. Use a stylized hamburger or milkshake, like Pop Art.

Graphic Design Vector

And here’s our prompt for those pristine, scalable logos that look good from thumbnails to billboards:

Design an illustrative vector logo for a tech startup’. Include meandering lines or arrows to symbolize the flow of data. Use shades of blue and green for a tech-friendly palette. The result should be simple, modern, and easily recognizable when scaled down.

Of these, there are so many sub-styles within the Graphic Design preset, so you may need to play around to find the one that best matches the personality of your brand.

Illustrative Albedo Preset: Adding Artistic Flair

Fourthly, there’s the Illustrative Albedo preset. Here we have some interesting stuff. The Illustrative Albedo preset comes with many preset styles and I have tried all the styles and found the below styles work well for a logo.

Minimalist

Try this prompt:

Design an ultra-minimalist logo for an app called ‘Zen Space’. Develop an abstract image of a person meditating from a few basic brush strokes. Keep it on one plane and stick to monochromatic colors, ideally soothing shades of blue. The idea is to create a sense of calm and tranquility in the logo.

Game Concept

Ideal for gaming logos, or anything that wants to be cute and whimsical but not too twee.

Here’s the prompt:

Make a logotype for a fictional indie game studio. The character of the logo should be a pixelated character or creature that emerges from an explosion of colorful pixels. The style should be based on classic video games. It should look playful and nostalgic.

Illustration

If you need a logo that looks hand-drawn and artistic, this is your style.

The prompt I’ve used here:

Design a hand-drawn illustrated logo for an artisan bakery. The logo should include a whimsical hand-drawn whisk that magically transforms into a hot air balloon. Choose warm, cozy colors such as soft yellow and warm brown, and make it charming and a little bit homely.

Stylized Illustration

For when you need that illustrated look but with a smoother, stylized finish.

Prompt:

Create a stylized illustrated logotype for a children’s book publisher’. The logo should include a winding path leading to an open book, filled with whimsical elements (stars, a crescent moon, or fantastic creatures peeking out) in a deep purple, teal, and gold color palette. The style should be magic and whimsical.

Each of these styles within this Illustrative Albedo preset offers a world of options to design logos that are truly works of art. Give them a try and see what works best for your brand!

Tips for Crafting Effective Leonardo AI Logo Prompts

After that, we’ve taken a guided tour of all these presets and styles, but now you want to know: ‘How do I write the perfect prompt, anyway?’ There are a few tricks I picked up along the way that I’m happy to share with you.

1. Be prescriptive: If you can, be specific about the prompt. ‘Make a logo for a coffee shop’ is useless, but ‘Make a logo for an artisanal coffee shop called “Bean Dreams”, where a stylized coffee bean morphs into a cloud or thought bubble. Use warm brown tones with a bright orange accent, and the style should be fairly modern but with a vintage feel.’ gives a logo specific to our needs and design. So, in general, be specific in the prompts.

2. Describe the Feel: You can get it there with words such as ‘sleek’, ‘rustic’, ‘vibrant’, ‘minimalist’, or ‘futuristic’.

3. Color: Colors are important when it comes to your logo. Let Leonardo AI know if you would like to use any colors in your logo.

4. Reference Shape or Symbol to tag it in the prompt: a geometric shape, a leaf, a wave… anything.

5. Select the Mood or Feeling: Like ‘Energetic’, ‘calm’, ‘professional’, or ‘playful’ could guide your logo.

6. Don’t Be Afraid to Mix Styles: You’ll be asked to mix styles sometimes, and these are often the more interesting outcomes: ‘Design a logo that blends elements of Art Deco (geometric patterns) and modern, minimalist style.

7. Try, Try Again: If you aren’t getting the results you want, reword it, pick different keywords, or just try something else. Sometimes all it takes is a small tweak to become a dazzling hit.

Common Mistakes to Avoid:

1. Too vague: Simply giving the prompt ‘Make a cool logo’ isn’t very informative.

2. Complicating the simple: while detail can be a good thing, too much detail can clutter up your logo.

3. Avoiding Brand Personality: Make sure your prompt reflects the personality and values of the brand you’re designing for.

4. Ignoring Scalability: That monogram might be super-cool at a huge scale, but it’s going to get ugly when you shrink it down. Keep that in mind when crafting your prompt.

5. Ignoring color psychology: different colors elicit different feelings. Ensure your color choices reflect your brand message.

• All you have to do is choose one of these methods which will suit best for your project.

Legacy Mode: The Traditional Approach

While Image Gen v2 is recommended for its ease of use, it’s worth understanding the legacy mode for comparison:

• To get into the legacy mode of image guidance, you need to turn on the Legacy Mode option in the Image Gen tool. After that, you should click on the Image Guidance tab which will allows you to access the image guidance options.

Source: Leonardo.ai

• Choose what kind of image guidance you want from a drop-down menu.
• The legacy mode doesn’t provide descriptions for the image guidance techniques, assuming a level of prior knowledge from the user.

Why Image Gen v2 is Recommended

• Improved User Interface: The sleek, modern design of Image Gen v2 makes navigation a breeze, even for first-time users.
• All-in-One Access: Having all image guidance options under a single icon reduces complexity and saves time.
• Better Presets: Image Gen v2 comes with improved preset options, giving users a head start in their creative process.

Image To Image: The Art Of Transformation

Let’s start with what I think is the most important part of an image guide – Image to Image Guidance. Think of it as giving one photo for another creation, telling them “Hey take this and run with it!”. So basically, it keeps the overall look of an input image and color pattern in your output image.

Here’s how it works:

1. Upload a base image or use the previous generation.
2. Set strength (how much input has on output).
3. Add text prompt(s) which should be used as guiding light throughout the transformation process.
4. Click Generate & watch the magic happen!

Pro tip: a strength of 30-40% usually gives a good balance between new ideas and input image; too high and you basically just get a copy of your input, too low and the input won’t have much influence at all.

For example, let’s try Leonardo AI’s “Anime” preset:

Input image: A calm landscape with mountains and a lake.

Prompt: “Turn the landscape into a busy futuristic city watercolour painting in anime style.”

Strength: 35%

Try it out, see what amazing things you can come up with!

Output Image:

As you can see, the output image kept the color pattern and overall look of the input image.

Depth to Image: Adding Dimension to Your Creations

Next on the list of things to talk about about images, is depth to image. This is a really cool tool that uses the depth within an inputted image and uses it as a guide to create another one. It’s like giving your 2D pictures a 3D effect and is useful for keeping the input image’s spatial layout and 3D structure.

Here’s how you use Depth to Image:

1. Pick an input image with recognizable depths (landscapes are perfect for this).
2. Adjust the strength – remember more strength means more of the original picture’s depth.
3. Make sure your prompt is consistent with the input image for best results.
4. Generate then prepare yourself for mind-blowing!

For example, let us try using Leonardo AI’s “Lifelike Vision” preset:

Input Image: A forest path leading towards a faraway mountain

Prompt: “Transform the forest path into a magical crystal cavern, glowing crystals, ethereal atmosphere”

Strength: 1.2 (Depth to Image often needs a bit more value)

Output Image:

As you can see, the output kept the 3D structure and spatial layout of the input image.

Remember – consistency between your input image and prompt is key here; if I give the prompt to display a beach scenery where the input image only shows the mountains might not lead to the expected results. Although sometimes those unexpected outcomes are what make everything worth it… don’t you agree?

Pose to Image: Strike a Pose!

All right, let’s get into some body language with Pose to Image! This feature is about taking the pose from your input image and putting it into a new creation. It’s like digital charades, but better.

Here’s how you can make the most out of Pose to Image:

1. Choose an input image that has a clear pose.
2. Set the strength – often 1 works well here.
3. Craft a prompt that describes what you want in the new image but do not forget about the pose!
4. Generate and see your character strike a pose!

Let’s give it a try with Leonardo AI “Cinematic Kino” preset:

Input image: A ballerina in graceful arabesque pose

Prompt: “Futuristic robot mimicking ballerina’s pose, sleek metallic body, neon accents, cyberpunk style”

Strength: 1

Output Image:

Pro tip: This feature works best when your input image and prompt are in the same ballpark – trying to get a sitting character from a standing character might leave you scratching your head at the results!

Edge to Image: Sharpening Your Vision

Now let’s talk edges! Edge to Image is like giving the AI a coloring book page saying “Fill this in with something awesome”. It detects edges on your input image and uses them as guides for generating new images.

Here’s your Edge to Image:

1. Pick an input image with clearly defined edges.
2. Set strength – default 1 often works well here.
3. Craft a prompt that describes what you would like within those edges.
4. Generate and watch the edges come alive!

Let’s do an example using “Lifelike Vision” preset which you can find by turning on the legacy mode:

Input image: simple line drawing of cityscape

Prompt: “Transform cityscape into a vibrant colorful cartoon world, whimsical buildings, flying cars, and happy citizens”

Strength: 1

Output Image:

Edge to Image is great for keeping the composition of your input image while changing its style or theme entirely. It’s like giving a total makeover to the image but leaving its bone structure!

Style Reference: Channeling Your Inner Artist

All right art snobs, it’s time for style! Style Reference is like having styles from your Favorite Artist– you give it an image with a style you love, and it applies that style to your new creation. Pretty cool huh?

Here’s how you can rock Style Reference:

1. Choose a reference image with the distinctive style you want to emulate.
2. In Image Gen v2 you can use up to 4 style references – mix and match for some real unique results!
3. Craft a prompt describing what you want to create in that style.
4. Generate and be amazed by your stylish new masterpiece!

Let’s do an example using Leonardo AI “Concept Art” preset:

Style reference: Van Gogh’s painting

Prompt: “Modern city skyline in Van Gogh’s style, swirling sky, vibrant colours, bold brushstrokes”

Strength: Mid

Output Image:

Pro tip: Try different combinations of style references – you might stumble upon a totally new art style which is yours only!

Content Reference: Bringing Ideas to Life

Next up is Content Reference. It’s useful when you have a specific subject or composition in mind, but you want to change up the details. This generates the output image keeping the content and composition of the input image.

Here’s your Content Reference cheat sheet:

1. Choose a reference image with the content or composition you want to emulate.
2. Remember, this doesn’t transfer colors or textures – just the general shapes and layout.
3. Craft a prompt that describes your new vision, using the reference image as a guide.
4. Generate and see your new take on the reference content!

Let’s give it a try with the Leonardo AI “Diffusion XL” model present in Legacy mode:

Content reference: A photograph of a cosy living room

Prompt: “Transform the living room into an underwater scene, coral furniture, fish swimming through seaweed curtains, and bluish lighting”

Strength: Mid

Output Image:

Remember, Content Reference works best with regular SDXL models rather than Lightning models. And don’t forget to describe what you want to see in your prompt – the more detail, the better!

Text to Image: When Words Paint Pictures

Now let’s get literal with Text to Image. This feature is like having a really artistic friend who takes everything you say way too literally -– in the best possible way!

Here’s how to make Text to Image work for you:

1. Upload an image with text in it.
2. Craft a prompt that describes how you want that text to be represented visually.
3. Generate and watch your words come to life!

Let’s try an example using the Leonardo AI “Leonardo Graphic Design” preset:

Input image: A sign that says “Summer Vibes”

Prompt: “Visualize ‘Summer Vibes’ as a beach scene, sun-soaked sand, crashing waves, colorful beach umbrellas, and people enjoying the sunshine”

Strength: 1

Output Image:

This feature is great for creating visual representations of quotes, book titles or any text-based concept. Get creative with it!

Character Reference: Bringing Consistency to Your Cast

Last but not least, let’s talk about Character Reference. This is your go-to tool for creating consistent characters across multiple images. It’s like giving the AI a character sheet for your digital RPG!

Here’s how to use Character Reference like a pro:

1. Choose a reference image of your character.
2. Craft a prompt that describes the new scene or situation for your character.
3. Generate and see your character in a whole new light!

Let’s try an example with the Leonardo AI “Portrait Perfect” preset:

Character reference: A portrait of a stern-looking businessman in a suit

Prompt: “Transform the businessman into a space colony administrator, wearing a futuristic uniform, standing on an observation deck overlooking a Martian landscape”

Strength: Mid

Output Image:

Remember, Character Reference works best with humanoid subjects and generated characters. For real people or pets, you’ll need to be extra descriptive in your prompt.

When to Use Each Image Guidance By Leonardo AI

Let me explain when to use each image guidance by Leonardo AI. Think of it as an AI art compass – pointing you toward the right method for your creative vision.

• “Portrait Perfect” or Cinematic Kino Preset is recommended if you want your characters to look more realistic.

What do I do with AI-generated Art Knowledge Now?

Finally, we are here. We started with simple Image-to-Image transformation and ended up making complex Character References. But this is only a fraction of all possible image guidance methods. The magic happens when different models are combined!

What can you do? Anything! Why not try mixing Style Reference with Pose to Image and make characters imitating works of your favorite artists? Or maybe Content Reference along with Edge to Image could help you remake famous paintings from scratch?

Be as creative as possible – there are no limits. So go ahead, give them a shot but most importantly have fun while doing it! Who knows – maybe some AI is waiting for your idea to create a new masterpiece right now.

Also if something amazing (or terribly wrong – yes it also happens) comes out during this process why not share it with friends? The community would be interested in seeing what people can do with these tools!

Remember that every professional was once an amateur so don’t hesitate to ask questions and break the rules because we believe in you!

Now let the magic flow through you. Excited about the results!

Frequently Asked Questions about Image Guidance

Q1: Can I use multiple image guidance methods at once?

A1: Yes, you can. New Image Gen v2 allows using several Style References (up to four) during one generation process. For other methods usually it’s one per generation however who says we cannot run more than one or combine findings afterward?

Q2: Why doesn’t my output exactly look like the input image?

A2: It happens because the text prompt serves as a reference rather than a template; strength setting and the random nature of AI also contribute.

Q3: Why do Character Reference generations differ sometimes?

A3: Different prompts, random seeds or model interpretations can cause variations even though the main goal is to keep main features constant. To get more consistent results be detailed in character descriptions.

Q4: Can I use these techniques for commercial projects?

A4: Yes, you can. According to Leonardo AI’s terms of service generated images may be used commercially but always check the for most recent terms and consider reference image copyright.

Q5: Which strength setting should I use?

A5: It depends on how much impact you want the ant input image to have. Start with default settings then adjust as needed; remember higher strength values may be required when working with methods like Depth to Image.

Q6: Does Text to Image work with handwritten text?

A6: No it does not. Handwriting tends to confuse AI therefore clearly typed texts are preferred when using the Text to Image technique.

Introduction

If you have spent time playing around with Leonardo AI then chances are that you’ve asked yourself; “how can I take what I’m creating to another level?” Well, my friend, this is the place for you. They work like the secret sauce of AI image generating; helping one refine their creations by telling them what they don’t want to see in their images.

But why are these prompts important? Well, imagine that you’re trying to create a beautiful portrait, but for some reason, your character has three eyes or a crooked nose. Annoying right? That’s when negative prompts will swoop in and save the day by helping you get rid of these unwanted attributes and achieve the image you have in your mind.

Leonardo AI Models with Negative Prompt Features

Now, before we get too excited, let’s talk about which Leonardo AI models play nice with negative prompts. It’s like an exclusive club, and not all models have a VIP pass.

Alchemy V2 Models: These are the ones that steal the show. All Alchemy V2 models come equipped with options for negative prompts thereby giving one complete control over their creations.

PhotoReal V2 (Legacy Mode): Sorry about this folks! The legacy mode does not support negative prompts in Photo Real v2.

Image Gen V2: Ah yes!! Now we’re talking! In the new image Gen V2 mode, every single preset in Leonardo has joined the club so to speak when it comes to having the ability to work under the influence of negatives too. This includes;

• Phoenix
• Anime
• Cinematic Kino
• Concept Art
• Graphic Design
• Illustrative Albedo
• Leonardo Lightning
• Lifelike Vision
• Portrait Perfect
• Stock Photography

To access these superpowers of negativity just head over advanced settings tab which feels like finding a secret treasure chest on your favourite video game- once you find it there is no limit to what can be achieved!

Step-by-Step Tutorial: Using Leonardo AI Negative Prompts

Let’s get practical and hands-on now. Here is how you can use negative prompts within Leonardo AI with some step-by-step guidance:

Step 1: Open up Leonardo AI then navigate to the image generation interface

Step 2: Look for the “advanced settings” section. You know, it’s like that one sock that always seems to disappear in the laundry — hidden in plain sight.

Source: Leonardo.ai

Step 3: Find the negative prompt option. Think of it as your new best friend and get to know its ins and outs.

Step 4: Now comes the fun part. In the negative prompt field, enter what you don’t want to see in your image. For example, if you’re trying to create a peaceful landscape, you might type “people, buildings, vehicles” to ensure only nature remains.

Step 5: Create your positive prompt as normal. Something like “A lush green forest with a babbling brook, sunlight filtering through the leaves, photorealistic style” would go well with our negative prompt example from above.

Step 6: Click generate and let Leonardo AI work its magic!

Think of using negative prompts like sculpting – you’re chipping away at things that hide this masterpiece underneath. It might take some practice but once you get a hang of it, you’ll wonder how could anyone live without them!

List of the Best Negative Prompts For Leonardo AI

• Now, let’s get to the juicy part – what should you put in those negative prompts? Here’s a list of some tried-and-true negative prompts that’ll help you create characters that look like they stepped out of a Hollywood blockbuster:

For amazing characters:

1. “deformed, distorted, disfigured”

2. “extra limbs, extra fingers, extra arms”

3. “poorly drawn face, poorly drawn hands”

4. “blurry, cloned face, gross proportions”

5. “mutated hands and fingers”

6. “Long neck, mutation, mutated”

For astonishing landscapes:

1. “blurry, hazy, unfocused”

2. “oversaturated, overexposed”

3. “pixelated, low resolution”

4. “watermark, signature, text”

5. “unrealistic lighting unnatural colors”

For excellent portraits:

1. “asymmetrical eyes crooked nose”

2. “double chin deformed ears”

3. “bad anatomy malformed limbs”

4. “out of frame cropped”,

5. “poorly drawn clothing messy hair”

Remember that these are starting points. You can also combine and match these or come up with your own. This is like creating pizza from scratch – everyone’s ideal combination is slightly different!

Examples Before and After

Now let’s see how these bad boys can transform creations in real-life situations. We’ll run through a few scenarios using different models and presets.

Example 1: Creating a Serene Landscape (Phoenix Model)

Positive Prompt: “A tranquil mountain lake at sunset reflections on water majestic peaks in background golden hour lighting”.

Without Negative Prompt :

With Negative Prompt: “People buildings boats animals texts artifacts.”

See? It’s almost like wiping human hands off this world – we got ourselves an awe-inspiring natural setting!

Example 2: Crafting a Cyberpunk Character (Anime Preset)

Positive Prompt: “A futuristic cyberpunk warrior neon-lit city background advanced cyber implants dynamic pose”

Without Negative Prompt:

With Negative Prompt: Medieval fantasy elements natural backgrounds ordinary clothing simplistic designs.

This girl looks like she just stepped out from some cutting-edge sci-fi anime!

Example 3: Designing a Minimalist Logo (Graphic Design Preset)

Positive Prompt: “A minimalist logo for a tech startup with abstract geometric shapes and blue and white color scheme”

Without Negative Prompt:

With Negative Prompt: detailed illustrations photos text gradients complex patterns of more than 3 colors.

Now that looks more minimalistic and simple.

Example 4: Portrait Refinement (Portrait Perfect Preset)

Positive Prompt: “Professional headshot of a middle-aged businessman confident smile suit and tie office background”

Without Negative prompt :

With Negative prompt: “asymmetrical eyes, poorly drawn face, bad anatomy, out of frame”

Talk about a glow-up! Our businessman went from “maybe I should reconsider this career” to “corner office material” real quick.

Top 10 Negative Prompts for Stunning Character Creation

Looking to take your character creation game to the next level? Here are ten negative prompts that’ll help you craft stunning and consistent characters:

1. “Deformed features extra limbs asymmetrical face”

• This way AI will only produce realistic and proportionate characters.

2. “Blurry low resolution pixelated”

• Ensures characters come out crisp and clean.

3. “Inconsistent lighting harsh shadows”

• Keeps the light on your character smooth and natural.

4. “Multiple characters crowded background”

• The focus should be on one detailed character at once.

5. “Watermarks, signatures, text”

• Replace any undesirable text elements in the character image.

6. “Unrealistic proportions, cartoonish features” (unless that’s what you’re going for!)

• This helps to keep a more realistic style for human characters.

7. “Incomplete body parts, cropped limbs”

• Ensures your character is fully rendered.

8. “Inconsistent art style, mixed media”

• Keep your character’s style cohesive.

9. “Anachronistic elements, out-of-place objects”

• Useful for maintaining historical accuracy or a specific setting.

10. “Overly complex backgrounds, distracting elements”

• Keeps the focus on your character rather than the surroundings.

Remember that these are just starting points! You can mix and match these negative prompts or customize them to fit your needs better – the key here is experimentation and finding what works best for you and your unique vision!

Advanced Scenarios: Negative Prompt Leverage

Now let’s take a look at some more advanced cases of using negative prompts:

Scenario 1: Eliminating unwanted elements

Suppose you’re creating a peaceful forest scene but Leonardo AI keeps adding some woodland creatures which you don’t want to include. Here’s how you might deal with it:

Positive Prompt: “A lush green forest with towering trees, dappled sunlight, and a winding path”

Without Negative Prompt:

With Negative Prompt: “Animals, people, buildings, vehicles, litter, signs of human presence”

You might observe that the generated image without a negative prompt already doesn’t contain the things mentioned in the negative prompt but sometimes I still include it because it may lead to better results.

Scenario 2: Refining textures and lighting

Perhaps you’re working on a portrait but skin textures aren’t coming out right. Give this a shot:

Positive Prompt: “A close-up portrait of a middle-aged woman with kind eyes and a subtle smile; soft natural lighting”

Without Negative prompt :

With Negative Prompt: “harsh textures; blemishes; wrinkles; harsh shadows; overexposed highlights”

This should yield an image where the skin texture appears smooth with gentle lighting.

Scenario 3: Improving composition and focus

Sometimes you want to create a more focused, uncluttered image:

Positive Prompt: “A single red rose in full bloom; shallow depth of field”

Without Negative Prompt:

With Negative Prompt: “multiple flowers; busy backgrounds; distracting elements; full scene in focus”

The result? A beautiful, intimate shot of a rose that looks like it came straight out of a professional photo studio.

Remember that practice makes perfect in these advanced scenarios – try different combinations of positive and negative prompts until you find ones that work best together! You never know when you might stumble across your secret weapon formula…

Best practices for Leonardo AI Negative Prompts

Alright, now let’s talk about some pro tips to help make you a negative prompt ninja:

1. Balance is key – don’t go overboard with the negatives or else your images might end up being too bland. Strive for balance!

2. Be specific – instead of using broad terms like “unrealistic” try using more specific descriptors such as “cartoon style”.

3. Consider the model – different models or presets may respond differently to the same negative prompts so experiment around to see what works best for each one.

4. Keep a prompt library – if you find a negative prompt that works really well then write it down somewhere so that way next time when planning on what type of image should be generated there won’t be any need for thinking from scratch as all necessary notes are already placed together

5. Use Positive and Negative Prompts in Tandem: Think of them as a dynamic duo. Your positive prompt sets the stage, while the negative prompt refines the performance.

6. Start Simple: If you’re new to negative prompts, start with just one or two simple terms and gradually build up as you get more comfortable.

7. Review and Iterate: Don’t expect perfection on the first try. Generate a few images, see what works, and refine your prompts accordingly.

Troubleshooting and FAQs

Q: I’m in trouble! My negative prompts don’t appear to be working.

A: Initially, ensure you have turned on the option of a negative prompt from the advanced settings. If that is not the case, attempt simplifying your negative prompt and gradually adding more terms.

Q: Are all Leonardo AI models compatible with negative prompts?

A: Negative prompts are not supported by all models. Remember that they can be used for any model from the Alchemy V2 family as well as for various presets in the new Image Gen V2 mode. But for legacy mode PhotoReal V2, does not support negative prompts.

Q: How many terms should I include in my negative prompt?

A: There isn’t one right answer; however, starting with 3-5 terms and adjusting accordingly is generally a good rule of thumb. Too much can prevent the AI from working properly.

Q: Can negative prompts completely exclude particular components?

A: While they are powerful, they may fail sometimes when it comes to excluding some elements completely. The chances of certain things appearing are considerably minimized but there could still be some occurrences.

Q: Why do my images look worse with negative prompts? What am I missing?

A: You may be over-constraining the AI. Try decreasing the number of terms in your negative prompt or reducing their specificity.

Introduction: The Power of AI in Three-Dimensional (3D) Modeling

Remember those long days spent staring at a screen building your 3D models by manually entering polygons? Those days are long gone, thanks to giant leaps in artificial intelligence, which have resulted in Leonardo AI 3D Models and Meshy.ai, among others, that only require a few clicks to bring our imagination into the virtual world.

Now why should I care about objects that are created by artificial intelligence? Picture being able to design stunning video game assets or even create immersive VR worlds without having any coding knowledge whatsoever. If ever there was a time when you needed attention-grabbing product designs which could win over investors during those big pitches but needed more artistic skill or time then look no further.

The great thing about powerful AI-driven software is its user-friendliness – anyone can use it! You don’t need years’ worth of experience or even an educational qualification related to computer graphics design; if there’s creativity within someone they’ll find success using these tools. Think of having a team full of experts waiting around ready to take on board any creative ideas inspired by users like yourself before turning them into stunning visual representations – That’s essentially how easy working with Leonardo feels.

But hey veterans – don’t panic just yet because this technology isn’t here to replace humans but rather enhances their capabilities; allowing them to achieve more than ever thought possible when it comes down to three dimensions creating. These are exciting times indeed!

Learning Leonardo AI from Scratch

Now before we go too deep into putting together 3D models with this software let us take some time to appreciate Leonardo AI’s greatness, shall we? Unlike other programs controlled via Discord servers (yes, I am looking at you app makers), the interface of Leonardo AI is simple and clean making it very easy to use.

So how do get started? It is a walk in the park:

• Visit Leonardo AI website
• Sign up for an account which costs nothing to start with
• There you have it! But hold your horses because we still have a long way ahead.

Pro tip: just get familiar with the interface before you start your first project. Play around and click things, try hovering over buttons so you can see where everything is. I promise it will save you hours in the long run. Maybe you’ll find that weird little feature that will make your 3D art awesome.

Creating 3D Images: A Step-By-Step Guide

And here comes the fun part! Leonardo AI has a huge variety of tools and presets to help you transform your 2D image into a mind-blowing 3D one. Here that:

Leonardo Realtime Generation Tool

You need results fast. This bad boy is like having a 3D artist on steroids pumping results out at the speed of light. To access Leonardo Realtime Generation Tool, go to Leonardo AI dashboard and click on Real Time Generation Tool. I have a detailed blog post on Real-Time Generation to create colouring books here. If this is the first time you are using the Real-Time Generation tool, I highly recommend you read this article as most of the concepts described in this article will be replicated here.

Source: Leonardo.ai

Once you are in the Realtime Gen tool you should see the empty image and the elements on the right side default values set to 0.

Source: Leonardo.ai

Here’s an example prompt to get started which you can copy and paste into the input prompt text box:

“Massive blue battle mech, 3D concept art, heavy armour plating, visible hydraulics, cockpit details, weapon systems in the neutral background full body visible”

Source: Leonardo.ai

But don’t stop there! The real magic happens when you experiment with different prompts. Mix elements that shouldn’t belong or add specific lighting conditions. Try something like this:

“Armored battle rhinoceros, 3D game asset, heavy plate armour, steam-punk weaponry, glowing energy core, charging pose in the neutral background ”

The key here is detail — give as many specifics as you can so Leonardo AI knows what you’re looking for. And don’t be afraid to get weird sometimes; often the most amazing results come from the most unexpected combinations!

Leonardo AI Presets

Now let’s talk about your secret weapons in the world of 3D – the Leonardo AI presets! Each one has its own unique flavour, so let’s go over when to use them and what sets them apart:

To access these presets disable the Legacy Mode in the Image Generation Tool to access the following Presets. To learn more about each of these Presets and other models in Leonardo AI check out this in-depth article.

Phoenix Preset (3D Render, Ray Traced Preset Styling):

Perfect for: Creating stylized 3D characters and environments with a balance of detail and artistic flair.

Style: realistic detail of surfaces, lighting and material properties, with a mix of realism and stylisation.

When to use: When you want to accentuate texture and material quality, but still retain a stylised look.

Example prompt: “High-end sports car paint job with metallic flakes and a glossy clear coat.”

The Illustrative Albedo preset is your secret weapon when you want to:

• Create detailed textures for 3D models that pop with style
• Experiment with different material properties while maintaining a stylized look
• Blend realistic lighting and textures with more fantastical or exaggerated designs

Legacy Mode Image Gen (3D Animation Style Model):

Perfect for: Creating a wide range of 3D animated characters, objects, and scenes with various stylistic options.

Styles available: Anime, 3D Render, Ray Traced, Dynamic etc which are relevant for 3D images.

When to use: When you want to achieve diverse looks in your 3D animations, from nostalgic to modern anime and dynamic action scenes.

To use the 3D Animation Style Model, switch to Legacy mode in the Image Generation Tool and pick the Finetuned Model as 3D Animation Style. Also, by default the high resolution is turned off in Alchemy settings, if you want your output to be in higher resolution, turn on this option. You might also want to turn on the Prompt Magic Option to V3 for better prompt adherence.

Example prompts for different styles:

Anime Style:

“A legendary boy samurai-mech fusion, cherry blossom petals swirling, wielding an energy katana that cuts through dimensions. Hyper-detailed armour with glowing runes, eyes blazing with determination.”

3D Render:

“3D character of a charming villain in the Disney-Pixar style. The character should have a sleek, stylish outfit with a slightly mischievous expression. Incorporate exaggerated features, like a long, pointy nose or an elaborate hairstyle. The design should balance humour and menace, with smooth, rounded shapes and a vibrant color scheme.”

Ray Tracing:

“A 3D model of a sprawling cyberpunk city at night, with towering skyscrapers, neon signs, and elevated highways. The city should have a dense, layered look with various levels, flying vehicles, and crowded streets. Include small details like street vendors, holographic billboards, and dark alleys to bring the scene to life..”

Dynamic:

“A time-bending battle between cosmic entities, reality fracturing around them. Multiple arms trailing motion blur, manipulating the fabric of space-time. Swirling vortexes of energy, debris frozen mid-explosion.”

The Legacy Mode is great for:

• Designing characters for animated shorts or series in various styles
• Creating assets for both retro and modern-style 3D games
• Producing anime-style 3D characters and scenes
• Generating dynamic action sequences with a 3D animated feel

These are just starting points – the true power lies within these tools as you begin tweaking settings & combining different elements together. For instance, try using the Phoenix preset but then add stylized elements inspired by concept art or use the graphic design preset as a base for a logo before enhancing it with some of the detailed texturing from illustrative albedo. Play around until you find what works best for your specific project; don’t worry if the first few attempts don’t turn out how imagined – like any skill mastering AI takes practice so keep at it! Remember, half the fun is getting there.

From 2D to 3D: Enter Meshy.ai

Meshy.ai is like magic that turns flat creations into three dimensions. Here are the steps:

• Go to Meshy.ai and create an account and in the dashboard click on Image to 3D which is present in the left side bar.

• Upload your Leonardo AI image and wait some time till Meshy.ai converts your image into a 3D model

Source: meshy.ai

• Download the new model by clicking on the download icon and download it in fbx file format because this format preserves the color of the 3D model.

Wait there’s more! Not only can Meshy.ai convert two-dimensional graphics into three-dimensions, but it also has the following features for premium users:

I know what you’re thinking: “This sounds too good to be true!” And you should be sceptical. While it is incredibly powerful, Meshy.ai isn’t perfect. Sometimes you’ll need to do a bit of manual tweaking in your favorite 3D software to get things just right. Even then, though, it’s still a huge time-saver over starting from scratch.

Bringing Your Models to Life: Animation Techniques

Now that you’ve got your 3D models ready to go, it’s time to make them animate!

Animating with Meshy.ai:

Meshy.ai offers some basic animation tools that are great for adding simple movements to your models. Want your character to walk? Or maybe you want your product to run? Either way – Meshy.ai has got you covered.

Here’s a quick guide to animating in Meshy.ai:

• Select your 3D model in the Meshy.ai interface
• Click on the ‘Animate’ tab.
• For Meshy.ai to animate the 3D model, it’s better to have a model in a T-pose and a clear gap between limbs, body and palms. You will also find this information in the instructions below.

• For better results, centre your character and adjust the height based on your image.

• Place the markers in your image as shown in the example below. Meshy.ai would use these markers to animate your model. After this is done, click on next and it will start generating an animated model which could take a few minutes.

• Choose from a selection of pre-made animations and click download (Downloading animated model in Meshy.ai is available to only paid users).

• Export your animated 3D model

Animating 3D Model with Adobe Mixamo: The Free Animation Tool

This is a free tool to animate your 3D models, it has even more animation styles compared to Meshy.ai. If you want to take your animations to the next level, Adobe Mixamo is your best bet.

Here’s how to use it:

• Export your 3D model from Meshy.ai in a Mixamo-compatible format (like FBX).
• Head to Mixamo.com and upload your model.
• Choose from hundreds of pre-made animations. Want your character to breakdance? There’s an animation for that!
• Customize the animation to fit your needs. You can adjust the intensity, and speed, and other settings in the animation.

• Download the animated model and show it off to the world!

Remember, animation is all about creating life! Don’t be afraid to experiment – see what happens when you push the boundaries – and, above all else, remember this is supposed to be fun, too.

Real-World Applications: Where Can You Use These 3D Models?

The most important part of the Coloring Book is the Colouring Book slider here. If you slide this thing up all the way, then boom -your picture becomes an ideal page for a coloring book. However, do not stop only there. Try moving other sliders as well, because why not? Maybe want something like anime style, which would be kid-friendly, too? In that case, just move both Kids Illustration and Toon & Anime upwards at the same time. Or if you are feeling kind of folksy today, give some love to the Folk Art Illustration slider, please.

The Art of Combining Elements

Now that we’ve got our base coloring book elements let’s combine them to make some magic! Think of yourself as a mad scientist, except instead of creating monsters, you’re making adorable things for kids to color in.

If you want pages that are going to make small children squeal with delight, try this combination:

Kids Illustration: Value from 0 to 0.5

Toon & Anime: Value from -0.5 to 0.5

Coloring Book: Value from 1 to 1.3

For something a little bit more grown-up while still being accessible to colorists of all ages, give this a go:

Folk Art Illustration: Value from 0 to 0.5

Coloring Book: Value from 1 to 1.3

Also, you might want to explore various styles that might suit your needs, some popular styles for kid coloring books are Anime, Dynamic, Painting, Sketch B/W and Sketch Color.

5 Tips for Taking Your Coloring Book Designs to the Next Level

Now that we’ve covered the basics, here are some advanced tips for creating unique coloring book pages:

1. Find Complexity in Simplicity: Remember, someone is going to color this. Discerning complexity within simplicity can be challenging but rewarding work. For example, choosing prompts such as “simple yet detailed fairy garden” often leads to striking results.

2. Be Descriptive: The more specific, the better! Instead of writing “a cat,” try “a fluffy Persian cat wearing a top hat and monocle”—let your imagination run wild!

3. Combine Styles: Stylistic combinations can produce fascinating results when used experimentally; consider mixing Folk Art Illustration with Toon & Anime.

4. Know Your Audience: When designing for children, it’s essential to keep things simple and recognizable. However, with adults as the target demographic, you can afford to go more intricate and abstract.

5. Change the perspective: For example, “an eye-level view of a flower garden from a bug” or “a top-down view of a maze from a bird.”

Congratulations! You’ve made it (and maybe even several pieces). Now it’s time to show off your hard work. Here’s how you can take your coloring book from digital to physical:

Putting together your coloring book

1. Pick out your favorite generations

2. Use a tool like Canva or Adobe InDesign to lay out your pages

3. Include a fun cover and maybe some coloring tips!

Sharing and selling your designs:

1. Share them on social media – Instagram and Pinterest eat this stuff up!

2. Set up an Etsy shop for digital downloads

3. Consider print-on-demand services like Amazon KDP for physical copies

Remember, the world could use more color — and who better than you?

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Even the best AI artists hit snags sometimes; here are some common issues you might run into and how to fix them:

Images are too complex: Try reducing detail in your prompt or adjusting the Kids Illustration slider for simpler designs.

Lines are too thin: Increase the Coloring Book slider to get thicker, more defined lines.

Style isn’t quite right: Play around with different combinations of sliders until you find the perfect mix.

The prompt isn’t generating what you want. Try rephrasing or getting more specific in your description.

Images are too similar: Slightly adjust your sliders between generations to get more variation.

How to Write Prompts That Generate Great Anime Art Every Time

Alright, so I’m about to spill some tea here…

And by “tea,” I mean tips on how to create killer prompts that’ll get you the best ever art out of your AI!

Just like everything else in life, it all starts with a good foundation. And in this case, the foundation is your prompt.

But what exactly does that mean? What do I need to keep in mind?

Don’t worry! Keep reading, and soon enough, you’ll be able to get those AIs working exactly as you want them!

The basic structure of an anime art prompt:

[Character description] + [Outfit/Accessories] + [Pose/Action] + [Background/Setting] + [Style/Mood]

Here are some tips on describing characters and scenes:

• Be detailed about hair color, length, and style – is it spiky enough to impale someone?
• Mention eye color and shape – are we talking saucer-sized or more realistically proportioned?
• Unique features – scars? Magical symbols? One strand of hair that defies gravity?
• Don’t forget about those iconic anime expressions – sweat drop, anyone?

Using style-specific keywords:

• For Anime Monochrome: High contrast, dramatic shadows
• For Anime Retro: 80s aesthetic, bold lines, vintage anime style
• For Anime Semi-Realism: Realistic textures, anime proportions, blend of realism and anime

Example prompt combining these elements:

A girl kunoichi with long, flowing purple hair and golden eyes that are cat-like. She is wearing a black and silver ninja suit that has a moon symbol on the back. Crouching on a tree branch, ready to pounce. There are cherry blossoms falling in the background. The style of illustration is anime with semi-realistic eyes and skin texture.

Tips for Choosing the Right Model

Choosing the right model can make or break your AI art project – it’s like picking the right tool for the job (you wouldn’t use a hammer to paint a masterpiece). Here are some tips to help you choose:

1. Consider your subject matter – some models work better with certain subjects. For example, Anime works well with anime characters while PhotoReal is great for lifelike portraits.

2. Think about style – are you going for realism, stylization, or something in between? This can also help narrow down which models might be best suited for your needs.

3. Speed vs quality – if speed is important then faster models like Leonardo Lightning XL may be more suitable but if quality matters most then slower but more detailed ones would be better options.

4. Experiment – don’t hesitate to try different models on same prompt as they could yield surprising outcomes!

5. Examples: Look at the examples showing different presentations for each model to get an idea of what it is good at, and which stylistic variant is your preference.

Keep in mind, that there is no single best way: the right one for you will depend on your project and your personal tastes. And fun, remember, comes from experimenting anyway.

Introduction

Chances are that you landed on this guide because, after creating some images with Leonardo AI, you wondered: ‘How can I make my characters look the same in every image?’If that’s the million-dollar question at the back of your mind, consider yourself in the right space. We’re about to guide you through the process of using fixed seeds to generate consistent-looking characters in Leonardo. And by the time you’ve finished this quick guide, with just the flip of a switch, image consistency will be as smooth as a warm, digital smudge.

But, for those of you who have never used Leonardo AI, you have no idea what you are missing. While some AI art tools require you to jump through multiple online hoops before accessing the application (I’m looking at you, Discord server-controlled apps), Leonardo AI has a clean, easy-to-use interface, not too unlike what you would expect from photo or drawing software designed for human use. For the seasoned AI artist and the novice alike, it’s a game changer.

Understanding Fixed Seed in Leonardo AI

Okay, so before explaining what the nitty-gritty entails, let’s do some fancy footwork by finding a definition of ‘seed’ in AI image generation. In this context, a seed is what gives the AI its instructions for how to randomise all of the pixels in your picture. When you use a random seed, it’s like randomly dealing yourself a hand of cards: every time you play, you might get different things. But when you use a fixed seed? That’s when the magic starts.

Connecting to a fixed seed in Leonardo AI is like telling a robot: ‘Hey, remember that prominent character you worked out last night? Here he is again, try changing his pose!’ That fixed seed is your ticket to hold on to all the important details of that character you made – those striking features in the face, that certain hair colour, that interesting injury that only he is known to have.

The advantages? Where to begin? Consistent characters over the series of pictures, easier storytelling, making a coherent series of pictures, and a huge time-saver. Forget the endless regeneration to get the character looking just right.

Step-by-Step Tutorial: Using Fixed Seed in Leonardo AI

So now that we know what a cool feature this is, let’s get our hands dirty and learn how to use it. You’re sure to find it’s not as complicated as you think.

Step 1: Fire up Leonardo AI and head to the image generation interface.

Source: Leonardo.ai

Step 2: Bend your eyes toward the ‘advanced settings’ section in the lower right corner of the screen. It’s easy to miss, like someone hiding under a desk. But it’s worth finding.

Source: Leonardo.ai

Step 3: After you find the option of using Fixed Seed, simply turn on this option to begin using this.

Step 4: If this is your first time, leave it blank and let Leonardo AI create a random seed, type in any prompt and click the generate button to generate your character for you.

Step 5: Like what you see? Beautiful, now find the seed number in the image metadata. Simply click on the three-dot icon which is present above your image generations. You will see the Copy Seed option, simply click on that to copy the seed number.

Alternatively, you can also find the Seed number by clicking on View Generation Info in the above options and you will find the Seed number in the Generation information as shown below.

Step 6: Paste the seed number in the ‘Fixed Seed’ field for your next generation.

Step 7: Tweak your prompt (shift the pose, the background, etc.), but keep that seed identical.

Step 8: Click on generate and watch your character born, keeping their core traits!

Just bear in mind, that the fixed seed gives your character a set identity, but you can still play around with other parameters, trying out different prompts, styles or backgrounds with your character staying the same.

Practical Examples (with screenshots)

Let’s put this into practice with some real-world examples. I will take you through three situations where fixed seed is the hero of the hour.

Example 1: Creating a consistent character across multiple poses

Let’s say we’ve created an awesome cyberpunk detective. Here’s our initial prompt:

“A gritty cyberpunk detective, neon-lit streets, trench coat, cybernetic eye, film noir style”

This is the output generated by Leonardo AI using the Phoenix Model. Now copy the seed on the the image generation as shown in the above steps and paste the Seed in the Fixed Seed input box and enable the “Use Fixed Seed” option as shown below.

Source: Leonardo.ai

We will now keep the seed but tweak the prompt. Now you copy this prompt keeping the fixed seed.

“A cyberpunk detective sitting at the bar. In a neon-lit interior. With a trench coat. With a cybernetic eye. Film noir-style”.

See how our detective keeps their distinct look? That’s the power of fixed seed!

Example 2: Maintaining facial features while changing outfits

Let’s switch gears and create a fantasy character. Our initial prompt:

“A young elf mage wears robes decorated with silver laces, and has green eyes and silver long hair”.

Now, let’s change their outfit but keep their face the same. Don’t forget to copy the seed of this image generation and paste it into the Seed option input box. Copy the prompt below and click on generate:

“an elf, a young mage, with green eyes and silver hair, leather armour, fantasy style”

Voila! Same face, new clothes. Perfect for showing character progression or different scenarios.

Example 3: Exploring different backgrounds with the same character

Let’s take our cyberpunk detective again and place them in various settings:

“A cyberpunk detective with a cybernetic eye, yellowish tones, standing in a grey high-tech laboratory, holographs projected against the walls, blue lighting’”

Fixed seeds are great, because you keep your character the same, no matter where you put them!

Tips for Effective Use of Fixed Seed

OK, now that you’ve seen fixed seed in action, here are some pro tips for taking your character creation to the next level:

1. Balance consistency with variation: Fixed seed is fine for consistency but it’s better to generate a few variations.

2. Debugging: If your character begins to look a bit wonky, you can modify the prompt a bit, and/or tinker with the other parameters that Leonardo AI exposes, such as guidance scale and image resolution.

3. Add with other features: Fixed seed is one of the features that Leonardo AI offers. It comes with others, such as inpainting or outpainting. Combine other features and look at the final results.

4. Maintain a seed library: Find a seed that creates spectacular faces. Bank it! Maintain a library of seeds for various styles or character types.

5. Offer descriptive prompts: More detailed prompts enable Leonardo AI to maintain consistency across the generations.

Example Prompts for Character Consistency

Time to make some characters! Here are some prompt templates to get you rolling:

Template 1: A [adjective] [race/profession/class] with [distinctive feature], wearing [clothing], in a [setting], [art style] style.

An angelic heavily made-up pre-Raphaelite woman with long flowing brown hair smiling on an isolated dark tree trunk.

An elven ranger with a longbow and a dark leaf-patterned leather armour across her chest, looking to the horizon from a forest clearing, misty day, digital painting.

Template 2: [Profession] from [specific time period/culture], [physical description], [action/pose], [lighting], [camera angle]

Courtesy of the Met Museum, New York.Samurai from Edo period Japan, weathered face and topknot, drawing sword, dramatic side lighting, low angle shot.

Template 3: [Fantasy creature] cross [of animal 1] and [animal 2], with [distinctive feature], in a [surroundings], [canvass movement] decorated

Dragon-wolf hybrid, eastern dragon with pirouetting arctic wolf head (glowing runes on scales), in a snowy mountain pass, Art Nouveau style (gold) (1907).

Keep in mind, for instance, that even though this prompt uses the same fixed seed, changing the action and setting would give you a completely different result for the character:

Playing a game of chess, the young boy scans his opponent at the table. His brown eyes — a deep, dark brown — are framed as he tilts his chin ever so slightly towards his shoulder. His nose is thick and straight, with faint freckles spanning its length from the centre of his lips to the bridge.

Advanced Techniques

Now ready to graduate? Let’s look at some advanced techniques that you can employ with fixed seed in Leonardo AI:

1. Constant seed: To maintain style consistency across art in a series of images – good for keeping drawings tight in a book/game.

2. Character Relationships: Use the same seed to generate multiple characters, and then randomly alter portions of each one. This can create characters that are related to each other, or that look like they belong in the same ‘world’.

3. Older and Older Creeps: Start with a base seed, then progressively adjust age-increasing prompts in your prompt, and watch your character — year by year! — age before your eyes.

4. New Worlds: Once you have a seed, transform the setting or genre, turning it completely on its head. Create ‘What if?’ scenarios for your characters.

5. Controlled Randomness: Use fixed seed methods mixed with random generations, to achieve a balance between repetitiveness and surprise.

Conclusion

And voilà, your characters will be less quirky and more compelling. You now have the set of tools to fuel Leonardo AI with your own consistent characters. This paves the way to continue engaging with Leonardo AI by playing with web text content. But that will be another article, this one is just the introduction, the first step in an exciting adventure. We’ve laid a solid foundation for your first stylistic transformation – adding fixed seed kick-starts your exploration.

Moreover, these explorations encourage future experimentation. We hope these stylistic overlaps will make you long for and be excited about trying new experiments to see what discoveries you can unveil.

Push the boundaries, experiment with techniques, and most of all, have fun! Are you creating characters for a personal project? Are you building them for a game? Are you just creating them for the love of it? With a fixed seed, you’ve now got a powerful tool in your AI artwork creation toolbox.

So, what are you waiting for? Fire up Leonardo AI, roll a seed and start growing your characters. Who knows? The next digital icon might just be a fixed seed away!

FAQs

Q: Can I use the same seed for different types of characters?

A: Very much so! You’ll find that the same seed will generate sets of prompts that will be largely consistent in style and outcome, but try it with very different prompts and you can get some interesting mutants that preserve an underlying theme.

Q: What if I forget to save my seed number?

A: Don’t worry! While you will not be able to clone the same exact character, you can always generate a new seed and try again. It’s not a bad idea to write it down for use next time but you can always go to your past generations and look up the seed.

Q: Can I use fixed seed with other AI art generators?

A: Many of these tools are similar but the implementation may vary. Take a look at the documentation for the tool you are using before creating your masterpiece.

Q: How does fixed seed affect image quality?

A: Fixed seed has no effect on image quality; it relies upon consistency in character features. However, it always pays to use the best seeds and settings for your prompts.

Q: Can I combine multiple seeds somehow?

A: The Leonardo AI does not support overlay, but you can get almost the same effect by using the fixed seed for your main character and then using inpainting or outpainting added from the other seeds.

Now you’re a fixed seed pro! Just remember, a consistent technique can be honed with practice, so get generating and share some consistent characters with the world. Creative!
