In this post I will explore the "3D Panels" prompt. Not too long ago, trying to produce an image with panels would have required some perseverance and some luck. The AI models today do a much better job. Often the panels include only partial panels on the edges, giving the impression that you are viewing just a portion of a very large display - but if this is not the effect you want you can simply crop the image (I did this for the image above, which contained a couple of partial panels on either end).
Basic Prompt Elements
Artist Modifiers - No artist modifiers are needed in this prompt.
Style Modifiers - the "core" style modifiers include: 3D panels, Folk art, modern abstract figurative aesthetics, heavily textured, organic, imperfect. Optional modifiers include: detailed, modern Chinese ink painting, magical, archetypal, weird, gloaming, weird, abstract geometric art, abstract expressionism, widescreen
Color Modifiers - The default for this prompt is "earthen palette with brown and black and red and gold". I have also used primary colors, secondary colors, gold leaf, white outlines, and other variations. This can be modified based on the image you want to create.
Subject Modifiers - any subject matter is permissible - in the image above I used Folklore figures such as a goblin, an elf, a fairy, a dwarf, a wizard, a dragon.
Start Prompt
Folklore figures such as a goblin, an elf, a fairy, a dwarf, a wizard, a dragon, in 3D panels, Folk art, modern abstract figurative aesthetics, earthen palette with brown and black and red and gold, heavily textured, organic, imperfect, detailed, modern Chinese ink painting, widescreen
Revised Prompt
A widescreen series of 3D panels featuring folklore figures including a goblin, an elf, a fairy, a dwarf, a wizard, and a dragon. The panels are created in Folk art style with modern abstract figurative aesthetics, using an earthen palette of brown, black, red, and gold. Each figure is heavily textured, organic, and imperfect, inspired by the fluidity and detail of modern Chinese ink painting. The figures are intricately crafted with expressive brushstrokes and layered textures that capture the mythical essence of each character. Gold accents add an enchanting glow against the earthy tones, giving the panels a timeless, mystical feel. This composition blends folklore with contemporary aesthetics in a detailed and imaginative widescreen format.
Notes
This prompt works well in Dall-e3 but also other models. The image above used the same starting prompt as the "Magic of the Old World" image.
Also, there are multiple ways you can modify this prompt. I have used "3D panels" and this often segments the image into panels (and sometimes these have a three dimensional effect). You can drop the 3D and/or you can use terms such as triptych, quadriptych, tetraptych, and so on, You can change the color scheme, add in artist modifiers, and of course experiment with different modifiers and subjects. Keeping the subject modifiers simple and sparse allows the AI to fill in the blanks, often with impressive results.
Variation - Mythological Figures
A slight variation in theme, from folk lore to myth. The image above was created using the prompt below and several evolutions, all using Flux Schnell.
Prompt
Mythological figures such as a chimera, a unicorn, a phoenix bursting in flame, a Medusa, a siten, in 3D panels, Folk art, modern abstract figurative aesthetics, archetypal, black and red and brown and gold, heavily textured, organic, imperfect, detailed, abstract expressionism
Variation - Four Seasons
The theme of the four seasons lends itself to panels and specifically to tetraptychs. The image above was made with Dall-e3 which produced additional partial panels on either side of the image, which I cropped off.
Starting Prompt
Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, tetraptych, Folk art, modern abstract figurative aesthetics, archetypal, black and red and brown and green and gold, heavily textured, organic, imperfect, detailed, modern Chinese ink painting, widescreen
Revised Prompt
A tetraptych representing the four seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter, created in a folk art style blended with modern abstract figurative aesthetics and modern Chinese ink painting techniques. Each panel embodies archetypal seasonal elements using black, red, brown, green, and gold hues. The artwork is heavily textured, organic, imperfect, and detailed, with an expressive yet harmonious flow. Spring features delicate blossoms, Summer radiates vibrant warmth, Fall highlights fiery leaves, and Winter showcases serene snow and barren trees. The composition is widescreen and richly evocative.
Variation - Still Lives
This variation focused on common (and not so common) still life subjects.
Start Prompt
abstract still life figures such as a vase with flowers, a bowl of fruit, a fortune teller's crystal ball, a cat, a glass bowl with a goldfish, in 3D panels, Folk art, modern abstract figurative aesthetics, deep dark colors, heavily textured, organic, imperfect, detailed, modern Chinese ink painting, widescreen
Revised Prompt
A widescreen series of 3D panels depicting abstract still life figures, including a vase with flowers, a bowl of fruit, a fortune teller's crystal ball, a cat, and a glass bowl with a goldfish. Each object is crafted in a Folk art style with modern abstract figurative aesthetics, inspired by Chinese ink painting. The color palette features deep, dark tones, creating a moody, mysterious atmosphere. The figures are heavily textured, organic, and imperfect, with detailed brushstrokes adding depth and character. The crystal ball adds a sense of mystery, glowing subtly amidst the dark colors. The composition captures the surreal and whimsical essence of still life in an intricate, atmospheric, and captivating widescreen format.
Note
The Flux Pro v1.1 image below used the same prompt as the starting prompt above, without "widescreen". The panels are no longer present, but it is still an interesting image!
If you use this prompt, enjoy! And if you use it on NightCafe, please let me know (@Locutus_of_Borg).
