Today we're studying materials and how they influence how a character is perceived. Have fun! Day 4 – Material Focus - 15-Minute Artist Challenge · AI Character Academy

Hey folks, sorry I haven’t been here much today -I’ve been fighting a sinus thing for about a week and today it just hit me hard. I will be on a bit later tonight to catch up on some posts and prompts. Hope you are having a great Friday!

Have you ever had a generation that was "almost" there? You know, the one that could be nearly perfect if the lighting was better, the camera angle was SLIGHTLY different, or if the character was in a different pose? Here is a fast and easy fix especially for those images, and a real example of one I fixed just this morning. Note: this works on ALL types of images, not just illustrations. The first image, while rendered beautifully, just doesn't hit. In this case, Nano Banana 2 gave me the character in the stock turnaround pose. I love the room, the colors, and the painting style, but...not exactly award-winning material. I figured I'd try my agent prompt for cinematic shots, and while not every shot turned out great - I ran the prompt three times for a total of 12 new shots - I got about 7 usable ones while keeping the environment and the character consistent. Here is the prompt I ran (make sure Agent mode is enabled in Google Flow): Please give me 4 different camera angles of this shot and vary the framing from medium shots to extreme close-ups with macro texture details, and everything in between. Keep the character, clothing, and environment consistent in each image, vary the shots and the character's pose. That's it. Super-simple. The new images are much more suitable for project work.

Some prompts get used once... then quietly disappear into chat history, never to be seen again. A tragic fate, really. Humanity has invented artificial intelligence, then somehow still loses the one prompt that actually worked. Every great prompt deserves better. At Prompt Workshop, forgotten prompts get a second chance. They get refined, improved, organised, and turned into tools that save time, spark ideas, create content, and help build real businesses. So if you've got a folder full of "I'll use this later" prompts... this is your sign to rescue them. Because the best prompt isn't the one you generated. It's the one you actually use. 💗
