Here are my first efforts. I used Artistly for this and to keep things consistent I choose ‘Design from prompt’ and ‘High quality.’
The first image had the prompt ‘Ninja’ - not a bad image at all.
This was my second prompt, “An ancient, traditional style ninja crouched in a battle ready pose set in an open scene, cherry blossom trees in the background with petals floating in the scene as if caught on an invisible wind. Soft sunrise light casts the scene in a dramatic, hyper real cinematic moment.”
Also not a bad image, but maybe not quite as dramatic as I was hoping for. I didn’t specify the direction of the model, so I have a side view rather than having the character face the camera. I clearly need to learn to craft better prompts. Let’s hope this course helps me do that.
