NC: WHAT INFLUENCES YOUR WORK?

My creations are mostly cute and adorable which are the words many of my prompts start with. 

I suffer from anxiety and to vent what I feel I turn it into cute creations and puns, instead of doing dark and gruesome. 

I have always been interested in painting and drawing and I take a lot of photos in my spare time trying to capture the things people might not see as beauty. 

The puns are a huge part of my creations, but even when I don't do cute adorable puns I still try to find the beauty and fun side in everything I create. 

NC: MOST UNDERRATED ARTIST ON NIGHTCAFE?

That is a tough question. There is so much talent on the site that deserves more love. 

But two I have followed since the beginning are: 

@shooflower. She is amazing and have so many creations that deserve more attention.

@toomanynates. Who always have great ideas and comes up with the most brilliant and unique creations. 

NC: ANY TIPS FOR PROMPT WRITING?

When I started at NightCafe, you had to write really detailed prompts to even get close to what you were looking for. 

I regularly checked the #open-prompt-gang in the beginning and had a lot of help from the open prompts from the top names at Nightcafe. 

When the chat feature came out, the chat I was in was the Open Prompt one. Everyone has always been so supporting and helped out when you had problems. 

Over time, as the AI developed, it got easier to write prompts. Now I write the general idea of what I want, use Prompt Magic and then ChatGPT to rewrite my prompts. 

I'm a perfectionist so it's a lot of copying and pasting in the right order and often rewriting everything several times to get the right image of my idea. 

NC: WHAT LED YOU TO USING NIGHTCAFE?

It was a colleague of mine, @david_gotet, who introduced me to NightCafe. 

It became quite a competition between us to see who had the most badges and who had the most 5% placements in the Daily Challenge. 

But it's all for fun, and we help each other a lot in choosing the right pictures for challenges in the end.
