The Artist Spotlight is your inside look into the influences, collaborations and prompts that drive the NightCafe community.

We catch up with some of our most original creators to find what inspires them, who their favorite creators are, and how they use image generator algorithms as part of their work.

NC: WHAT INFLUENCES YOUR WORK?

I am mainly inspired by poetry, particularly texts by Paul Eluard. 

I like to be surprised by what the poet's words suggest as an image, then modifying the prompt by changing artist name to gradually transform the image.

I like working in long series.

NC: MOST UNDERRATED ARTIST ON NIGHTCAFE?

There are many that I like. First of all I have to mention cosmicorphan for his wonderful work and his kindness. I also really appreciate DBFISH who makes extraordinary images, Frederic Bastiat, Eabani, Cerbero-can, and many others.

NC: PROMPT THAT MOST SURPRISED YOU?

Not really - every prompt is a surprise 😄

NC: ANY TIPS FOR PROMPT WRITING?

Just test constantly and in every way possible. See how a prompt works on its own, and how it works with different seed images or generators.

NC: WHAT LED YOU TO USING NIGHTCAFE?

After testing different image generation sites, I was immediately attracted by the artistic side of NightCafe as well as the friendly relationships of the community. 

I thought I'd give it a try, and I'm staying!
