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'm influenced mostly by books I'm reading. I lean towards looking for interesting colours and composures, usually with a slightly odd or weird aspect.

NC: MOST UNDERRATED ARTIST ON NIGHTCAFE?

NC: PROMPT THAT MOST SURPRISED YOU?

Kodak aerochrome, Stygian colour and outer or inner epicycloid.

But it was actually adjusting the weighting on the default negative prompt to +0.1that surprised me most. 

NC: ANY TIPS FOR PROMPT WRITING?

I tend to keep the subject matter brief in a prompt and focus on the quality, medium and composure.

Find something that works and evolve and experiment with it.

Currently my prompts look like this:

"Ricoh GR3 High Contrast Black and White, (misty:1.8) atmospheric eccentric odd classic horror film alien invasion, (lighting in the style of herb trimpe:1.8) porcelain skin, Chromolithography, RISO print]: ((intricate detail, $$""black and white""),[Photo, photograph, $$""Kodak aerochrome"", fujifilm, lomography] ((#film, nitrate photo), 8k hyperdetailed, highly intricate, hyperrealism delicate, detailed, complex, sophisticated) wide-shot, realistic face"

NC: WHAT LED YOU TO USING NIGHTCAFE?

Just for fun I've been using it for over a year. I was blown away with coherent to start with and it's been fun to watch it evolve to where it is now.
