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: PICK ONE — COHERENT OR ARTISTIC?

I use both because it helps evolve my creations. Alternating between the two has given me fantastic results, but I always start with artistic.

NC: DO YOU USE START IMAGES? IF SO, WHAT ARE YOUR REQUIREMENTS FOR A GOOD START IMAGE?

At first I didn’t use start images but when I saw the results that other creators were getting, I started using them.

I use photos that I find on Google that are thought provoking or colorful or that produce an emotional response in me. 

NC: WHAT GOT YOU STARTED AS AN ARTIST ON NIGHTCAFE?

I was a huge fan of Dreamscope, which was in the process of shutting down, when one of its users suggested going to NightCafe. I have been addicted ever since I joined.

Another one that surprised me that I have to mention is “Adorable.” Using ‘that one has been so much fun, and I was shocked by how fun it can make images of everything from kaiju to rabbits in coffee cups.

NC: DO YOU HAVE A BACKGROUND IN ART?

I was always studying art books from a young age and have taken art classes throughout high school and college. I’ve been to countless Art Museums and Galleries here in NY, across the US, and across the world in London, Paris, Denmark, Barcelona, Egypt, Germany and Venice.

NC: WHAT INSPIRES YOUR WORK?

The work of the other creators is most inspiring. When I see a creation that I like, I try to figure out what prompts they used to create them.

NC: WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE MODIFIERS OR PROMPTS?

I always use 8K3D and 8K resolution then I vary between DSLR, Flicker, Unreal Engine, and detailed painting. I like these modifiers because they enhance the creations with detailed realism.
