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 would say photography plays a big part in influencing my art. The things that I've learned in college while studying mass media kind of works out well in my prompts.

Apart from that, my fellow colleagues from NightCafe, creators like Arachnix, Nate, Nylaria, somniamia, Gazelli, and many more keep me on edge with their work.

The more amazing art I see, the more it influences me to create something more beautiful. You can say it's a cheeky rivalry on my part!

NC: MOST UNDERRATED ARTIST ON NIGHTCAFE?

Imagi-Nation is one of the most underrated creators. Maybe I'm biased towards Coherent, but he has some excellent art.

NC: PROMPT THAT MOST SURPRISED YOU?

"Magic, Neon, Kinetic Pointillism Style, Holographic, Flickering Light”

These worlds are truly magical. I'm still fascinated by how many different outcomes can come from this prompt.

NC: ANY TIPS FOR PROMPT WRITING?

Be as much descriptive as possible, elaborating on the small details helps a lot.

Negative prompts are key (but I'm only speaking about Coherent since that's all I do).  

A good start image helps to create better images, and of course use the Accuracy Boost as the final secret sauce.

NC: WHAT LED YOU TO USING NIGHTCAFE?

I stumbled upon it while looking up AI art about 3 months ago. I’ve been creating it daily ever since.

I should say it's fate, because it has helped me a lot through my life as a therapy, like a happy escape from reality.
