The prompt

Prompt

A science fiction book cover illustration, a vast neon-lit megacity at night seen from a high vantage point, flying vehicles leaving light trails between towers, a colossal holographic face projected above a downtown building, rain-slicked streets reflecting pink and cyan, a lone figure in a long coat standing on a rooftop ledge in the foreground, a large empty area in the upper third reserved for the title, no text, no letters, no title, digital oil-painting style with visible brush texture, deep palette of midnight blue, electric magenta, and cyan

How to use this prompt

  1. 1

    Open the generator that matches the model and version above, and start a new image rather than editing an existing one.

  2. 2

    Set the output to 2:3 and apply the settings shown in the parameters panel — together those produced the 516 × 768 image on this page.

  3. 3

    Paste the prompt exactly as written. Changing the wording changes the image, so copy it before you edit.

  4. 4

    Paste the negative prompt into the separate negative field; this entry was tested with one.

  5. 5

    Generate, then change one thing at a time. The result will not be pixel-identical to the image on this page, because no seed is recorded for it.

Stable Diffusion exposes the sampler, step count, and CFG scale as separate settings, and this entry uses all three. If you are trying to reproduce this image, match the sampler name exactly and keep the step count and CFG as recorded — they are part of the recipe, not decoration.
