When we talk about AI characterThe foundation of everything lies in the quality of your description. Does this sound like simple text to you? Not at all! The prompt is like a movie script: it defines the plot, atmosphere, and character.

To master this technique:

• Be detailed. "Warrior" isn't enough. Better: "Medieval warrior with blackened armor, a torn red cape, a scar on his right cheek, and a defiant stare under a stormy sky."
• Add adjectives that evoke sensations: “melancholic,” “euphoric,” “enigmatic.” This guides the AI to reproduce emotions in the face and posture.
• Define graphic styleIf you want a painterly style, add: "oil on canvas style with visible brushstrokes." For a more "neo-noir" feel: "dramatic lighting with neon lights and deep shadows."

Know the technical fundamentals

While you don't need a PhD in computer science, understanding basic concepts will help you get the most out of your AI character:

• Models and enginesPlatforms like Stable Diffusion, DALL·E, Midjourney, or VQGAN+CLIP have different “flavors” of generation. Each one interprets your prompt in a unique way.
• Resolution and generation steps:
  • Output size: e.g., 512×512 px for quick sketches, 1024×1024 px (or higher) for high-quality illustrations.
  • Steps: The more steps, the greater the detail, but also the longer the calculation time. A range of 30–50 usually balances speed and sharpness.
• Random seed controlSetting a “seed” allows you to reproduce exact results if you rerun the prompt. Useful for iterating on minor variations.

Iterative refinement techniques

The magic happens when you iterate:

1. Generates multiple versions. Almost all apps give you 4–6 images per prompt.
2. Select the most promising. Observe proportions, facial expression, lighting.
3. Reword your prompt to refine details:
   • If realism is lacking: “add subtle reflections on the armor and realistic metal textures.”
   • If the pose is rigid: “dynamic posture with body slightly leaning forward, right arm extended.”
4. Overlapping referencesSome tools allow you to upload a guide image. Upload it to clone colors or poses.
