Brief Summary
This video explores ten distinct styles that can be incorporated into AI image generation prompts to achieve unique and visually striking results. By adding specific key phrases to the end of prompts, users can transform their images with effects ranging from traditional Japanese art to futuristic metallic finishes.
- Ukio-e: Creates images in the style of Japanese woodblock prints.
- Iridescent Reflection: Adds a reflective, metallic look with iridescent colors.
- Metallic Effect: Transforms subjects into metallic figures or objects.
- Diagrammatic Drawing: Generates technical-looking diagrams with hand-drawn elements.
- Pixel Art: Produces images reminiscent of 8-bit and 16-bit video games.
- Polaroid Photograph: Creates faded, aged photographs with washed-out colors.
- Low Poly: Generates images with a simple, edged, PlayStation 1-era graphic style.
- Award-Winning Photography: Produces cinematic, high-contrast images with muted colors.
- Volumetric Lighting: Adds powerful glows and strong illumination to scenes.
The "Ukio-e" style emulates traditional Japanese woodblock prints. Applying this style to prompts such as "woman's face" results in images with a traditional drawn look. Even modern characters like the Incredible Hulk can be rendered in this style, incorporating elements like futuristic temples to enhance the Japanese aesthetic. Adding "3D render" to the prompt can give the image more depth while maintaining the art style and color palette.
The "iridescent reflection" style adds a reflective, metallic look with iridescent colors. This effect can be applied to various subjects, such as a woman's face, to create a unique reflection. When applied to characters like Mario or Darth Vader, it gives them a metallic appearance with colors reminiscent of bubble fluid, adding a subtle yet striking effect.
The "metallic effect" transforms subjects into metallic figures or objects. Applying this to Mario results in a metallic look without the iridescent reflection. For a woman's face, it can add shards of metal, creating a striking image. This effect can also turn a modern home into a futuristic, metallic structure. When applied to Bruce Lee, it creates a gold statue-like appearance.
The "diagrammatic drawing" style creates images with a technical, hand-drawn look, resembling diagrams. Applying this style to a woman's face adds grids and lines, giving it a drafted appearance. While the effect may vary, applying it to characters like Darth Vader can add more technical aspects to the image. The Incredible Hulk also benefits from this style, with lines drawn in to enhance the diagrammatic look.
The "pixel art" style produces images reminiscent of 8-bit and 16-bit video games. While it may not always work perfectly with detailed subjects like a woman's face, it excels with characters like the Incredible Hulk, creating a proper 8-bit graphic. It can also transform a futuristic temple into something that looks like it's straight out of a video game.
The "Polaroid photograph" style creates faded, aged photographs with washed-out colors. Applying this to a woman's face results in an image that looks like an old, corroded Polaroid. It can make Mario look photorealistic but with a faded appearance, as if someone found an old picture. This style also works well with the Incredible Hulk, washing out the colors while keeping a tint of green.
The "low poly" style generates images with a simple, edged look, reminiscent of PlayStation 1-era graphics. Applying this to Darth Vader or a woman's face creates a clean, edged effect. While it may not always significantly alter some subjects, like a futuristic temple, it can create a simple 3D object. The Incredible Hulk benefits from this style, maintaining details while achieving the low poly look.
The "award-winning photography" style produces cinematic, high-contrast images with muted colors. Applying this to Super Mario results in dramatic lighting and shadows. A woman's face appears photorealistic and super sharp, resembling a high-quality photograph. This style often contrasts the subject matter with the environment, creating interesting results, such as Darth Vader holding flowers.
The "volumetric lighting" style adds powerful glows and strong illumination to scenes. Applying this to a woman's face creates a glow that reflects off her forehead, giving it a particular look. With Mario, the lighting cuts through the scene, emphasizing the flame in the background. This style can also create a strong glow around subjects like the Incredible Hulk or The Rock, enhancing the overall visual effect.

0:00 I've got 10 more styles that you can use to create stunning images in your journey just add these key phrases to the end of your prompts with a comma separating them and you can get some pretty cool results the first one is ukio a which is a Japanese style of image a wood block print as you can see here I've added a woman's face and this is kind of the general look you will get with that style of art but I've also tried some more recognizable characters again seeing silver kind of result you get with the really cool traditional Japanese look and drawing but with modern day characters like Incredible Hulk and the way it's framed it up and added these elements is really cool and the Japanese is actually a futuristic Temple it's giving it that Japanese style and look tool which I think is really cool has that really traditional drawn look to it Darth Vader even though
0:46 he actually looks much the same we've got some elements in there like the The Great Wave in the background and some flowers and things like that really dressing it up and on top of that you can actually add 3D render to it to get a very interesting effect also so you can see I've got the woman's face again but this time she's got a bit of depth the same style but with that 3D look to it and the temple once again a little more 3D looking and something that uh has still got that art style and that color palette but um just has a really striking look and also Darth Vader 3D dressed in a bit more of a traditional sort of Japanese with flowers all over it so it's a nice kind of different look for him and the Incredible Hulk a little less influenced on this but still kind of has that look and that frame in the
1:31 background with that three-dimensional shadowing and lighting added to it so that's another cool style to play with with your props and also Mario if you want something a little bit different I've also experimented with that but uh moving on we now have iridescent reflection which is kind of like a particular it's like a reflective metallic look where you get a few sort of iridescent colors you can see here in the woman's face that kind of reflection that's added to her and I think that's given it a pretty cool effect add it to Mario and you can see how we've got that iridescent color sort of reflecting off him and he has a bit of a metallic Look to Him Darth Vader the way his armor shines it kind of looks like kind of like a like a bubble fluid you'd use when you're blowing bubbles as a kid but like that color and reflection added to his suit I
2:18 think is a Nifty subtle effect and add it to something like a temple and it'll sort of influence the color palette strongly and give you that kind of colored look but while we're on that look metallic effect is another cool effect you can play with look at this Mario image again and he once again has a metallic look only this time without the iridescent reflection but he looks real and metallic and I think that's pretty cool I tried it with the woman's face and it's added shards of metal around her and it created a really striking image I think something a bit different than what I expected and I decided to go up Mickey Mouse as well do like a metallic Mickey Mouse figure which uh looks really cool another really cool effect and also I tried a modern home which has kind of turned the home into a metallic home and makes it
3:04 look like something from the future of science fiction movie I think that looks pretty cool and also Bruce Lee it's made him gold a lot of the bristly images I've tried they try to use a little yellow which I think has to do with his Game of Death outfit from the movie game of death but you see it's like a gold statue of Bruce Lee by adding that metallic effect to him now diagrammatic drawing is another really cool effect you can play with it kind of creates like a like a diagram and um like a hand-drawn sort of technical look to all your images so the woman's face you can see she looks like it's been drafted there's grids and lines added and it has that really could have kind of a technical look to it and I tried it again with the futuristic Temple and once again it looks a little bit like a technical drawing but this is probably the least influenced exam people I have
3:51 for this particular style again with Mario there's a little bit to it but it's still really stuck with Mario himself but when we get to Darth Vader you can see how it's added more technical aspects to that image so it's a bit hit and miss some of the stuff is a little bit you'll try it it will work with most things but not all but um either way you'll still get some kind of modified look on your prompt it's incredible Hulk once again very cool looking image very has a that sort of diagram look to it with the lines drawn in and overall just a really cool effect I think it is if you're looking for something a little bit different now pixel art if you're someone who enjoyed playing video games and grew up playing old school 8-bit 16-bit video games this might be something worth playing with so the woman's face it actually hasn't done a great job with because I I believe it kind of conflicts
4:37 with what the focus is such as the eyes and lips but you can see how it's attempted to introduce it into that image but when you do it to the Incredible Hulk it looks like a proper 8-bit graphic and I think it looks really cool and yeah another character like Mario and even though he doesn't look necessarily like that in the old 8-bit video games it's done a really good job of converting what he looks like into pixel art which I think is really cool and this futuristic Temple it does look like something out of a video game and has that really cool pixelated look without being pixelated kind of like the the way it's organized the elements of the image in this one here it's a little less pixelated again planet Earth but it still has a video game look to it so it does seem very inspired by all video game styles and
5:23 also moving on we have the Polaroid photograph so this is a really cool effect of creating really old looking photographs you see how we've got this the woman's face it looks like an actual Polaroid you've found that's faded and corroded and the colors have been washed out and I kind of love that look it has a bit of authenticity to it yeah Mario it's made him more photorealistic but then added that faded look to it so it does look like someone's found a 20 or 30 year old picture of Mario on the floor scanned it and put it online same with the Incredible Hulk that does a really great job of washing out those colors while still keeping a tint of green in there so uh I think that's also a really cool way to look at that effect futuristic Temple it's uh does kind of
6:09 looks like a 70s photograph there but with modern architecture and it's kind of got like a little bit of markings on the left a bit of sort of like red in there to mix with the colors showing that age look that the Polaroid is known for and Darth Vader again this actually looks like a photo of Darth Vader taken on a Polaroid while he's standing in the woods so something a little bit different and something that's pretty cool the next one is low poly if you want to create like a low poly style image kind of like the old PlayStation one type Graphics type in low poly once again with Darth Vader you get a low poly look looks very sort of like clean and edged and the woman's face also it has created that effect a lot of people will actually spent a lot of time in Photoshop trying to create this effect or photo so I think it's cool that you can do this in mid-journey now it hasn't
6:55 really done a lot with the futuristic Temple so but I kept it in there as an example of sometimes you won't get the exact look but it does look like a very simple 3D object which is also I guess low poly if you want to look at it that way Incredible Hulk again that low poly look really present here and does a great job of keeping the details in there so it looks like the the uh the subject and planet Earth a really simple looking planet Earth low poly but has a cool 3D look with good shadowing and um I'm really happy with how this image turned out now award-winning photography I've used this a lot to create images it has like a really kind of like a muted color and high contrast but tends to lean towards a cinematic look so super Mario you can see the shadows and everything are very sort of uh very
7:42 present and it looks like he's being shot in a dark room with very sort of intentional lighting looks very sort of dramatic same with this woman's face photo realistic super sharp it's it's amazing that this is actually AI generated and not an actual photograph but it does look like that really high level quality of photograph in a futuristic Temple uh the whites had handled the reflections and the lighting again really warm and cinematic lighting with a muted color um the kind of all the images tend to have that kind of feel to them Incredible Hulk this is an example too of how it tends to find ways to contrast certain subjects so the Hulk is sitting there kind of not really ratching out in the middle of the rain it's uh sometimes
8:28 it tends to kind of contrast the subject matter with the environment which is interesting especially when you look at Darth Vader holding uh flowers and with balloons around him kind of contrasts to his look but uh still keeps that same look to it so very interesting prop to play with and I've had some awesome results using award-winning photography the final one is volumetric lighting which is a type of lighting which uh kind of has a powerful glow to it and really affects the scene you can see in these images that uh with the woman she's got a glow sort of really reflecting off her forehead and it has a very particular look to it and uh does it does a great job of sort of Illuminating the scene same with Mario a bit of flame in the background you can see the lighting really cutting through and coming in front of him a bit just
9:14 really the lighting is really strong when you use volumetric Lighting in your prompts again with this Temple you see how the lighting is overpowering Con the camera a bit and the glow of the temple at the top is really strong so it's a really cool way to affect your images and the Hulk he's got a bit of a glow coming off of his back and you can see it just that glow it looks really good and also I decided to throw the Rock in here and you can see the way this the lights reflecting off his skin and creating a really glowing effect so those are my 10 styles to try for this time uh this is the second video I've done on this so I'll continue to do a few more but um I hope you found that useful try adding these into your prompts to see what results you can get otherwise I hope you enjoyed the video
10:01 and thanks for watching and I'll see you again next time
