Art studio: portraits, covers and maps

Where to open it, what to draw

The generate cover and generate portrait buttons in the workbench and the card editor open the art studio with the target already chosen. You can also open the studio directly and pick an image type (portrait, cover, map) and a target (a work’s character, a card, a work’s map…).

1. 1
   Pick a model

   Models differ in style and price; the generate button shows the Echo price.
2. 2
   Describe it, or draft in one click

   One-click draft writes the prompt from the character’s profile; add details, props and mood. For full control, tick “Write the final prompt myself”.
3. 3
   Generate, pick, apply

   Apply replaces the current image; the old one stays in your library. A portrait can be made into a cover, or cropped into one for free.

One style across the work

• Save as the work’s style: keeps the style, framing and description; later images of the same type in this work use it automatically, so characters match.
• My presets: keep parameters you like and reuse them across works.
• Reference image: choose Set as reference on a result, or upload one; the next generation uses it (Midjourney and GPT Image).
• Negative prompt: what should not appear, comma-separated.

Midjourney and NovelAI parameters

• Midjourney (Niji V7, V8) makes 4 images per run. Speed is Relax / Fast / Turbo; faster costs more.
• p code: a Midjourney personalization code that locks a style, up to 3, space-separated. Use your own codes only.
• Style references, variety (chaos), weirdness and stylize: low for final art, high for ideas; keep weirdness at 0 for portraits.
• NovelAI suits anime characters; tune version, sampler, steps and prompt guidance. It does not take reference images yet.
