Heather Green on X: "#promptshare with Recraft V4.1 Flash from @recraftai I love that even a complex prompt/image can be created with this❤️‍🔥 PROMPT: A whimsical, vintage-style illustration depicts a Halloween-themed scene with a prominent wooden sign that reads "Witch Way To The Books." The sign is adorned with a witch's hat, autumn leaves, bats, and a crescent moon. To the left, a broomstick leans against the signpost, accompanied by potion bottles and herbs. In the foreground, an open book lies next to a lantern and a cauldron with a feather quill. To the right, a black cat wearing a bow sits atop a stack of old books, with a key resting on the bottom book. In the background, a cozy, dimly lit cottage is nestled among trees, with a lamppost illuminating the path. The overall color palette is warm and earthy, with rich browns, oranges, and purples, evoking a magical and autumnal atmosphere. All isolated on a white background suitable for sublimation."

NoPuppet on X: "I decided to try out the new Recraft V4.1 Flash model for a new OC I've been working on, and again, I am impressed. As usual, I left my prompt detailed for the points I HAD to have, and let the model infer the rest, and I'm quite pleased with the first four results. Not only is the model fast, but the features of the generated characters have a nice variety to them, striking (as I asked for) but not the usual "generically attractive" of a lot of other genAI models. As an added bonus, the perspective and angles used are less generic, really leaning into the fashion photography esthetic I asked it for. Again, the full prompt will be in the first reply below ⬇️ Generated on @openart_ai"
