Sometimes, one little word changes everything.
Here’s how swapping out verbs in your prompt can shape totally different results, even with the same subject and material.
If we use the following structure, you can get a wide variety of images.
[object] [verb] in [material]
Examples:
- A horse painted in gold
- A horse gilded in gold
- A horse dripping in gold
- A horse forged from gold
- A horse wrapped in gold thread
Each one shifts the tone, the texture, even the genre. (Is it surreal? Abstract? Regal? Weirdly edible? )
Pick a simple subject (horse, bird, violin, toaster—you do you)
Pick a material (crystal, fire, candy, chrome, lace, obsidian…)
Then swap out the verb and see what happens!
