Full sentences. Describe the scene, then the medium, then the flaws you want kept in.

The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the prompt updates.

Prompt

An isometric diorama of a single city block, presented as a floating object with a clean cut earth base. True isometric projection with no perspective convergence, soft even lighting with gentle ambient occlusion, a restrained palette of warm stone, sage green and dusty blue. Small details: a corner shop awning, two parked cars, three trees, a figure on a bicycle. Plain off white background, soft contact shadow.

Tips

  • 1Say true isometric with no perspective convergence or you get a three quarter view.
  • 2A cut base turns a scene into an object, which is the whole appeal.
  • 3List three or four small details. More than that and the block gets noisy.
