Candle horror art, HALLOWEEN2024


Updated:

How reproduce my horror inspired candle art with more details.

Prompt Construction

To generate my image similar to the one that l posted, the prompt needs to be very descriptive, capturing not just the subject (the candle) but also the mood, textures, and elements that make it eerie and unsettling.

Base Prompt:

Primary Description: Start by describing the main subject: a candle made of screaming, human-like faces, melting in a horrifying way.

Example Prompt:

“A tall candle made from twisted, melting human faces, each one screaming in agony. The candle is dripping blood, with wax melting over a dark pedestal, in a dimly lit room. The faces are realistic, with hollow eyes and open mouths, giving off a haunting and eerie atmosphere. The candle is burning at the top, with a faint flame flickering.”

Additional Details for Depth:

To further capture the mood, you can add:

Lighting: "dim lighting with shadows casting an eerie glow."

Texture: "the candle has a grotesque, flesh-like texture, dripping with blood."

Background: "set against a dark, neutral background to emphasize the horror element."

Final Expanded Prompt:

“A horrific candle sculpted from screaming human faces, each melting as the wax drips down, with streaks of red blood flowing over a black pedestal. The candle is burning with a small flickering flame, casting an eerie light in a dark room. The faces are distorted in agony, with realistic features like open mouths, bulging eyes, and wax that resembles decaying flesh. The background is dark and shadowy, creating an ominous, creepy atmosphere.”

Key Parameter Settings

Next, fine-tune your parameters to guide the model in generating a vivid and cohesive image.

Parameter Recommendations:

Sampling Steps:

Use higher steps to ensure sharpness and detail. Faces, in particular, require careful detail to avoid distortion.

Recommended setting: 25 - 30 steps.

Guidance Scale/Strength:

To make sure the model adheres closely to your descriptive prompt and doesn’t deviate too much, set a high guidance scale.

Recommended setting: 10–15 for strict adherence to the horror prompt.

Resolution and Aspect Ratio:

Since this is a tall object (the candle), consider using a portrait aspect ratio.

Resolution: 1024x1792 (portrait mode)

Aspect ratio: 9:16 for a balanced, vertical structure.

Hopefully this will get you started in creating wonderful art.
