Creating These Styles Is All about crafting the right prompt. just describe the look you are going for and mention colour palettes and composition and textures ai can take care of rest.
To create Ghibli-style art images, we first need to use an AI image generator, such as DALL·E (available for Pro users on ChatGPT), MidJourney, or Leonardo.AI. The main input we use on these platforms is a text prompt called a “prompt”. With ChatGPT, you can create a good prompt that fits a specific scene, character, or atmosphere in the Ghibli style you want. For example, you can design a prompt like “A Ghibli-style village morning, covered in fog, with small houses, green fields, and a beautiful natural background.”
If you paste this prompt into your favorite AI tool, it will create a Ghibli-style art image based on it. It is good to use words like “nostalgic”, “hand-drawn look”, “warm color palette”, “anime aesthetic”, “inspired by Hayao Miyazaki” in the prompts, following the Ghibli style. This way you can transform your imagination into a Ghibli world — a world full of imagination, filled with memories, that can be printed.
