Gothic Prompt Builder overview
The Gothic Prompt Builder is structured into three main sections: Object,Style, and Parameters. Simply select your desired options or personalize your creations by adding specific objects, details, or colors in the provided text fields. Your choices will instantly generate a tailored prompt in the Result Prompt cell.
With the PRO version, your creative possibilities expand exponentially. The “Enhance with ChatGPT” feature offers limitless prompt variations, fine-tuned for tools like Dall-E, Leonardo, Ideogram, and Flux, or even for crafting market-ready prompts. Additional PRO perks include advanced dropdowns like Style Details, Color Presets, and extended Parameters for unparalleled customization.
The default digital product is set to “illustration,” with the word "Gothic" added at the start of every prompt, ensuring an unmistakably eerie and gothic ambiance in all your designs. For tips and inspiration, check out Instructions and Visual Examples sheets. For a complete walkthrough of features and dropdown options, be sure to watch the video guide.

Visual Examples
This section offers a quick and intuitive way to preview outcomes based on Preset selections, explore the Themes, Digital Products, and Art Styles included in the Gothic Prompt Builder. The styles are grouped into three categories: generic styles like gouache or acrylic paint, cartoonish styles such as Classic Disney or Chibi, and artistic styles like folk art or encaustic. You’ll also find starter prompts designed to inspire your creativity and help you bring your gothic visions to life. For the best experience while starting with the prompt builder, we highly recommend watching the new "Let's create something together" section in the video guide.

(Other text-to-image AI generators’ outcomes)
While this guide and prompt builder itself are tailored for Midjourney, we’ve also tested the Gothic Prompt Builder with other text-to-image AI tools, including Leonardo, Dall-E, Flux, and Ideogram (for detailed compatibility insights, visit the Q&A section ). For gothic-themed images, Midjourney excels with its diverse art styles and captivating, atmospheric illustrations. Here's how the other platforms performed with gothic prompts:
- Dall-E: Generates varied results, excelling in anime and chibi-inspired styles.
- Leonardo: Shines with its Anime and Concept Art models, delivering rich cartoon-like images.
- Flux.1: Creates clean, vector-style images with high contrast, still often too polished and cheerful for a true gothic aesthetic.
- Ideogram: Struggles with gothic prompts, producing images that, while eerie, often feel overly artificial and lack depth.
Improving Results Across Platforms
For enhanced results on these platforms, use the "Enhance with ChatGPT" button (available in the PRO version). This feature refines prompts to deliver more intricate and thematically compatible images across Dall-E, Ideogram, Leonardo, and Flux. Every image featured in this section was created using enhanced prompts for optimal results.
