What you will get

A grid of six original cute monsters with different shapes, colours and expressions in your theme, with chunky rounded bodies, big eyes, tiny horns, fluffy details, bold outlines and flat colours with soft shading.

Why it works

Six monsters in one grid need to look different, so the prompt varies shapes, colours and expressions within one theme. Chunky bodies, big eyes and tiny horns keep them friendly. Giving each a name and personality, as the tip says, turns them into characters.

Common mistake

The monsters all look alike.

Fix: Give each monster a different body shape, colour and number of eyes, and list them one by one in the prompt.

Also watch for

Some look scary rather than cute. Add “friendly, rounded, no sharp teeth, no claws”, as in a kids’ book.
The grid has uneven cells. Say “a clean 3 by 2 grid, equal cells, each monster centred with space around it”.

Try a variation: named characters

Follow the tip and add “each with a name label in the grid, such as Blob, Fuzz and Zig”. Use the names in a story or game, and add the text yourself if the letters break.
