Say what the character carries. Props tell the story.

What you will get

Full-body concept art of your character, with detailed engraved armour or clothing, a dynamic pose, a misty setting, rich colours and strong rim light, in a painterly style.

Why it works

Game concept art shows a full character so the outfit can be built later, which is why the prompt asks for full body, a dynamic pose and detailed engravings. Strong rim light separates the figure from the setting. The props the character carries, as the tip says, tell the viewer who they are.

Common mistake

The props are missing or wrong.

Fix: Name each item the character carries, as the tip says, such as a silver bow, a quiver and a leather satchel.

Also watch for

The pose is stiff. Describe the action, such as stepping forward with one foot on a rock, to give it movement.
Hands and weapons are distorted. Keep the weapon simple, check the fingers, and generate again or fix them in an editor.

Try a variation: make a villain version

Ask for a dark counterpart in the same style, with jagged armour, a cold colour palette and harsher lighting.
