Leonardo.ai Prompts & Model Picks

Leonardo's edge is control: model choice, Elements, and negative prompts. These patterns pair a strong positive prompt with the negative prompt that keeps results clean.

Game Assets & Icons

  • game icon of [ITEM: potion bottle/sword/shield], stylized hand-painted look, vibrant colors, centered, dark simple background, high detail — Negative: text, watermark, blurry, cropped
  • isometric fantasy building, [TYPE: tavern/blacksmith/tower], warm window light, detailed stonework, game art style — Negative: people, text, photo-realism
  • sprite sheet style, [CREATURE] in 4 poses, consistent design, flat lighting, white background — Negative: shadows, background scenery

Consistent Characters

  • character reference sheet of [CHARACTER DESCRIPTION], front view and side view, neutral pose, flat lighting, plain background, concept art style — Negative: multiple characters, busy background
  • portrait of [SAME CHARACTER DESCRIPTION], now [NEW POSE/EMOTION/SCENE] — reuse the exact same descriptor phrase every generation; consistency comes from repeated wording plus the same model and seed.

Product & Marketing

  • commercial product photo of [PRODUCT], floating with dynamic splash of [LIQUID/ELEMENT], studio lighting, dark backdrop, advertising style — Negative: text, watermark, deformed
  • [PRODUCT] on marble surface with soft morning window light, minimal styling, premium lifestyle aesthetic — Negative: clutter, oversaturation

Concept Art & Environments

  • epic environment concept art, [SCENE DESCRIPTION], dramatic scale, volumetric light rays, matte painting quality — Negative: characters, text, frame
  • moody interior of [LOCATION], cinematic lighting, detailed props telling a story, unreal engine render style — Negative: people, blur, distortion

Tips for Better Results

  • Pick the model to match the job (Phoenix/photoreal vs stylized models) — the same prompt changes completely across models.
  • Always fill the negative prompt: "text, watermark, blurry, extra fingers, deformed" fixes half of all bad outputs.
  • For character consistency: identical descriptor phrase + same model + fixed seed.
  • Use Elements sliders at low strength first — stacking them high overcooks the style.
