One Prompt and 25 Styles with Tengr.ai

In today’s blog post, we’ll try to guide you through Tengr.ai’s diverse styling options. We’ll try to help you understand the specific characteristics of each of the 25 styles it currently offers, making them easier for you to use.

First, you should know that Tengr.ai expertly integrates tools from both photography and art. This includes settings like different lenses, lighting, and sharpness, that are seamlessly blended into the style options, for example: Photographer, Portraiture, Food, Car, and Landscape, as well as Analog. This makes it possible for you to create images that bring the quality of a professionally made photograph, even if you have no experience with photography or artistic creation.

On the other hand, for those of you who prefer images more on the artistic side, there are several styles to choose from, like Impasto, Water-Cute, Abstract-Ink, or Line Art. For more interesting creations you can select Abstract Pen or Stained Glass. However, if you’re aiming for a more professional image, you can find the Isometric and Logo style, which can be useful in various creative and professional projects. These are just a few, but we’ll discuss them all in this blog post.

Remember, trying them out is not just educational, but also incredibly fun. So, let’s start exploring!

Style Breakdowns:

Below, we will run the same prompt across all the styles to see how each one behaves. Our staple through this exploration will be the prompt: “a cute mouse wearing a blue denim and a red t-shirt”. We’ve set the Creativity and Details levels at 3, with an aspect ratio of 1:1. Therefore, this setup will help us clearly distinguish the unique traits of each style. Similarly, choosing a style in Tengr.ai is like a cat hunting for the perfect mouse. You’ll find yourself carefully exploring each option, trying to catch the one that perfectly captures your creative vision.

1. Default

This one can be useful if you are an expert prompter and would like to have more control over the style settings without any automatic styling applied. The default style uses the settings chosen by Tengr.ai to create a truthful representation based on the program’s standard parameters.

2. Portraiture

Just like its name suggests, this style is the ideal choice for generating realistic portraits. It puts the subject (person or animal) in the main focus to capture their unique characteristics. It works with blurred and muted background to draw the attention towards the face and the facial expressions.

Accordingly, in the image of our cute mouse, the mouse’s facial features and expression are emphasized, thus making it more relatable. The soft lighting and shadows also highlight the facial details, making it truly realistic. In contrast, the background is softened to ensure that the mouse is in the main focus of the picture.

3. Landscape

Landscape style captures scenes with natural lighting and wide scenic view, encompassing as much of the landscape as possible, in great detail. Therefore, it’s perfect for generating vistas, like mountains, forests, or urban skylines, streets. Moreover, it creates breathtaking landscapes that capture not only the visuals but also the atmosphere and emotions associated with them. Moreover, it focuses on presenting the beauty and vastness of natural environments.

Consequently, the mouse is presented in an extensive natural environment. The background is airy and impressive, highlighting the mouse with its vivid colors and small details.

4. Photographer

This can be a really amazing tool for creating high-quality images in the style of a professionally made photograph. Its versatility comes from the fact that it can capture a wide range of subjects, landscapes, still life or actions in a realistic way, just like a photographer would do.

As a result, we got a photographic-like effect, so the mouse appears life-like as if a photographer took the picture. The red shirt and blue jeans are vivid and realistic while the background is simple to draw the attention to the subject.

5. Analog

It’s like a journey through time, evoking the nostalgic feeling of past times. It uses muted color-palette, grains and softer focus (slight blur, to draw attention to the center of the image). Additionally, color toning variations (sepia, black and white, etc.) and lighting imperfections (lens flares) are often used to recreate the warmth and nostalgia of traditional vintage photography.

Accordingly, in this style, the mouse’s image reminds us of old photographs, appearing as if it’s from the past. The colors are less vivid, and the details are fine to help with the vintage look.

6. Car

Designed to mimic the setup of a professional car photography setting, this style ensures that the subject really stands out against their backdrop. It achieves this by using vibrant saturated colors, sharp details, really dramatic lighting, dynamic angles and well-placed highlights. All these can really emphasize the sleek and elegant design of luxury cars. The strength of this style comes from its ability to transform its subject (even if it’s not a car) into an extraordinary piece of art.

This photographic style of cars can also be observed in the mouse’s portrayal. It uses dynamic angle to make the mouse stand boldly. The smooth and shiny texture of the little mouse’s clothes also reminds us of the glossy finish and reflective surfaces a car would have. Notice how every little detail of the clothing and its fur are vividly and exceptionally captured, making the mouse stand out just like a luxury car would at an exhibition.

7. Food

Specifically crafted to create visually captivating images of food and beverages. It’s ideal for culinary photography. The main characteristics include: enhanced textures, vivid, saturated colors, high contrasts, as well as clarity and sharpness. These are making the image really eye-catching.

Applying it to our mouse resulted in an interesting and playful image. Firstly, the vivid coloring of its clothing draws the viewer’s attention to it like a beautifully plated dish. The playfulness comes from the fact that the mouse is placed on a slice of bread. Furthermore, the Food style added food elements like bread and tomatoes to the image as well. Additionally, the mouse is placed in the foreground, with blurred background, just like in the case of food photography in a culinary magazine. This is a good example for Tengr.ai’s resourcefulness, where experiencing with an unconventional application of a certain style can result in a surprisingly good and unique image.

8. Horror

The Horror style is crafted to give any image a dark and gloomy atmosphere. If a dramatic, suspenseful visual is what you’re looking for, this one is the best choice. It uses lots of shadows, de-saturated or dark tinted colors and visual elements that suggest horror. The deeper shadows and high contrasts also emphasize the dramatic vibe.

The characteristics mentioned are also obvious in the little mouse’s attire, which appears to be darker and less vivid in coloring. This gives a dark and mysterious vibe to the image. What more, the background also matches the visual somberness of the image.

9. Stained Glass

This one reminds us of the special effect of stained glass windows. It uses saturated colors, black outlines and sectioned design to simulate the appearance of painted glass pieces.

Consequently, this makes the image of the mouse more artistic. The boundaries of the mouse’s figure, its clothing and the background details are all outlined with dark lines. Also, the colors are vivid and illuminated similar to when light comes through a stained glass window. All these details are wonderfully capturing the stained glass effect we expected.

10. Impasto

Impasto is inspired by an actual painting technique where the paint is thickly laid on a surface, so that brushstrokes or palette knife marks are visible. This can give images depth and a layered texture. Every detail of an image created with Impasto, recalls the features of actual paintings.

For instance, the thick brush strokes give the mouse a textured look, almost like a three-dimensional effect. The colors are vivid and shiny, just like a real painting would catch the light. Ultimately, these details can elevate an ordinary image into an artistic creation, making it appear deeper and more meaningful.

11. Abstract Ink

This style creates a special effect similar to abstract art using ink splatters. Due to the unpredictability of the ink splatters, every image becomes dynamic and spontaneous. Just like the natural flow of ink, it creates lines and shapes without clear boundaries and colors merging into each other.

As a result, it also transformed the simple image of our little mouse into an abstract piece of art. Colors are less defined and blend into each other, they have no clear edges or delimitation. Also the ink splatters give the image an energetic feel, as if the mouse was captured in action.

12. Illustration

Designed to illustrate images in a visually appealing way, it’s ideal for illustrating books, advertisements or any other visual materials. It uses well-defined, clear lines and bright colors to make the images visually captivating.

As a result, this style transformed the image of the cute little mouse into a charming illustration. The colors are vivid and contrasting, with details that are well separated and defined, making it not just eye-catching, but also easy to interpret.

13. Water-Cute

Water-Cute imitates the use of watercolors in images. It uses soft colors, mimicking the blending of pigments when water is added, resulting in translucency and lightness. There are no harsh lines and the textures are fluid.

Consequently, this style transformed the image of our mouse into a soft and charming, playful artwork. It is delicate and almost dream-like, reminding us of our childhood.

14. Sphericute

This one creates adorable, rounded characters making them cartoon-like and friendly. It uses bright and cheerful colors, making every image charming. The use of rounded shapes is what mostly characterizes this style. It focuses on exaggerating key details like the eyes and the joyful facial features. Thus, it can really make every character cute, friendly and likeable, making it ideal for children’s illustrations or animations.

In the case of our mouse, the colors are soft and sweet, and the shapes are rounded, making the little mouse even cuter than it was.

15. Fairytale

The Fairytale style can really bring a magical fantasy world to life. It evokes the dreamy world of storybooks by using rich, saturated colors, and incorporating whimsical elements into the image as well. Also, it creates otherworldly backgrounds and intricate, visually captivating details to enhance the dreamlike quality of images. Thus, these traits make it perfect for when you want to transform your image into an extraordinary one, filled with magic and charm.

It also transformed our mouse in casual clothing, into a whimsical character. The colors are bright and enriched, and even its clothing is enhanced with some playfulness, adding to the magical vibe of the image.

16. Isometric

It can be really useful in architectural renderings that can offer a clearer view of building or room layouts. What’s more, it can give you a comprehensive view of basically anything. It uses flat, uniform lighting, avoiding shadows and highlights for clear visibility. However, its most useful characteristic is that it can give your images a 3D look, making them really stand out. Furthermore, it enhances the depth and clarity of images, so it can be used in architectural designs, educational material, gaming graphics or any project that requires detailed visualization.

The previously mentioned characteristics of Isometric style are also visible in the mouse’s portrayal (in this case, particularly noticeable around the ears). The colors and details are sharp and well-defined. The lighting is uniform.

17. Logo

With its sharp, clean, simple design, can be really useful in brand creating projects. It makes the process of logo creation a lot easier and more fun by creating versatile and memorable logos.

For example, this style provides a uniform and clean appearance for the mouse’s image, suitable for creating logos. The colors are simple and contrasting, and the details are clear and well defined.

18. Line art

Line Art highlights the simple elegance of pencil drawings by using smooth lines and minimalist style. It produces clear contours and shapes, removing the complex colors, shadings and textures. However, this simplicity is what makes it truly versatile and applicable in many different platforms.

For instance, it recreates the lines of pencil drawings, making the mouse’s image simple, yet clearly detailed and elegant. The colors are minimal, and the lines emphasize the mouse’s contours and small details, like the whiskers.

19. Abstract Pen

Abstract Pen uses pen-like strokes to create abstract artworks with intricate detailing, as well as dynamic lines and shapes. It creates a sense of motion through the swirling, curvy, abstract lines. It’s mainly focused on line work, but it often uses a bold color palette to make an impact. It is not about the realistic illustration of things, but rather an abstracted interpretation of them. This makes it a really innovative, modern tool.

Abstract Pen adds special waves and curves to the mouse’s image, creating a unique and dynamic effect. The red of the t-shirt and the blue of the denim are bold, and the shapes are abstracted and energetic, making it a striking piece of art.

20. Aquarelle

Aquarelle style can be seen as the more artistic and complex version of the Water-Cute style. They both use the well-known watercolor painting technique but each one has its own style of portraying things. While Water-Cute is playful and whimsical, Aquarelle creates more complex and detailed images.

Aquarelle mostly uses soft, muted colors and fluid, translucent textures, typical for the watercolor technique. Furthermore, it can give images a serene, soothing, almost nostalgic effect. These features make it ideal for landscapes, portraits, or even stunning abstract compositions.

As we can observe in the image of our mouse, this style created a beautifully detailed, artistic interpretation of our simple prompt. We see the previously mentioned muted colors, gently flowing into each other, with soft edges, and many intricate fine details added to it.

21. Machinart

This style draws its inspiration from the popular Steampunk style. It wonderfully combines the Victorian-era aesthetics with futuristic machinery. In images created with Machinart style, we see gears, screws, clocks, and other industrial elements. Also, it uses metallic textures and a dark color palette. All these produce a complex, highly detailed industrial look with retro-futuristic vibe.

It quickly became one of our favorite styles. It produces unexpected and stunning compositions, which makes it perfect for generating mechanical animals, intricately detailed industrial designs, or architectural elements. Moreover, it can give a unique appearance to any image, so we encourage you to experiment with it.

In this style, the background and also the mouse’s attire all got a mechanical, intricate Steampunk appearance.

22. Manga

We’re all familiar with the Japanese comic book art style called Manga. It became widely popular and beloved thanks to its unique characteristics, which include complex storylines, and specific portrayal of characters. Manga characters are recognizable from their large, very expressive eyes, exaggerated facial features that can be dramatic, and dynamic poses. The use of clean, bold lines and the high contrast illustration give images a dramatic feel. These make it ideal for illustrating graphic novels and comic books with vivid, expressive characters.

Tengr.ai’s Manga style captures these characteristics very well. In our mouse example, we see the typical big, expressive eyes, glowing with determination, the dynamic pose, and we even got a Japanese background.

23. InfinyPattern

Tengr.ai recently introduced three seamless, tileable pattern styles. One of them is InfinyPattern, which, as its name suggests, is perfect for creating decorative patterns. It’s ideal for fabric printing, wallpapers, or any kind of illustrative project that requires repeating motifs.

This particular style is designed for creating graphic, illustrative images with distinct, defined patterns, and vibrant colors.

You can see how it created a graphic representation of our mouse, repeated in a clear, defined pattern. I can imagine this pattern used in a fabric designed for children, or even as wallpaper for a children’s room.

24. InfinyWeave

InfinyWeave is another one of Tengr.ai’s seamless, tileable pattern styles, similar to InfinyPattern, and can be used for the same purposes. However, it has distinct characteristics that set it apart. For example, Infinyweave often produces images with more saturated colors, greater complexity, and finer details. It makes more natural-looking patterns, perfect for game backgrounds and textures. Also, it tends to generate more realistic, and less structured images. This makes it ideal for 3D model texturing and game design.

In our mouse example, it created a more realistically detailed mouse, with a more natural appearance, expression, and pose. Interestingly, it even changed the background to resemble denim, complementing the mouse’s attire.

25. InfinyFlow

Just like InfinyPattern and InfinyWeave, InfinyFlow also creates seamless, tileable patterns, but with focus on abstract, flowing shapes. This makes it perfect for abstract compositions. It is a great tool for creating eye-catching backgrounds, fabric print designs, wallpapers, and all kinds of visuals for various creative projects.

In our example, the mouse is blending into a flowing, abstract background, similar to waves. It creates a sense of movement, perfect for projects that need a continuous, uninterrupted flowing pattern.

Conclusion:

To sum up, today, we’ve tasted the colorful and diverse world of Tengr.ai, seeing how each of these 25 unique styles can bring its own ‘flavor’ to a simple image of a mouse in denim and a red tee. Whether you’re an experienced artist or a newcomer, Tengr.ai has the tools to help you transform even the simplest images into captivating artistic pieces.

As we’ve demonstrated it, each of the styles can give a different aesthetic visual to images, but not only that, it can even infuse the images with certain emotional tones, from the nostalgia of Analog to the whimsical feel of Fairytale. As for the pattern styles, each one has specific advantages, so take those into consideration when you select one of them, to get the best results for your specific projects.
