Best use cases

Generate a highly cohesive set of 12 zodiac illustrations using an image-to-image workflow. The visual style presents a warm and cute Japanese colored-pencil, watercolor, or picture-book aesthetic. It is highly suitable for Xiaohongshu/Instagram covers and other scenarios where quick output is required. The target audience is social media creators. The core value is not just piling up style keywords, but solving the pain point of 'having a creative theme but not knowing how to consistently generate a complete series': lock down the main subject and layout first, then swap out variable information, making a single template work for multiple content topics.

Visual style

The style of 'Twelve Zodiac Signs Hand-Drawn Illustration Grid' is cute Q-version watercolor. When analyzing the image, prioritize texture, character pose, and framing, followed by the relationship between the group, character, and background. Negative space, hierarchy, and colors exist solely to support this primary relationship. The final result looks like a finished product that can be used directly for social media covers, rather than just a style experiment.

How to generate a new image

1. 1Copy the full 'Twelve Zodiac Signs Hand-Drawn Illustration Grid' prompt, keeping the style, subject, composition, texture, lighting, and aspect ratio descriptions.
2. 2Change only the theme or main subject first, while keeping the style, texture, and lighting descriptions unchanged.
3. 3Generate 2-4 images in GPT-image-2 or your preferred image generation tool using default parameters, choosing aspect ratios like 1:1, 4:5, 16:9, or 9:16 based on your publishing platform.
4. 4Compare against the target illustration visual: check if the subject is clear, if the information hierarchy is legible, and if the colors and style match the reference.
5. 5If it drifts from expectations, first reduce background noise, then reinforce the core style keywords or adjust the ratio, avoiding changing too many variables at once.

Model and parameter tips

• GPT-image-2：Excellent for Chinese language comprehension, text typography, and complex visual relationships. When generating illustrations, directly describe the subject, aspect ratio, and usage.
• Midjourney：Great for strengthening style, mood, and composition references. Aspect ratio parameters can be appended, but Chinese text rendering stability may fluctuate.
• FLUX：Ideal for clean subjects, photographic textures, and precise graphic structures. Use natural language descriptions and avoid platform-unrecognized command-style parameters.

How to improve weak results

• If the main subject in the 'Twelve Zodiac Signs Hand-Drawn Illustration Grid' is not prominent, add keywords like 'centered main visual', 'clean outline', 'ample negative space', or directly name the core object of the illustration.
• If the style drifts, appending 'core style', 'high-contrast hierarchy', 'defined texture' is more effective than just adding emotional/adjective words.
• If the composition feels cluttered, remove background details, edge notes, decorative symbols, and subtitles first, leaving only the most critical layer of information.
• If the colors are off, describe the main color, background color, light/dark contrast, and saturation, rather than just using abstract terms like 'premium look' or 'atmospheric feel'.
• If the platform aspect ratio is incorrect, change it to 1:1, 4:5, 16:9, or 9:16, while reducing the density of small text accordingly.
