Whether you are trying generative art or looking for a visual reference to the many available styles, here is a collection of more than 250 images to help you get started.

Like you, I wanted to experiment with the possibilities of generative art but needed to figure out where to begin. Not only are there many tools to choose from, but the styles you can use are exquisitely overwhelming! So, after choosing the tool, I built a visual catalog of all the options I was experimenting with.

Tool Selection: StarryAI

How do you choose the right one among the many available?! I decided to base the selection on a few simple criteria, which are:

  • High-quality tool,
  • It lets you create your style,
  • You can experiment for “free” while learning,
  • And you own the copyright of the creations.

After researching what was out there, I landed on StarryAI. StarryAi met all my criteria. Plus, it is easy to use, and the mobile app is available for iOS and Android. I particularly appreciate their unlimited five FREE daily credits, which allow you to accumulate credits forever! Each credit generates four images, and thanks to this option, I spent the first 250 free credits exploring all the styles under Illustrations in 3D. And this is my way of giving back the favor🙏🏼.

Styles Options

In StarryAI, there are four main categories:

  • Art
  • Photos
  • Illustrations (the one I chose)
  • And make your own.
StarryAI main categories

Each category comes with its primary styles. Which initially were (and more are being added):

  • Lyra, Fantasy, Cyberpunk — under Art
  • Cinematic, Sci-Fi, Photography — Photos
  • Detailed, 3D, Flat — Illustrations
Primary styles under each category

Within all these, the Prompt Builder offers 250 additional prompts that can be combined in any number. These are:

  1. Featured Recipes (12 options)
  2. Descriptive Terms (64)
  3. In the style of (80)
  4. Medium (36)
  5. Movements (35)
  6. Community & Tools (24)
Prompt Builder additional groups of styles

Given the many options and possible combinations, I decided to start experimenting with the Illustrations category and default to the 3D style. After that, I switched each one of the 250 additional prompts and captured the results.

In summary, these are the criteria I used:

  • Category: Illustrations
  • Style: 3D
  • Text Prompt: “Cute Little Baby In A Nest Of Cotton Flock”
  • Prompt Builder: each of the 250
