Distressed Texture AI Art Prompts
23 AI image style prompts built on distressed texture. Each is a reusable style block with a sample image: paste it into Midjourney, Flux, Stable Diffusion, GPT Image or any text-to-image model, then add your own subject at the end.
21 of them also have a model-neutral version with artist names removed, for hosted models that refuse them.
