Scumbling AI Art Prompts
19 AI image style prompts built on scumbling. 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.
18 of them also have a model-neutral version with artist names removed, for hosted models that refuse them.
