DreamUp by DeviantArt Product Information

DeviantArt DreamUp is an AI-powered image generator integrated with the DeviantArt ecosystem. It enables users to generate high-quality art from text prompts, offering styles like anime, photorealistic, low-poly, vaporwave, line art, and more. Users can create up to 30 images for free with 10 prompts per week, join a large AI art community, and publish or submit generated art to DeviantArt. The tool emphasizes user control over style, prompt refinement, and attribution, with options to opt out of using your style for other creations. DreamUp leverages third-party technology (Stable Diffusion) and provides guidance on prompt crafting, background selection, mood, and variations to help users realize their vision.

How DreamUp Works

  • You control the output by detailing the subject, genre, mood, background, and style in your prompts.
  • You can create variations, rerun prompts, and refine results for closer alignment with your vision.

Prompt Crafting Tips

  • Start with the subject and add genre or style (e.g., portrait photo, 3D, watercolor).
  • Include mood keywords (cute, dreamy, sinister) and specify a background.
  • Be explicit to avoid misinterpretation (e.g., woman holding a baseball bat).
  • Use variations and re-run prompts to explore different iterations.

Safety and Content Guidelines

  • No pornographic or obscene content, no hateful or violent imagery, no personal data.
  • When referencing artists, provide proper attribution in DeviantArt submissions.
