Same subject, with and without it

Each pair is the same sentence on the same model. The left frame has no style; the right one is Stained Glass. That gap is what the style adds.

About Stained Glass

Stained Glass rebuilds your subject as a window of colored glass: jewel-toned panes of ruby, sapphire, emerald and amber, bold dark lead lines holding every piece together, and sunlight glowing through from behind so the colors burn. Faint bubbles and ripples in the glass keep it handmade, and the design stays balanced and radiant, like a window you would stop to look at.

You write the subject; the style supplies the glass. It is at its best with clear, iconic shapes: a lighthouse throwing its beam over the sea, a cat curled among flowers, a heron in reeds, someone reading beneath an arched window. The style keeps the outfit and details you wrote, translated into panes of glass.

Use it for posters and prints, book and album covers, fantasy illustrations, window-film and glass designs, home decor and seasonal cards. For gilded cards with ornate borders, use Tarot Gilt; for the chalky texture of old walls, Fresco Dust; for sleek geometric night scenes, Deco Nocturne.

For this composition, we recommend 2:3, with 3:4 as another framing option. This style is text-to-image only: on uploaded photos, the models we tested kept the photo and simply added a window behind it, so describe your subject in words instead. Landscapes, pets and flowers are especially beautiful in glass.

Subjects to paste as they are: “a lighthouse on a cliff with waves below and a full moon”, “a heron standing among tall reeds and water lilies”, “a woman in a flowing green dress holding a basket of lemons”. Bold, simple shapes give the lead lines something to follow.

Finishes that work on top: Golden Hour for warm sunset light pouring through the glass.

Tips that make it land

  • Keep the subject bold and simple. Every shape becomes a pane of glass, and tiny details get lost between lead lines.
  • Name a color scheme: “in ruby and gold”, “in deep blues and greens”. Glass looks richest with two or three main colors.
  • Nature is a natural fit: birds, flowers, trees, the sea and the moon all have the curves the lead lines love.
  • The style keeps the scene secular. If a model adds a halo you did not ask for, run it again.
  • Tall frames suit the window shape; square works well for round rose-window designs.

The prompt it sends

Your sentence goes where {subject} sits. Everything around it is the style. Nothing is hidden, and we never filter your prompt.
