Have you ever struggled with achieving a matte skin texture in your NovelAI art? You’re not alone! I’ve been there too, and I’ve learned a thing or two about how to get rid of glossy skin in your artwork.
The secret lies in the prompt. Yes, you read that right – the prompt! It’s all about using the right keywords to get the desired effect. In this case, we want a matte skin texture, which means we need to focus on reducing contrast and sharpness while adding more shadow and contour.
Take a look at this example prompt: ‘1girl, {artstyle: 2025 aroma sensei }, very low contour, {{very dark}}, very high sharpness, {{low contrast}}, photorealistic, super shadow, realistic, matte skin, {{{{matte skin texture}}}}, bad shadow, {{no light}}, {{no gloss}}, disappearance outline.’
Notice how we’re using keywords like ‘matte skin’, ‘low contrast’, and ‘no gloss’ to achieve a more realistic, non-glossy skin texture. By tweaking these settings and experimenting with different art styles, you can achieve the perfect matte skin look for your NovelAI art.
So, what are you waiting for? Give it a try and see the difference for yourself!
