Intro post

Hi, I'm Tad! Back in 2019, I made an Android app full of original ideas for artists. The app got pretty popular, but because I didn't have the time to keep working on it, Google eventually took it down from the Play store for a lack of frequent updates. Since the end of 2024, I've been working on a revamped web version of the app, and I just finally released it! I'm going to be posting some prompts from there on this blog to hopefully reach more artists! The web is available at artprompts.app and includes over 2 000 prompts for free, all created by me or various community members (no AI used). It also includes several premium categories you can buy for €4.99 or €9.99 to get more prompts and support the project. Starting in 2026, I'm also adding a couple of new prompts a week, because there's still a lot of prompts that community members suggested that I haven't released yet. More about this on the Schedule page. Happy drawing!

[Image ID]: Screenshot of the homepage of the Art Prompts website. It includes a large centered text saying "Click the button to get your prompt." above a "New prompt" button. Under the button is a heading saying "Categories", and a grid of illustrations for individual prompt categories, including a steaming cup of tea labeled "All prompts", a meadow with a river labeled "Places", an orange dragon labeled "Fantasy", a person skiing labeled "People", and a frog on a leaf labeled "Animals". There is an additional row of category illustrations with their labels below the edge of the screenshot: a pair of skulls, a fish-shaped spaceship, the Medusa, and a close-up of a rendition of Jacques-Louis David's Napoleon Crossing the Alps.

I had the idea to curate prompt lists with prompts that feel appropriate to the vibe of each month, so I'm going to try posting those for the rest of the year! I also put together a few lists of prompts with a similar theme, so I'll be posting those on the 15th of each month.

Thank you to @awesome-saucer for helping me put these lists together!

To be clear, these are not new prompts, they are just a selection of already existing prompts from the database. Some of the prompts are from Premium categories, those are marked in orange (honestly mostly to visually break up the long lists a bit).
