Prompt showcase
The prompts behind these
Prompt
A crowded night market in the rain, seen from a wide angle. Paper lanterns glow over food stalls, steam rises from woks, people walk under umbrellas, and the wet stone street reflects every light.
Prompt
A vintage travel poster for a seaside town, with the words "HARBOR LIGHTS" in bold art deco letters across the top. A red and white lighthouse at dusk, sailboats on calm water, a warm orange and teal sky, clean flat shapes.
Prompt
Close-up portrait of an elderly fisherman with a weathered face, a gray beard and a navy knit cap, looking just past the camera. Soft overcast light from a window, shallow depth of field, shot on an 85mm lens.
Prompt
A watercolor storybook illustration of a small fox in a red scarf reading a book under an oak tree, autumn leaves drifting down, soft paper texture, warm gentle colors.
