Prompt:
A surreal dark fantasy scene with a strong kafkaesque mood: distorted Montpellier fishermen houses bending into impossible angles, elongated rooftops leaning over narrow canals filled with glossy black water. Winter mist creeps across the ground, creating eerie depth and ghostly silhouettes.
Psychedelic HDR reflections twist unnaturally on the water’s surface, like liquid mirrors from another dimension. The entire environment feels unsettling yet hauntingly beautiful — an eldritch atmosphere where architecture seems alive.
Watercolor textures bleed gently into one another, blending icy blues, ink blacks, and muted ochres. Fine linework and shadow patterns reference the styles of Junji Ito and Edward Gorey; stylized character shapes and naïve charm nod to Dee Nickerson; stark angular compositions evoke Bernard Buffet; soft dreamlike color fields reflect Xuan Loc Xuan.
The result is a surreal, uncanny, painterly world: winter cold, quiet dread, distorted beauty, and hypnotic atmospheric tension. High detail, expressive textures, dark fantasy surrealism, cinematic composition, deeply atmospheric.
