Haunting Shadows in a Stormy Landscape

• Model: DaVinci2

• Size: 1920 X 1080 (2.07 MP)

• Used settings:

  • Prompt: "Surreal, tempestuous nightscape channeling the dark whimsy of Jacek Yerka, the haunting fluidity of James R. Eads, the eerie delicacy of Nicoletta Ceccoli, and the gothic surrealism of Mark Ryden. A storm rages under a brooding sky thick with roiling charcoal clouds, their edges torn by jagged veins of electric-white lightning. The landscape is a chaotic dreamscape: twisted, leafless trees with skeletal branches claw upward like bass-relief carvings, their bark etched in ink-black line art. A ghostly teal river swirls violently below, its surface fractured by impasto waves sculpted in acrylic to mimic thrashing foam. The foreground glows with eerie bioluminescence—fungi and cracked lanterns emit sickly lilac and sulfur-yellow light, illuminating floating debris: a fractured clock tower, a teacup spilling rain, and a lone umbrella upturned like a dying flower. Lightning strikes in fractal patterns, rendered in stark white charcoal against the storm, while ink-wash rain slashes diagonally across the scene. Textures dominate: Clouds: Thick, swirling impasto layers of Payne’s gray and indigo, scratched with palette knives to reveal underlayers of ghostly cream. Ground: Cracked earth mixed with gritty sand medium, embedded with shattered glass-like shards of metallic teal and rusted orange. Lightning: Glowing neon-white line art, edged with faint halos of acid-yellow. A lone figure (styled in Ceccoli’s doll-like eeriness) stands in the storm, their tattered cloak billowing like smoke, face obscured save for glowing cobalt eyes. Above, the moon is a fractured porcelain disc, its cracks leaking silvery liquid that blends with the rain.

Cloaked Figure in the Enchanted Forest

• Model: Artflow

• Size: 1080 X 1920 (2.07 MP)

• Used settings:

  • Prompt: A mesmerizing, semi-realistic anime-style illustration depicting a shadowy figure cloaked in flowing black, standing amidst a rain-soaked, eerie forest. The figure’s wide-brimmed hat adds to their mysterious silhouette, with its edges dripping rainwater that gleams faintly under the diffuse light filtering through the dense, stormy canopy. Their form merges seamlessly with the surrounding gloom, embodying the essence of a guardian shrouded in secrecy. The scene is alive with movement and sound: rain cascades steadily from the twisted, ancient branches overhead, forming rivulets that snake along the forest floor and pool in reflective puddles. Around the figure, a murder of crows flutters and caws, their sharp cries piercing through the thick, damp air. Feathers glisten like obsidian, some caught mid-flight, while others cling to the gnarled branches or perch solemnly at the figure’s side. The forest itself feels alive, its gnarled trees towering and oppressive, their branches tangled like skeletal arms. Mist weaves through the undergrowth, wrapping the landscape in an ethereal veil, while shadows shift and ripple with an almost sentient energy. The interplay of light and darkness creates a hauntingly beautiful visual tapestry, with occasional flashes of movement—a crow’s wing cutting through the fog or raindrops splashing against the figure’s cloak. The figure exudes an undeniable aura of death and guardianship, as if they hold dominion over this foreboding realm. Their enigmatic presence is both terrifying and awe-inspiring, drawing the viewer into a world where nature and the supernatural collide. This composition captures a perfect blend of mystery, power, and haunting beauty.

• Used settings:

  • Prompt: An enchanting, surreal scene featuring two large, ancient trees with bare, twisted branches. The trees stand close together, and their branches intertwine forming a striking visual illusion of a man and a woman faces woven from branches leaning towards each other, as if trying to touch their lips together. The intricate, leafless branches stretch out like delicate lines, shaping the contours of their faces in profile. Behind this captivating natural sculpture, the sky glows with the colors of a setting sun, transitioning from deep blue at the top, through golden yellow, and finally into a vibrant, glowing red near the horizon, evoking a sense of dusk. The serene yet mysterious atmosphere enhances the ethereal beauty of the scene, blending nature and emotion into a mesmerizing visual illusion. surrealism, oil on canvas by El Greco, Botticelli, Magritte, Hugo Simberg

Mystery in the Foggy Forest Shadows

• Model: AIVision

• Size: 1024 X 1024 (1.05 MP)

• Used settings:

  • Prompt: Figure shrouded in mystery, draped in tattered, dark attire, with hood up and face obscured, stands at the edge of a twisted, gnarled forest, set against a haunting backdrop of skeletal tree branches that seem to grasp towards them like bony fingers. Shot from a low-angle perspective, the camera gazes upwards, amplifying the sense of foreboding, as if the figure is being summoned by some unseen force. Moody chiaroscuro accentuates the interplay of light and shadow, with heavy, dark shadows enveloping the scene, punctuated by eerie, blue-tinged backlight that casts an otherworldly glow on the mist-shrouded atmosphere. Dark, muted earth tones dominate the palette, with bursts of unnatural blue illuminating the swirling, gothic mist that clings to the base of the trees, imbuing the scene with an air of malevolent presence. Inspired by the haunting, dark fantasy realms of Gustave Doré and Greg Rutkowski, and the cinematic lighting of Bill Henson, the image is rendered in a high contrast, low-key style, with subtle grain and masterful composition, heightening the sense of mystery and eerie ambiance.
