Why This Prompt Works
The prompt combines specific technical requests ('8k ultra-realistic', 'high contrast') with strong stylistic keywords ('cinematic', 'moody lighting', 'black-and-white') that AI models recognize. It clearly layers the subject, the supernatural smoke entity, and the background, giving the AI a structured scene to build. Keywords like 'swirling black smoke' and 'glowing white eyes' provide clear visual anchors for the generator.
Prompt Variations
- Change 'ghost-themed background' to 'abandoned mansion hallway' or 'foggy graveyard' for a stronger setting.
- Try 'blue or green glowing eyes' instead of white for a different eerie effect.
- Replace 'standing confidently' with 'crouching defensively' or 'floating ethereally' for a different pose.
- Swap 'black and white' for 'desaturated color with a single accent color' on the eyes.
- Change the entity from 'smoke' to 'ethereal wisps', 'crackling energy', or 'tendrils of darkness'.
