GPT Image
Full sentences. Describe the scene, then the medium, then the flaws you want kept in.
The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the highlighted part of the prompt changes.
A dark painted seascape where the storm and the creature are the same thing: enormous tentacles rising out of a black sea and dissolving upward into low cloud, lit faintly from behind so only their edges catch the light. Low horizon, chopped grey water, any vessel present small enough to be almost missed. Painterly, atmospheric, more dread than spectacle.
