The prompt
${subject} rendered in harsh, angular World of Darkness comic-book linework. Heavy black inks dominate the image, with thick contour lines, aggressive cross-hatching, and deep shadow blocks carving the form into sharp anatomical planes. Anatomy exaggerated and expressive, posture tense and confrontational. Surfaces broken into stark light-versus-dark geometry. Background abstracted or urban-gothic, fragmented and oppressive. Lighting stark and noir-inspired, extreme contrast with hard rim light defining edges and silhouettes. Composition tight and intimate, low or confrontational camera angle. Overall tone: modern gothic horror, raw, feral, and spiritually charged.

Which AI model works best

These prompts are written for image-generation models (Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, DALL-E 3, Flux) — not chat LLMs. Copy them into your image tool. Midjourney v7 excels at photorealistic portraits; Stable Diffusion 3.5 is the best for fine-tuning and custom checkpoints; DALL-E 3 integrates seamlessly with ChatGPT.

How to customize this prompt

Keep the style descriptors and lighting keywords — these are what make the output consistent. Change the subject, background, and pose freely. Add or remove quality modifiers like "hyper-detailed", "cinematic lighting", "35mm film". For Stable Diffusion, use weight syntax: (keyword:1.3) to emphasize.
