Incorporate specific lighting keywords like “rim lighting” or “soft box illumination” to further manipulate the mood of the surreal environment.
Use the –stylize command (e.g., –s 250) to balance the creative interpretation of the surreal elements against the hyper-realistic requirements.
Experiment with different camera lens focal lengths in the prompt to shift between wide-angle epic vistas and intimate macro-style focus.
Pair this prompt with an image reference using the –iw parameter to maintain specific color palettes or model poses across multiple generations.
