#### **Part 1: Core Concept & Subject**
*(This sets the main scene. It is the most critical part.)*
`An epic, cinematic, wide-angle concept art masterpiece of [Castle’s Name or Descriptor, e.g., the Obsidian Spire, the Crystalline Citadel of Aethel], a magnificent floating castle.

#### **Part 2: Portal & Teleportation FX (VEO 3 Details)**
*(This is where you define the specific look and feel of the teleportation effect.)*
`The portal’s event horizon is a [Portal Shape, e.g., perfect shimmering circle, an ornate archway, a chaotic tear in reality] that warps spacetime around it. It is not a flat image, but a deep, swirling vortex of [Primary Energy Type, e.g., liquid starlight, raw arcane energy, condensed nebular gas, molten temporal energy]. Erupting from the gate are [Primary FX Element, e.g., massive, volumetric god-rays of pure light, tendrils of crackling lightning, swirling rings of cosmic dust]. The teleportation generates a powerful shockwave, causing [Secondary Particle Effect, e.g., shimmering motes of aether, dissolving crystalline shards, floating embers of magic, fractal light patterns] to fill the air. The very fabric of reality appears to bend and distort with visible [Distortion Effect, e.g., gravitational lensing, heat-haze ripples, chromatic aberration] around the portal’s edge.`

#### **Part 3: Castle Architecture & Materiality**
*(Describe the castle itself to give it character and context.)*
`The castle’s architecture is a stunning example of [Architectural Style, e.g., high-gothic elven design, impossible non-Euclidean geometry, baroque grandeur with organic, flowing lines, brutalist dwarven stonework]. It is constructed primarily from [Primary Castle Material, e.g., polished obsidian that reflects the portal’s light, living, self-illuminating pearlescent crystal, ancient moss-covered stone bound by giant roots, gleaming white marble veined with gold]. A unique feature of the castle is its [Unique Feature, e.g., glowing waterfalls of pure magic cascading from the floating islands, enormous celestial orreries rotating slowly around the main spire, vast bioluminescent gardens clinging to its underside].`

#### **Part 4: Environment & Atmosphere**
*(Where is this castle, and what is the mood?)*
`The castle floats majestically within [Sky/Background Element, e.g., the heart of a vibrant cosmic nebula, a stormy sky above a churning ocean, the tranquil void between worlds, a sunset sky with two moons]. The scene is set during a [Time of Day/Cosmic Event, e.g., perpetual twilight, a solar flare event, the alignment of celestial bodies, a magical aurora]. The atmosphere is thick with [Weather/Atmospheric Phenomenon, e.g., wisps of iridescent clouds, a gentle rain of falling stardust, swirling magical mists, spectral energy currents].`

#### **Part 5: Color Palette & Lighting**
*(This critically controls the emotion and focus of the image.)*
`The dominant color palette is a rich blend of [Primary Color, e.g., deep celestial blues], [Secondary Color, e.g., luminous electric purples], and [Accent Color, e.g., shimmering gold highlights]. The lighting is defined by [Lighting Style, e.g., dramatic chiaroscuro], with the portal serving as the primary, brilliant light source. This creates [Specific Light Effect, e.g., long, dramatic shadows, soft ethereal rim lighting on the castle’s spires, complex caustic reflections on nearby surfaces].`
—
#### **Part 6: Composition & Artistic Style**
*(Define the shot and the artistic influences to guide the AI’s “hand”.)*
`The composition is a [Camera Angle and Shot Type, e.g., dynamic low-angle shot, epic extreme long shot, dramatic aerial view]. The style is a fusion of [Primary Artist/Studio Style, e.g., the grand-scale environmental art of Studio Ghibli, the intricate detail of Syd Mead’s futurism, the dark fantasy mood of Zdzisław Beksiński] and [Secondary Artistic Influence, e.g., the aesthetics of the game Elden Ring, the painterly skies of J.M.W. Turner, the clean lines of Art Nouveau]. The final image should have the quality of a [Rendering Style, e.g., hyper-detailed cinematic VFX render, an oil painting masterpiece, a digital matte painting]. Insanely detailed, intricate, hyper-realistic, 8K, cinematic post-processing.`
