**(Copy and paste this entire block into your AI platform’s prompt field)**

`Cinematic, photorealistic VFX shot of a swirling sandstorm enveloping a colossal forgotten statue amidst the skeletal remains of a lost city, captured in a moment of dramatic, elemental fury. The statue, depicting a warrior queen in a defiant pose, is crafted from oxidized green bronze. It is partially buried up to its torso in shifting dunes, with deep cracks running across its face clearly visible even through the storm. The sandstorm is not a uniform cloud; it is a dynamic force. Tendrils of sand whip and curl around the statue’s base. The air is thick with fine, shimmering dust particles, catching the light and creating a sense of deep, atmospheric haze. Wind direction is powerfully evident, with sand scouring one side of the ruins more than the other. The lighting is dramatic and harsh from a low, setting sun, casting long, stark shadows that stretch across the dunes. The overall color palette is dominated by a dramatic contrast of deep orange light and cool blue shadows, creating a mood that is both epic and melancholy. This is a dramatic wide shot captured from a low angle, looking up to emphasize scale and power. The composition uses strong leading lines formed by sand dunes to draw the eye towards the statue. The shot is rendered with a wide-angle 24mm lens, giving it a slight barrel distortion to enhance the epic feel. Hyperrealistic, cinematic film still, Unreal Engine 5 render, Octane render, VFX, CGI, masterpiece, 8K, high resolution, intricate detail, texture, professional color grading, volumetric lighting, god rays, atmospheric perspective, motion blur on fast-moving sand particles.`

**Negative Prompt for the Example:**

`Blurry, low resolution, cartoon, anime, illustration, painting, watermark, signature, text, ugly, deformed, distorted, disfigured statue, oversaturated, unrealistic colors, peaceful, calm, clear sky, no wind.`
