### **Optimized Dynamic AI Prompt for Stone Guardian Eye Glow VFX**
**Niche:** Ancient Protection
**Purpose:** Magical Awakening FX
**Prompt Type:** Dynamic
**Target Platforms:** All (Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, DALL-E 3, etc.)
—
### **Introduction & Best Practices**
This dynamic prompt is structured as a modular template. The goal is to give you maximum control over the final image by breaking down the core concepts into replaceable components. You can mix and match elements from the “Options” provided under each section or write your own to create a unique and highly specific visual.
For best results:
* **Be Specific:** The more detail you provide, the better the AI can interpret your vision.
* **Use Strong Verbs & Adjectives:** Words like “pulsating,” “searing,” “ancient,” and “monolithic” create a much stronger impression than generic terms.
* **Layer Concepts:** Start with the subject, then add the action (the glow), the environment, the style, and finally, the technical details.
* **Adapt for Your Platform:** While the core text works everywhere, some platforms have unique syntax. Midjourney uses parameters like `–ar 16:9`, while Stable Diffusion can use weighted terms like `(glowing eyes:1.3)`. These are noted in the “Pro-Tips” section.

### **Pro-Tips for Platform-Specific Adaptation**
* **Midjourney:** Use parameters at the end. For a cinematic feel, add `–ar 16:9 –style raw –c 5 –s 250`. (`–ar` for aspect ratio, `–style raw` for more photorealism, `–c` for chaos, `–s` for stylization).
* **Stable Diffusion:** You can use parentheses to add weight to a concept, e.g., `(glowing eyes:1.4)`, `(intricate details:1.2)`. Also, make use of the “Negative Prompt” field to exclude unwanted elements like `blurry, cartoon, watermark, text, ugly, deformed`.
* **DALL-E 3 (via ChatGPT):** Use natural language. You can describe the scene more conversationally, but structuring your request using the template’s logic will still yield more precise results.

### **Example Prompt in Practice**
Here is a complete prompt generated using the dynamic template, ready to be used.
**Generated Prompt:**
`Extreme close-up on the face of a colossal, weathered stone golem made of cracked granite, covered in glowing ancient runes. The guardian is in a state of awakening from a thousand-year slumber, located within forgotten temple ruins characterized by moonlight filtering through a broken ceiling. Its eyes suddenly ignite with an intense, searing molten amber magical light, a clear sign of its core power source re-igniting. The glow manifests as solid beams of light, casting dramatic, harsh shadows on its face. Motes of glowing dust and heat shimmer emanate from its eyes and body, such as glowing dust motes dancing in the light beams, tiny arcs of electricity crackling between its eyes, and ancient runes on its forehead flaring to life in sequence. Style: Photorealistic, cinematic fantasy art. Atmosphere: Ominous and awe-inspiring. Lighting: Cinematic lighting, volumetric light. Composition: Dynamic and asymmetrical. Rendered with Unreal Engine 5 render, intricate details, hyperrealistic textures, masterpiece, 8K.`
**Breakdown of the Example:**
* **Part 1:** Establishes a massive, ancient golem in a moonlit temple.
* **Part 2:** Details the specific moment of awakening with “molten amber” beams, describing the shadows and secondary VFX like arcing electricity and flaring runes.
* **Part 3:** Instructs the AI to create a photorealistic, cinematic, and incredibly detailed image with an ominous mood, specifying a render style for maximum quality.
