### **Part 1: The Dynamic Prompt Structure**
**Instructions for Use:**
Choose one or more descriptors for each bracketed category. Combine them into a single, cohesive paragraph for the AI. The more specific and sensory your descriptions, the more detailed and disturbing the result will be. Don’t be afraid to mix and match seemingly contradictory ideas to enhance the “weird” factor.

Underneath, the melting reveals `[Underlying Tissue Exposure]`, showing `[Anatomical Details]`. The slime mixes with bodily fluids, creating `[Gore Elements]` like `[Fluid/Tissue Mixture]`. The overall process looks `[Pathological Adjective]`.
**(Scene & Environment)**
The scene is set in a `[Location]`, creating an atmosphere of `[Atmosphere]`. The background is `[Background Description]` to enhance the focus on the subject.
**(Cinematography & Lighting)**
The lighting is `[Lighting Style]`, casting `[Shadow Quality]` across the distorted features. The overall color palette is dominated by `[Color Palette]`. The shot is framed to feel `[Shot Framing Adjective]`.
**(Artistic Style & Influences)**
The image should be in the style of `[Primary Style]`. Key artistic influences include the practical effects of `[Artist/Filmmaker Influence 1]`, the creature design of `[Artist/Filmmaker Influence 2]`, and the unsettling mood of `[Artistic Movement/Genre]`.

### **Part 3: One Practical Example Prompt**
Here is a complete prompt generated using the structure above, ready to be used in an AI platform.
**”An extreme close-up of a young scientist’s face, her expression a silent, screaming rictus of pure agony. Her face is actively melting under a viscous, bubbling, gelatinous slime. The substance is a translucent, shimmering chartreuse and deep cosmic purple, glowing with its own eerie internal bioluminescence. The melting process is gruesomely detailed; her skin is sloughing off in wet, hanging sheets, revealing glistening muscle fibers and the porous, blackened surface of her cheekbone. The slime mixes with blood and tears, creating a gruesome, dripping slurry. The scene is set in a sterile, white medical laboratory, creating an atmosphere of clinical dread. The lighting is a harsh, top-down clinical fluorescent light, casting deep, stark shadows in the dissolving eye sockets. The overall color palette is cold, sterile blues and greys, punctuated by the unearthly glow of the slime. The image should be hyperrealistic, in the style of a cinematic film still, heavily influenced by the practical body horror of David Cronenberg and the biomechanical designs of H.R. Giger. Rendered in Unreal Engine 5 with insane, microscopic detail, focusing on the texture of the boundary where flesh meets slime. 8K, masterpiece, photorealistic, anatomically correct gore.”**
