### Example Prompt in Practice
Here is a complete, ready-to-use prompt generated by following the structure above.
**Prompt:**
VFX cinematic still of a large, amorphous biological mass floating silently in a tall, cylindrical glass stasis tank. The entity’s texture is a membranous, semi-translucent skin, revealing dark, pulsating vascular tissue beneath. Drifting, vestigial tendrils sway listlessly in the murky, amniotic-like fluid, which is filled with floating organic particulate matter.
The tank is set in a dark, abandoned subterranean laboratory, with shelves in the blurred background cluttered with old beakers and scientific instruments. The composition is a medium close-up shot from a low angle, making the specimen feel imposing and alien.
The primary light source is the eerie, internal bioluminescence from the entity itself, casting a sickly green glow that creates volumetric light rays through the murky liquid. The color palette is dominated by desaturated industrial grays and the unsettling green glow. The atmosphere is one of oppressive, claustrophobic dread.
The style is hyper-detailed and photorealistic, heavily influenced by the body horror of David Cronenberg and the biomechanical designs of H.R. Giger. Rendered in 8K resolution with sharp focus and cinematic quality.
**Negative Prompt:**
cartoon, anime, cute, friendly, humanoid, symmetrical, clear face, defined eyes, monster, cliché alien, bright colors, text, watermarks.
