  "SHOT COMPOSITION": "Medium shot framing "LYNDIA CARTER" as Wonder Woman and Superman seated at a bar counter, captured with a 50mm lens on a Canon 5D camera, featuring a shallow depth of field to softly blur the background patrons and focus sharply on the heroes.",
  "SUBJECT & WARDROBE": "Lyndia Carter" embodies Wonder Woman with her iconic dark hair, strong features, and determined expression, wearing her classic red, blue, and gold armored costume with a flowing cape; beside her, Superman appears heroic with his muscular build, blue suit, red cape, and S emblem, both casually holding beer mugs, sharing a relaxed laugh as they clink glasses.",
  "SCENE SETTING": "The scene unfolds in a dimly lit, cozy urban bar at night, with warm ambient lighting from overhead lamps and neon signs casting a golden glow, wooden bar stools and shelves of bottles in the background, evoking a casual and intimate tone as the superheroes unwind.",
  "VISUAL STYLE": "Realistic photo style with a cinematic film aesthetic, subtle grain texture for a authentic feel, and warm color grading to enhance the vibrant yet relaxed atmosphere, like a high-quality snapshot from a superhero movie behind-the-scenes."
“Generate a creature that cannot be categorized or compared to anything within human imagination or artistic tradition. Its design must reject all visual, cultural, biological, or stylistic references known to mankind. It should appear as an emergent anomaly — something reality itself struggles to render. Its form should evoke primal, wordless terror without relying on eyes, mouths, limbs, or any familiar anatomy. The environment should bend around it, light faltering as if uncertain how to illuminate it. The result must feel truly alien to perception, outside all artistic schools, mythologies, and aesthetics.” Execution Directives: no recognizable art style, no symbolism, no cultural or religious motifs, no fantasy, sci-fi, gothic, surrealist, or Lovecraftian cues; pure generative originality — render as an aesthetic void, with physics, texture, and form emerging from the AI’s own abstraction layer; — forbid emulation of any artist, genre, or medium; — prioritize conceptual impossibility over visual coherence.

A highly detailed cyberpunk realistic photo (photograph) of a female real person in the style of digital concept art, featuring a seductive female android assassin with pale porcelain skin, sharp angular features, glowing crimson red eyes with a hypnotic intensity, and short vibrant orange hair styled in a sleek bob cut with a white triangular highlight on the forehead. She wears a glossy black latex bodysuit that clings tightly to her curvaceous figure, emphasizing her ample bust and athletic build, complete with metallic buckles, glowing red accents labeled "aifluxart", high-tech straps, and a choker collar; red over-ear headphones with antennae adorn her head, and a black katana sword is sheathed diagonally across her back. She kneels provocatively on a slick, reflective red-tinted floor in a dimly lit futuristic chamber with scattered tech debris and crimson neon lighting casting dramatic shadows and highlights, her gloved hands resting on her thighs, lips slightly parted in a sultry expression as she gazes upward at the viewer. A sleek black cat with glowing eyes sits calmly beside her, adding an air of mystery. The medium is hyper-realistic digital painting with high gloss and specular reflections on the latex material, vibrant color palette dominated by deep blacks, fiery reds, and contrasting oranges, intricate lighting effects with volumetric god rays and bloom, ultra-high resolution, 8K quality, sharp focus on textures like shiny latex sheen and metallic details, atmospheric depth with subtle fog and cyberpunk grit.
