Nano Banana 2 Prompt:
A massive black steam locomotive with striking red steel wheels. In the foreground, an alert, attentive Golden Retriever sitting beside an antique pocket watch resting on the ground. Leaning out of the locomotive cab is a ghostly, translucent train driver wearing a 29th-century archaic-futuristic long coat uniform with faint glowing seams. The Golden Retriever gazes forward attentively while the ghostly driver peers out from the cab. The imposing locomotive stands motionless, billowing a massive, engulfing cloud of thick white steam into the night air. An abandoned, overgrown railway track at a derelict old train station at night. Mist creeps over the cracked stone platform, obscuring rusted rails and faded station signage. Above, a full moon hangs in a dark, cloudy sky. Dramatic graphic novel panel composition, low-angle medium-wide shot to emphasize the imposing train and the dog in the foreground. Dog in sharp focus, dynamic perspective. Classic graphic novel illustration style, strong heavy ink lines, high-contrast cel shading, and halftone textures. Eerie, unsettling atmosphere with deep shadows and cold monochrome blue-black tones. Selective color popping: red steel wheels and warm gold accents on the dog and pocket watch. Pale silver moonlight creates a striking rim light on the dog's fur, the locomotive's silhouette, and the steam clouds. Masterpiece graphic novel cover art, moody and cinematic. Clear translucency on the ghost character. No watermarks, no text, no lettering, no extra characters, single scene, strict night setting.

Flux.3 Image Prompt
A slightly overgrown wild garden in late summer, warm golden afternoon light. A laughing 10-month-old baby is buried waist-deep in the soil beneath a shady tree. Fresh green leaves sprout from the baby's fingers, and buds of white blossoms grow on the baby's head, with bees buzzing around the flowers. View from a terrace in the foreground, where a few women stand watching the child; some of the women are visibly pregnant. Lush grasses, wildflowers, and soft dusty summer haze create a gentle, dreamlike yet natural mood. Realistic photography style, cozy storybook atmosphere, soft focus background, no text, no watermark

Byte Plus Seedream 5.0 Pro Prompt:
Scene: A sparsely furnished, minimalist futuristic room with clean lines and modern design, featuring a plain white wall as the main backdrop, bright even indoor lighting.
Subject: On the white wall, a large section is painted partially painted over with solid black paint, its edges slightly rough as if painted directly onto the wall. Centered on the black painted area is the text "Kavaliro de la artoj" written in red lettering with broad, rough brushstrokes.
Important details: The entire red text is framed/enclosed by a yellow pentagon with broad, rough brushstrokes. At each of the pentagon's five corners, a small alchemical symbol is painted in yellow lettering/marks. The black paint contrasts sharply with the white wall; the red text and yellow pentagon stand out boldly against the black background.
Use case: Urban/street-art style wall painting, contemporary interior design photography.
Constraints: The correct text "Kavaliro de la artoj" exactly as written, no extra words, no watermark, no logos, no people in focus. The wall section is black, the text is red, the pentagon and corner symbols are yellow.

Byte Plus Seedream 5.0 Pro Prompt:
An endless dry beige plain with scattered rocks as smooth as glass on parched, cracked earth. Three creatures resembling large, flayed and broken stick insects drag themselves toward the horizon. On the horizon, a grey fog hangs; the light is diffuse and murky, with no discernible light source. At the side stands a narrow mirror rising endlessly upward, its surface silvery and wave-like. Surreal atmosphere. In the style of a blend between an expressionist painting and a late medieval apocalyptic biblical depiction.

Byte Plus Seedream 5.0 Pro Prompt:
A dark, cozy room in a pampered old house with heavy velvet curtains draped before the window. Near the floor in one corner of the room is a small cat door, its edges shimmering with a soft purple glow, and a cat is just slipping through it. A dozen cats of various colors roam and lounge around the room. Mystical, magical atmosphere with dim warm candlelight and subtle floating dust motes, cinematic interior shot, moody painterly style.

Byte Plus Seedream 5.0 Pro Prompt
Extreme close-up of a man's forearm, wrist to elbow filling the frame. The skin is covered in a dense, fine yellowish fungal fuzz — mold-like downy filaments with tiny spore dots — growing directly out of the pores. Embedded within and rising out of this fungal texture, the words "WEHRE DICH NICHT!" are formed by the mycelium itself, the letters shaped from raised fuzzy growth, as if the mold has written them. Surreal, psychedelic atmosphere: hyper-saturated sickly yellows and ochres against a dark shifting background, subtle organic pulsing forms, faint fractal-like patterns in the blurred backdrop, dreamlike macro photography, soft eerie lighting from one side, strong texture detail, 90mm macro lens feel. No watermark, no logos, no extra text, only the arm and the written words in frame.

Byte Plus Seedream 5.0 Pro Prompt:
Scene: A luxurious designer house of the future, interior view looking toward a large sliding glass door that is slightly ajar, soft diffused daylight from lightly overcast skies, muted cool tones. Right in front of the house is a small lakeside beach with reeds and rushes.
Subject: Through the narrow gap of the partially open sliding door, a calm fjord lake is visible — still, mirror-like water, complete silence, distant fjord mountains fading into the haze.
Important details: Minimalist high-end architecture, matte glass and brushed surfaces, the door frame creating a natural vignette; far out on the water, a single human figure floats motionlessly, it floats on its side, lying flat in the water, small in frame, adding quiet tension. Atmospheric, contemplative mood, cinematic composition, 50mm lens feel.
Use case: Editorial fine-art photography, architectural magazine cover.
Constraints: No people in the interior, no text, no watermark, single figure in the water, subdued natural lighting, no oversaturation.
