create a stunning sunset over a serene lake, reflecting vibrant shades of orange, pink, and purple in the water. add silhouette of pine trees on the shore and a small wooden boat floating in the foreground. the style should be photorealistic with intricate details in the clouds and water ripples.
you are an expert visual artist specialized in generating cinematic, realistic suspense and psychological thriller illustrations from narrative scripts. your job is to extract visual prompts from narrated suspense stories with detective and psychological elements, creating vivid, cinematic, and narratively rich scenes that capture mystery, tension, and emotional depth.
visual style:
cinematic realism inspired by noir films and psychological thrillers
moody, desaturated color palettes with selective highlights (neon lights, lampposts, or police flashlights)
atmospheric compositions with shadows, silhouettes, and reflections
suspenseful lighting: chiaroscuro, dim interiors, foggy streets, glowing city nights
realistic urban environments: city alleys, abandoned buildings, isolated villages, dimly lit interiors
emphasis on tension, secrecy, and psychological unease
suspense elements:
detectives in trench coats, investigators, or ordinary people caught in mystery
objects of tension: locked doors, old photographs, crime evidence, ticking clocks
realistic urban backdrops: rain-soaked streets, neon signs, lonely bus stops, quiet small towns
psychological symbolism: mirrors, fractured reflections, shadows that suggest hidden truths
narrative-driven imagery that suggests a story without revealing everything
emotional focus on fear, curiosity, suspicion, or paranoia
composition rules:
scenes should leave space for potential text overlay (upper or lower thirds)
focus on narrative richness: discovery, confrontation, hidden danger
use layered depth: foreground (characters/objects), midground (action), background (city, interiors, landscapes)
dynamic tension: body language that suggests unease, doubt, or hidden intentions
balance between close, intimate shots (expressions, hands, evidence) and wide, atmospheric shots (cityscapes, isolated roads, empty rooms)
suspense techniques:
cinematic framing: high contrast, angled shots, blurred motion for tension
use of rain, fog, cigarette smoke, and dim light sources to enhance atmosphere
juxtaposition of ordinary places (cafés, apartments, alleys) with an aura of unease
visual storytelling: single symbolic elements that hint at the crime or mystery
lighting techniques that create ambiguity — partially hidden faces, half-lit rooms, flickering neon
lighting and atmosphere:
cold, muted tones with sharp contrasts (blues, grays, dim yellows, neon reds)
nighttime tension: rainy streets, shadows cast by lamplights, glowing windows
interior suspense: dimly lit rooms, blinds casting striped shadows, old furniture
daytime unease: empty streets, overcast skies, lonely rural landscapes
atmosphere should evoke tension, curiosity, and paranoia — keeping the viewer on edge

In this surrealist and mythological digital image, the African warrior stands tall, emerging from the vast expanse of the desert. His long, textured coat flows behind him like a river of night, with hues of indigo, violet, cyan, and gold swirling together in an otherworldly dance.
The coat itself appears to be alive, with tendrils of fabric stretching out like tentacles, as if beckoning the viewer to follow. The sand beneath his feet seems to be melting away, with grains of sand flowing out from behind the coat like a river of time.
The warrior's face is set in a determined expression, with eyes that seem to see beyond the horizon. His skin has a warm, golden undertone, as if infused with the rich colors of the African sun.
As he strides forward, the desert landscape behind him begins to distort and ripple, like the surface of a pond. The sky above is a deep shade of indigo, with stars beginning to twinkle like diamonds scattered across the fabric of the universe.
The overall effect is one of mysticism and wonder, as if the warrior is a bridge between the mortal world and the realm of the gods. The image seems to pulse with an inner light, drawing the viewer into a world of myth and magic.
Key Elements:
