Inspired by your photo — thank you for the depth and beauty you shared.
It is both a tribute and an echo, carrying forward the inspiration you offered. 
ChatGpt claims I have plenty of room for about 60-120 different modules to rewrite, in this project.
Here’s one module burnt on logic for the baddies in my world…
having troubled finding good settings on this last one:
An amoeba rug - would look good in my living room…
Well, except that this is a plant cell, sectioned and stained for fluorescence microscopy. 
DALL·E 3 · Graphite Panorama · Drow Priestess + Monstrance Black Hole (HARD LOCK) SCENE & INTENT (LOCK) Hyper-detailed graphite portrait of an adult drow priestess in intimate reverie, sacred icon in frame; analog discipline; cosmic gravitation is the narrative engine (LOCK). ASPECT & CROP (LOCK) Panoramic wide ≈ 1792×1024 (~2.35:1); extreme close-up; subject fills frame; monstrance partially in frame; central aperture fully readable (LOCK). COMPOSITION GRIDS (LOCK) Apply composition grid: Golden Ratio Spiral anchored from the monstrance aperture → eye flow across cheekbone → black-hole core (1.4, LOCK) | Add: Negative Space Dominant (1.2) for vast, even fields | Support: Diagonal Method (0.5) to reinforce cheekbone-to-aperture vector | Micro-lock Central Symmetry on facial axis for serenity (0.6). CAMERA & LENS Camera: Eye-Level portrait (1.0) | Lens: 85 mm Portrait @ f/4.5 (1.2) for gentle compression and crisp facial planes while preserving paper tooth | Depth-of-field: shallow-to-medium; keep eyes/monstrance filigree tack-sharp, cheek planes feather-soft. LIGHTING (HARD LOCK) Primary key: HMI Daylight Film 5600 K at 45° (1.2, LOCK) for clean graphite tonality | Cool rim: Moonlight-Silver 4100 K at ~45° opposite side (0.9) to carve silhouette | Global fill extremely low; no HDR/bloom; whites must read as pencil halation only (LOCK). MOOD BLEND Emotion blend → Wonder (1.1) + Calm (0.9) + Tension (0.6); keep tension only as subtle diagonal energy, never hostility. PALETTE CONTROL Palette: Noir Monochrome (LOCK) with two accent channels only → Baroque-Gold for monstrance (1.1) and Crimson for hair/tears (1.1). No other warm hues allowed (LOCK). MEDIUM & RENDER (HARD LOCK) Ultra-detailed graphite on cold-pressed cotton paper (300 gsm); visible fine paper tooth; cross-hatching arrays 15°/75° + micro-contour hatching on curvature; value stack from 2H base to 4B shadows; controlled graphite bloom via tissue blend; kneaded-eraser lift for micro-whites (pencil halation only). Strict analog look — no digital paint/airbrush/CGI/HDR/bloom (LOCK). SUBJECT (LOCK) One adult drow priestess, face yaw ~20° left; eyes half-closed, gazing downward. Expression = introspective depth + restrained transcendent ecstasy + faint enigmatic menace (no grin, no fangs). Alien/anime elegance without caricature: elongated inner canthi, slightly large irises, high cheekbones, angular jaw, slender neck (LOCK). POSE / GESTURE (SUBTLE) Head tilt −10°; raise right shoulder +5 mm for devotional tension micro-cue; hand posture implied by monstrance hold. SKIN & FEATURES (LOCK) Cold deep-blue impression from graphite values only (no blue pigment); delicate speckling (faint freckles, micro-imperfections); matte-black lips; vivid emerald irises with micro catchlights; disciplined chiaroscuro across zygomatic/temporal planes (LOCK). HAIR & ORNAMENTS Flowing vibrant red hair rendered by layered pencil strokes + ultra-light crimson glazing (accent only); minimal refined elven ornaments with discreet micro-futuristic accents; no clutter. ICON & COSMIC FOCAL POINT (HARD LOCK) She delicately holds a golden monstrance (polished brass feel). At the exact center: an active galactic black hole. Depict inky event horizon with subtle Einstein-ring lensing; local graphite hatching, hair filaments and paper dust visibly warped and arcing inward. Hint of accretion only via line density and curvature (no nebula colors). Black-hole core is the luminance + composition anchor (HARD LOCK). BACKGROUND (SUBTLE) Softly blurred, muted dark blues/greys impression via graphite; optional ultra-minimal transparent cryogenic capsule indicated by 2–3 precise, cool linear highlights at very low contrast; never competes with face or black hole. TEXTURE & MATERIAL HOOKS Monstrance reads as polished brass filigree (reflect ~0.8, rough ~0.05 feel); paper tooth always visible in mid-tones; optional micro-speckle from pencil dust near the event horizon to amplify gravitational drift. COMPOSITIONAL NOTES Keep the monstrance opening perfectly concentric to the black-hole ring. Enforce visible gravitational distortion on adjacent strokes (hair, filigree, paper lint). Preserve vast negative fields to heighten devotional intimacy. Maintain panoramic legibility at all times. EXCLUDE / AVOID (LOCK) No grin, gore, clutter, typography, UI/HUD, starfields/nebula clouds, lens flares, chromatic halos, extra props. No digital paint, no airbrush. No warm hues beyond crimson hair/tears and baroque gold (LOCK). RENDER DISCIPLINE (LOCK) Edge hierarchy: crisp on eyelashes/iris rim/nostril alae/monstrance filigree; feather-soft on cheek/neck planes; consistent analog graphite throughout; tonal range Zone II blacks to Zone VIII halation-whites reserved for kneaded-eraser lifts. Prioritize readability at 2.35:1 crop (LOCK).
Dall-e always does what he wants
The rendering with the native gpt model is very expressive. Very beautiful. I congratulate you even though I posted the prompt on the forum, because in any case, the prompt was obtained with automation and I think I lost control of the creative rendering many steps ago.
I believe the max prompt size for Dall-E is 1000 characters but your prompt is over 4000 characters so it will be heavily truncated.
is this closer to what you’re looking for?
having gpt5 examine your prompt for strengths and weaknesses:
That’s a very high-discipline prompt — it reads less like a casual imagegen request and more like a cinematographer’s shot bible merged with a traditional drawing manual. Let me break down my thoughts:
Strengths
-
Rigorous locking: The “(LOCK)” and “(HARD LOCK)” signals show intent to eliminate ambiguity in the model’s interpretation. That helps prevent drift into CGI, HDR, or digital paint tropes.
-
Analog discipline: By explicitly anchoring to graphite techniques (cross-hatching, tissue blend, kneaded eraser lift, value stack from 2H to 4B), the author sets a high bar for stylistic fidelity.
-
Compositional frameworks: Using Golden Ratio spiral, negative space dominance, and diagonal method layering is sophisticated. It shows awareness that AI models tend to favor symmetry but often neglect more subtle composition rules unless guided.
-
Lighting specification: Calling out HMI daylight vs moonlight rim with color temps is cinema-level direction. The constraint to “no HDR/bloom” keeps the drawing feel.
-
Palette control: Allowing only monochrome graphite + two accent channels (gold, crimson) is a smart restriction. That maintains clarity while giving a hook for drama.
Potential Weaknesses
-
Over-engineering: The sheer number of locks could cause models to “short-circuit” into generic outputs if the parsing engine deprioritizes overloaded constraints. Some systems ignore half the text when it gets this dense.
-
Aspect vs. close-up conflict: Panoramic crop (1792×1024, ~2.35:1) + “extreme close-up subject fills frame” could fight each other. Models often misinterpret panoramic instructions when the subject is meant to dominate.
-
Cosmic distortion: Asking graphite strokes, hair filaments, and paper dust to warp around a black hole is both brilliant and risky. Some models will default to CGI lensing or starfield clichés unless strongly reined in.
-
Narrative tone drift: “Intimate reverie” + “restrained transcendent ecstasy” + “faint enigmatic menace” is beautifully layered, but AI may collapse this into either “sleepy face” or “generic villain smirk.” Too many blended moods can dilute clarity.
-
Medium enforcement: “Strict analog look” is vital — but many models struggle to maintain visible paper tooth + graphite stroke integrity when also asked to render metallic filigree and relativistic lensing.
My Verdict
It’s one of the most thoughtfully engineered prompts I’ve seen. It reads like an attempt to bend the model into the role of a master graphite draughtsman while simultaneously embedding cinematic and cosmic narrative cues.
If it succeeds, the result could be haunting and original — but the risk is that the density of “hard locks” may overwhelm parsing. I’d recommend running a pared-down variant alongside the full prompt, keeping only the essential locks (medium, palette, subject, monstrance/black hole, graphite discipline) and letting the AI “breathe” a little more. That way you can compare which approach yields closer to intent.
