Style prompt

Superhero comic art uses emphatic black contours, segmented angular anatomy, halftone dots, and dense hatching over saturated blue, purple, magenta, and orange. Strong foreshortening and tilted ground planes throw focal shapes toward the viewer, while machinery-like layers crowd the background. Hot backlight creates bright edges against cool dark fronts, with small white glints sharpening joints and openings. Color fields are bold and printed-looking rather than smoothly blended. The result is explosive, crowded, and intensely graphic.

Full example prompt

A square superhero comic illustration shows a blue armored robot charging diagonally through a fiery mechanical scene. The figure dominates the left and central space, its heavy boot thrust toward the lower right and both arms bent as if in a powerful running stride. Rounded blue-black armor plates cover the head, chest, shoulders, and limbs, with small orange panels glowing at the center of the torso and upper arms. Thick black outlines and sharply segmented joints make the mechanical anatomy immediately readable. Behind the runner, a huge purple machine or face-like device fills the upper right, its round central opening edged by hot yellow and orange flame. A smaller crouching armored figure appears at the lower left, dwarfed by the main body and surrounding machinery. Wheels, coils, and angular panels crowd the corners, while magenta and violet shadows cut through the heat. The ground tilts across the bottom, marked by black speed lines and broken warm shapes that push the action forward. Flat color areas are overlaid with dense dots, hatch marks, and white highlights, creating a rough printed texture rather than smooth digital metal. The strongest light comes from the flame behind the large machine, outlining the robot's shoulder and leg while its front planes stay cooler blue. Orange reflections glint on seams and armor vents. No readable dialogue or caption appears in the selected scene. The overall composition is explosive and crowded, using a near-foreshortened boot, deep mechanical layers, and violent warm-cool contrast to create comic-book momentum.
