Style prompt

An ornate Art Deco illustration language with crisp silhouettes, delicate controlled linework, and broad flat fields of gently textured color. Dusty rose, mauve, pale peach, ocher gold, dark teal, and black create a luxurious restrained palette. Large circular and elongated shapes balance one another within a formal frame. Fine floral and geometric ornament concentrates at edges and selected surfaces, while central areas stay spacious. Depth comes from overlapping planes and theatrical staging rather than realistic shadow. An integrated dark decorative border with small gold motifs gives the square image a complete, collectible print quality.

Full example prompt

An elegant couple stands at the edge of a teal lake beneath an immense round golden moon. The woman wears a long flowing ocher dress that fans out toward the lower edge, while the man in a tailored dark jacket and pale trousers turns toward her in a small, formal gesture. Their figures occupy the lower right and remain slender against a broad landscape of water, low dark banks, and softly rounded pink trees. The golden disc is perfectly flat and luminous, centered behind the trees like a theatrical backdrop. Clusters of rose and mauve blossoms hang from above and wrap around its edge. Tiny boats and distant figures on the lake add scale without pulling attention from the foreground pair. The scene is a decorative Art Deco illustration with crisp silhouettes, finely controlled linework, and areas of flat, gently textured color. Pale peach, dusty pink, ocher gold, and dark teal are arranged in large graphic zones, with black used for selected outlines and depth. An ornate rectangular border encloses the picture; its dark bands carry small golden floral emblems and patterned corner details. The frame is part of the composition, balancing the central circular moon and the elongated vertical figures. There is little naturalistic shadow or atmospheric perspective. Instead, overlapping planes and repeated curves create an elegant stage-like depth. The finished square image feels romantic, stylized, and luxurious, with delicate patterned accents set against broad quiet color fields.
