I made a blog but can't put it on here yet here is the prompt and you can tweak it to your own personal touches PROMPT: Cinematic double-exposure artwork: layered portraits of mesmerizing magicians — a stage illusionist with top hat and smoke, a dark sorcerer with rune tattoos, a card master mid-flick, and an elegant spellcaster casting motes of light — blended into one surreal silhouette. Foreground: a close-up playing card at shallow depth of field, matte linen texture, embossed edges, elegant gold cursive: "Art By Archangel Tara." Dramatic low-key lighting, warm amber highlights, cool indigo shadows, subtle film grain, painterly-realistic 4K detail, Baroque theatrical mood, dynamic three-quarter camera angle, rich textures and polished metallic surfaces.
