How I Write Prompts — the 11-Element Method

base: a low view from across the water, just above the lake surface: a slender water dragon has risen from the lake and presses its brow into the girl's open palm, the clear water of its brow dimpling around her fingers; she kneels at the lower left on a flat stone at the water's edge, her arm reaching toward the centre where the dragon's head meets her hand; water streams off the dragon's jaw and ripples spread from where its neck breaks the surface; a mountain lake at dawn, pale mist over the water, quiet light char1: a young traveller girl, chestnut hair in a low braid over one shoulder, hazel eyes, a white blouse and dark green skirt, a worn leather satchel strap across her chest, kneeling on a flat stone at the water's edge, one palm held out to the dragon's brow, her eyes closed softly, a small smile, her face tilted down toward the dragon char2: a slender eastern-style water dragon risen from the lake, its long neck arched down, its body clear and pale blue like flowing glass, fins like thin veils, its brow pressed to her palm neg: worst quality, low quality, bad anatomy, extra limbs, extra fingers, missing fingers, deformed, mutated, fused fingers, nsfw, nude, text, watermark, signature, multiple views, split panel, chibi　/ char1側: beast girl, animal ears on the girl, tail on the girl, scales on the girl　/ char2側: human, humanoid, wings, fur, western dragon, aggressive, bared fangs, two heads

base: from under a stall awning slightly above head height, looking down a fantasy royal-capital market street that owns the right two thirds of the frame and recedes deep: hanging banners and spice stalls in white stone, shafts of morning light falling through hung cloth with dust motes drifting; the girl stands at the lower left, half turned away, pausing mid-stride with a hand raised to shade her eyes, its shadow falling across her own face; a vendor's cat suns itself on a crate beside her char1: a young traveller girl, chestnut hair in a low braid over one shoulder, hazel eyes, a white blouse and dark green skirt, a worn leather satchel strap across her chest, standing at the lower left half turned away, one hand raised to shade her eyes, her mouth slightly open in wonder, her eyes up at the banners char2: a plump short-haired vendor's cat lying on a wooden crate, tail curled, its eyes on the girl neg: worst quality, low quality, bad anatomy, extra limbs, extra fingers, missing fingers, deformed, mutated, fused fingers, nsfw, nude, text, watermark, signature, multiple views, split panel, chibi　/ char1側: looking at viewer　/ char2側: human, cat girl, kemonomimi, two tails, monster

base: at the same height as the spell-light and from the side: the girl stands on the left third in profile casting her first light spell from a short wand held in both hands, a wobbling ball of warm light hanging in the centre of the frame with small sparks drifting off it, and a small horned-owl familiar on the right third bracing on a round cushion with both wings raised against the glare, its talons denting the cushion it grips; a magic-academy practice room, chalk circles on slate walls char1: a young traveller girl, chestnut hair in a low braid over one shoulder, hazel eyes, a white blouse and dark green skirt, a worn leather satchel strap across her chest, standing in profile, a short wand gripped in both hands pointed at the light, one eye squeezed shut and the other peeking open, her brows tight char2: a small horned owl familiar perched on a round cushion, both wings raised in front of itself against the light, its feathers ruffled, its talons denting the cushion neg: worst quality, low quality, bad anatomy, extra limbs, extra fingers, missing fingers, deformed, mutated, fused fingers, nsfw, nude, text, watermark, signature, multiple views, split panel, chibi　/ char1側: looking at viewer, wings on the girl　/ char2側: human, humanoid, giant owl, two heads, dragon
