Universal Prompt Prompt:
This striking digital artwork portrays a samurai warrior rendered in a dramatic ink wash style that blends traditional East Asian aesthetics with contemporary digital art techniques. The figure dominates the center of the composition, depicted in a Medium Shot that captures him from mid-thigh upward. The warrior wears a formal black kimono or robe with a wide obi belt cinched at the waist, traditional Japanese attire that gives him a commanding presence. His long black hair flows dramatically behind him, caught in what appears to be a powerful wind or perhaps symbolizing spiritual energy. The warrior has distinctive facial features including intense eyes, prominent eyebrows, and a well-groomed mustache and beard that contribute to his formidable appearance. His expression conveys determination and inner strength, with a slight downward gaze that suggests contemplation or readiness for battle. The artwork employs Rule of Thirds positioning with the figure slightly off-center, creating visual tension and interest. The background is predominantly white with dramatic ink splash effects that emanate from the warrior, particularly from his robe and hair. These ink splashes create a sense of movement and power, as if the warrior's very presence is causing the environment to react. The artistic technique combines precise detailing on the warrior's face and clothing with more abstract, flowing elements in the ink splashes. The limited color palette of black, white, and gray tones creates a stark contrast that emphasizes the warrior's silhouette and facial features. There's a subtle gradient in the background that adds depth, with some areas appearing slightly shadowed. In the left portion of the image, there appears to be a faint shadow suggestion of a weapon or staff, adding to the warrior's implicit power. The overall composition balances stillness and movement – the warrior's stance is controlled and steady, while the flowing elements suggest imminent action. This creates a momentary tension, capturing the essence of martial readiness that is central to samurai philosophy. The artistic style references traditional sumi-e (Japanese ink wash painting) but executes it with digital precision, creating a piece that bridges historical artistic traditions with contemporary digital art techniques.

Camera 1
Movement Type: Minimal dolly push forward (very slow). Action: Warrior's intense gaze becomes more pronounced, hair strands subtly shift in unseen wind. Details: Extremely slow forward movement at 3mm/second, maintaining focus on facial features, ink splashes appearing to intensify slightly as camera closes distance, depth of field remains consistent, heightening warrior's presence without disturbing composition.
Camera 2
Movement Type: Minimal orbit around subject (very slow). Action: Revealing subtle contours of warrior's face, slight shift in how light catches kimono fabric, ink splash elements appearing to rotate with perspective. Details: Clockwise orbit at 1° per second, maintaining eye-level height, consistent distance from subject, shadows across facial features gradually shifting, subtle parallax effect with background ink elements.
Camera 3
Movement Type: Emerges. Action: Ink splashes initially appear dormant then gradually emerge from warrior's silhouette, expanding outward in fluid motions. Details: Starting with minimal ink presence, black tendrils emerge at gradually increasing speed (5% > 30% velocity), emanating primarily from hair and robe edges, creating sense of growing power, invisible barrier between stillness and dynamic energy breaking, heightening dramatic tension.

Prompt 1
A stoic warrior stands against a minimalist backdrop, his dark silhouette commanding attention. Dramatic ink-splash effects create a dynamic contrast with the stark white background, suggesting both physical movement and spiritual power. The warrior's flowing black hair and robes billow dramatically, caught in an unseen wind that carries ink splatter elements across the frame.
