Prompt
A video game loading screen illustration, an adventurer's campsite at dusk, a crackling campfire with sparks rising, a bedroll and backpack leaning against a fallen log, a cooking pot suspended over the fire, a map and compass on a tree stump, fireflies in the surrounding forest, a faint glowing portal in the background hinting at the next area, warm firelight glow on the foreground objects, painterly digital art style with soft brush texture, palette of warm orange, deep forest green, and twilight purple, no text, no letters, no progress bar, no UI elements

How to use this prompt
"No progress bar, no UI elements" is the critical guardrail — DALL·E 3 adds loading bars and percentage indicators when it hears "loading screen," which ruins the illustration. "Painterly digital art style with soft brush texture" matches the loading-screen convention; a photorealistic style looks like a screenshot, not game art. "A faint glowing portal in the background" implies the game continues beyond this moment; without it the campfire scene is static. "Fireflies in the surrounding forest" adds life to a still image. "Warm firelight glow on the foreground objects" creates depth and atmosphere.
Variations to try
- Swap the campsite for a spaceship cockpit with a hyperspace jump loading animation
- Change the palette to desert ochre and sunset pink for a canyon campsite variant
