How to use this prompt
"Coiled three times around" is the phrase doing the work — without a count Midjourney tends to perch the dragon on top like a weathervane instead of wrapping it around the towers. The lightning strike is your key light; drop it and the storm goes murky grey with no silhouette read. Keep the "tiny soldiers on the walls" — the dragon only feels colossal measured against something human-sized. If the dragon's body merges into the rock, add "scales glinting wet" so its surface separates from the granite.
Variations to try
- Sleeping guardian — swap the storm clause for "moss growing over its folded wings, morning mist, the fortress living peacefully within its coils"
- Aftermath version — replace the watchfires with "smoke rising from a shattered gatehouse, the dragon's head turned toward the viewer"
