Prompt
A fantasy city built across floating sky islands, ancient weathered-stone buildings perched on drifting rock outcrops, rope bridges and carved stairways linking the islands, waterfalls spilling off their edges and dissolving into a sea of clouds below, distant airships drifting through golden late-afternoon haze, warm god rays breaking through, dreamy painterly matte-painting style, epic wide establishing shot --ar 16:9 --stylize 220 --no text, people

How to use this prompt
Depth carries this one, so build three clear planes: a sharp foreground island, mid-distance islands roped together with bridges, and hazy airships dissolving into cloud at the back — flatten those planes and the city looks like stickers on a sky. The 'sea of clouds below' is essential; it gives the rocks somewhere to float and hides where they'd otherwise need ground. Commit to one light direction — warm late-afternoon god rays — because scattered lighting makes floating geometry read as pasted-in. Keep the waterfalls dissolving softly into mist rather than hard-edged, so the islands feel suspended in air instead of submerged underwater.
Variations to try
- Night version — moonlit islands with warm lantern-lit windows and faintly glowing bioluminescent waterfalls
- Single hero island — one large temple island in close-up with a lone airship docking at its pier
