How to use this prompt

The spirit lantern with "faint blue glow" is the prop that sells the ghost-hunter concept — a regular lantern makes this a Victorian gentleman, not a paranormal investigator. The salt-filled vials reference real folklore and add character-specific detail that separates this from generic steampunk. "Resolute expression with jaw set" prevents the model from giving the hunter a neutral or dreamy face. The spectral blue accent is the only colour that breaks the monochrome Victorian palette — it ties to the lantern glow. "No background scenery" is essential because Midjourney adds haunted mansions that distract from the character. Stylize at 200 renders the cuff symbols without over-detailing the tweed.

Variations to try

  • Swap the ghost hunter for a Victorian vampire slayer with a stake bandolier and silver cross
  • Change the palette to burgundy and pale gold for an aristocratic occultist variant
