How to use this prompt
"Bone-pattern embroidery along the hem" signals necromancy without resorting to a skeleton — without it SDXL draws a generic wizard in black. The skull pauldron adds asymmetrical visual interest to the upper body. "Skeletal fingers visible beneath tattered glove cuffs" communicates undeath without showing a full skeleton. "Glowing green crystal orb" is the magical focus; green is the necrotic signal — red would push toward demonology. "Pale skin with dark sunken eyes" gives the face character without making the necromancer undead. "Staff planted on the ground" creates a grounded stance contrasting the supernatural. The negative prompt blocks sci-fi and bright colours that break the dark fantasy tone.
Variations to try
- Swap the staff for a grimoire held open with floating bone shards circling the pages
- Change the palette to black and violet for a shadow-magic necromancer variant
