How to use this prompt
Dragon treasure scenes need contrast between the creature and the gold. The dragon should be dark red or black so the golden hoard catches the light. The 16:9 frame shows the cave expanse and the size of the treasure pile. Glowing embers provide the only light source, creating dramatic shadows. Keep the dragon's eye visible; it adds intelligence and menace. The gold should be scattered, not stacked like bricks.
Variations to try
- Friendly dragon treasure — sleeping dragon with a single coin for a gentle scene
- Ice dragon hoard — frozen gems and blue light for a winter fantasy
