How to use this prompt
The blank speech bubble is the hardest part. SDXL fills speech bubbles with random words even when you tell it not to, so "no text inside it" and the negative "text, letters, numbers, words" must both be present. The halftone dot shading is what makes this horror comic rather than a regular wolf illustration — without "heavy black halftone dots" the model produces smooth gradient shading that looks like a wildlife tee. Blood red and sickly green are the accent colours; adding more colours pushes it toward a superhero comic. The jagged panel borders frame the design as a comic page, not a standalone illustration. CFG at 7 holds the bold line weight; below 6 the outlines soften.
Variations to try
- Swap the wolf for a skull with the same halftone shading and blank speech bubble
- Change the palette to purple and orange for a 1980s VHS horror variant
