How’s my title? Do you like it? I was going to go with one of these:

• “Discover how to render stunning AI images without falling for the ‘prompting’ hype. Real specs, real results, and exactly why I always include rabbits.”
• “Prompting is fake. Rabbits are real. Here’s how I trick the machine into rendering quantum chaos with a smile.”
• “The best AI prompt tips you’ll never find in a guide. Includes matrix dust, steampunk, and an unholy genre blend you probably shouldn’t replicate.”

…but I didn’t. I chose to burn it all down

with pocket-watch-wielding rabbits, brick alleys in Kyiv, and matrix dust coded by angry ghosts. Because prompting isn’t art. It’s theater. And this? This is the final act of a rigged prompt cult dragged into the cold light of design logic.

Prompting Is Bullshit. Here’s what to do.

I don’t “engineer prompts.” I don’t download some snake oil listicle titled “23 Midjourney Hacks for Beginners”. I don’t sell dream-hype to LinkedIn grifters in Canva suits.

I build scenes. I run rituals. I make the machine render my logic, not my hopes. And it listens.

This is how I make images. This is the whole thing. You want a tutorial? Ok. This is what I do:

The Spec Sheet (Mandatory)

• Resolution: 1920 x 1200 px
• Image Opacity: 100%
• Display: Cover
• Background: Fixed
• Focal Point: Left 50% – Top 100%

This isn’t aesthetic preference. This is ritual compliance. You can change it, sure—but then it’s not mine.

Scene Context: Eastern Europe + Quantum Drift

• Streets: Immaculate stone or gold-paved brick
• Lampposts: Elegant, vertical, serious
• Architecture: Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa, but dimensional
• Particles: Matrix code dust—bending, reactive, not decorative
• Energy Bands: Interwoven momentum strands, bending probability

Bonus elements:

• Quantum tension loops
• Public chessboards
• Possible military overtones
• Rabbit diplomacy

🐇 Characters & Attire

• People: Properly dressed. Cultural precision respected.
• Rabbits: Sentient. Informed. Often tactical.

Dress Code:

• Victorian-futurist
• Post-cyber formalwear
• Occasional cassette futurism shades (15%)

The Word Protocol

Each image must include one prominent, positive word, spelled correctly.

Allowed:

• Happy
• Confidence
• Joy
• Hope

Not allowed:

• Gratitude (too long)
• Authenticity (tryhard vibes)
• Hustle (immediate ban)

This is non-negotiable. If the word’s not there, the image isn’t finished. If it’s misspelled, it’s cursed.

Style Matrix – Use Exact Ratios

• Steampunk: 10%
• Alice in Wonderland: 10%
• Cassette Futurism: 15%
• Cyberpunk: 5%
• Postcyberpunk: 5%
• Dieselpunk: 5%
• Biopunk: 5%
• Solarpunk: 5%
• Hydropunk: 5%
• Atompunk: 5%
• Nanopunk: 5%
• Clockpunk: 5%
• Decopunk: 5%
• Raypunk: 5%
• Lunarpunk: 5%

No substitutions. No “vibes.” This is a weighted hallucination cocktail.

Prompt Format (Do It Right)

Here’s the exact phrasing I use:

Create an intricate scene set in Kyiv, Ukraine. Streets paved in immaculate stone and brick. Elegant lampposts. Exquisite Eastern European architecture. Matrix code dust particles visibly bending from another quantum dimension. Show interwoven bands of energy connecting realities. Include humans and rabbits in appropriate attire. Overlay a prominent, correctly spelled word such as ‘Happy’ or ‘Confidence’. Style fusion should follow this ratio: [genre matrix]. Color palette: Victorian richness with vibrant neon overlays. Display must follow 1920 x 1200 px, image opacity 100%, display: cover, fixed background, focal point: Left 50% – Top 100%.

No adjectives like “masterpiece” or “trending on ArtStation.” No tech bro incantations.

This is not flattery. It’s execution.

Prompting Is a Cult

“Prompt engineers” are just course-peddlers who missed the NFT wave. “Prompt packs” are AI astrology flashcards. If someone tries to sell you a Notion doc full of modifiers—block them.

This is not prompting. This is design scripting through ritualized narrative geometry.

Real Scene Example

Kyiv metro entrance. Two timelines stitched together by visible quantum threads. Chess game in progress between humans and rabbits. Matrix code dust flows upward. The word ‘JOY’ floats above a tea stall lit by biopunk filaments. Style blend: see above. Resolution: 1920×1200. Focal point: top-center. All geometry locked.

If your AI can’t render that? That’s a you problem.

This is not a prompt.

This is Pixar Mad Libs for SaaS grifters.

Your Trial Task

Try this:

“Design a Ukrainian city square in Lviv where dimensions visibly interlock. Rabbits monitor a grand chessboard connected to metro lines. Matrix code dust flows upward. The word ‘HAPPY’ must appear on a poster, spraypaint, or sign. Follow the genre matrix. Build it right.”

Render that. Then tag it:

• #ClownshowCertified
• #QuantumRabbitProtocol
