📜 Full Prompt

Upload Photo Type Prompt A cinematic sci-fi masterpiece depicting a dramatic invasion scene at sunset. In the skies above an ancient European city skyline, a colossal Imperial Star Destroyer looms out of thick storm clouds. Below, five TIE fighters fly in tight formation, cutting through the glowing atmosphere as the sun sets in the background, casting golden rays across the clouds and rooftops. On a ledge in the foreground (optional depending on angle), a lone commander stands — with the uploaded face, wearing a dark imperial uniform with a long flowing cape. His expression is intense and stoic, bathed in orange glow, eyes fixed on the incoming fleet. The contrast between ancient architecture below and futuristic warships above adds surreal grandeur.
