Surreal photorealistic composite: a Victorian reading room opening through a large ornate doorway directly onto the surface of the Moon, warm lamplight from the room spilling onto grey lunar regolith, Earth's curve visible on the horizon through the doorway, a Victorian-dressed figure standing at the threshold looking out, equal photographic realism on both interior and exterior, lighting continuity across the boundary

Vast library spiraling upward without a visible ceiling, bookshelves curving inward following impossible non-Euclidean architecture, warm amber light emanating from inside the books themselves rather than any external light fixtures, a small solitary figure reading on the floor in the lower center for scale, warm amber, mahogany, and pale gold tones, atmosphere dense with the weight of accumulated knowledge, shot with ultra-wide lens

High-resolution abstract digital painting featuring vivid colors in constant fluid motion, layered textured brush strokes creating depth and movement, inspired by the emotional intensity of Van Gogh's swirling skies merged with the chaotic energy of Jackson Pollock's drip technique, deep blues bleeding into fiery oranges and electric purples, thick impasto texture visible throughout

Abstract macro of layered peeling paint on an old iron surfa

Abstract macro of layered peeling paint on an old iron surface revealing geological-like strata — deep cobalt blue outermost layer, then mint green, then cream, then raw rust beneath — layers separating and curling like mountain ranges, extreme close-up where paint becomes landscape, sharp foreground focus falling to softer depth behind, cobalt, mint, cream, and iron rust palette

Transform this photograph into an oil painting with visible

Transform this photograph into an oil painting with visible thick brushstrokes, rich impasto paint texture, and slightly exaggerated warm colors. Maintain the exact same composition, subject placement, and facial features. The painting style should reference late impressionism with bold confident brush work.

FAQ

Working with Image prompts

What makes a good %{model} prompt?

A useful %{model} prompt names the subject, style, constraints, and output intent clearly. The examples here are short enough to copy, but specific enough for an agent or backend job to preserve the generation goal.

Can I reuse these prompts across models?

Often, yes. Start with a prompt in this modality, then adjust model-specific fields such as aspect ratio, duration, voice settings, or style controls. The detail page shows any saved parameters next to the prompt text.

Where do I find the right model slug?

Every card shows the RunAPI model slug. Open the model page when you want only examples for one model, or follow the model catalog link for pricing and capability details before making a request.

Can agents call these prompts directly?

Yes. After installing the RunAPI MCP Server, paste the agent instruction from a prompt detail page. The page keeps the prompt text, model slug, and endpoint path together so the agent has enough context.
