Fantasy Art — Side-by-Side Results
Prompt
"A fantasy art illustration of a 20s woman with wavy chestnut hair in a casual oversized hoodie and leggings, holding her phone at arm’s length for a candid selfie while looking near the camera with a relaxed half-smile. She’s in a cozy modern café, but the latte art glows with runes and a tiny perched dragon breathes faint sparkles over the cup; behind her, a cloaked elf barista and enchanted hanging plants softly shimmer in natural window light. Selfie-style phone-camera perspective, authentic Instagram story vibe, everyday setting blended with epic magical glow effects and subtle mythic details."
