Copy-ready prompt
Create a 9:16 vertical epic cinematic dark fantasy scene set in New York Harbor at dusk, viewed from the upper deck of the abandoned and rusty Staten Island Ferry. The foreground shows the orange ferry structure with corroded railings, dark rectangular windows, peeling paint, and the numbers "1553" and partially visible large black letters "Staten Island." A solitary adult male figure stands on the upper deck, his face deliberately hidden in shadow/blur, wearing a dark hooded raincoat or cloak with a slung over his shoulder, revealing the hilt of a samurai sword behind his shoulder, creating an atmosphere of a post-apocalyptic survivor. The midground water is turbulent and dark, scattered with floating debris, broken docks, small wreckage, and narrow piers with tiny human silhouettes. The background shows the Lower Manhattan skyline as a dark silhouette, including One World Trade Center on the right and the dense skyscrapers on the horizon. The sky was filled with dramatic, overcast storm clouds, while a soft orange sunset glow shone behind the buildings, blending deep blue, charcoal gray, purple, and ember hues. Employing realistic photographic details, cinematic color grading, high contrast, a melancholic atmosphere, wide-angle perspective, low-saturation tones, and a touch of fog, it rejects clean modernity, bright sunlight, and cartoonish style.
