Epic fantasy landscape of [SCENE, e.g. a floating island with waterfalls pouring into clouds], [TIME, e.g. golden hour], tiny figure of a traveller on a cliff for scale, dramatic volumetric light rays, highly detailed matte painting, rich colours, wide cinematic composition.

Negative prompt: blurry, low detail, text, watermark, signature, oversaturated, duplicate objects, frame

Settings: 1344x768 (16:9), 30-40 steps, CFG 6-7

Edit in the builder

Add a small figure for scale. It makes the landscape feel huge.

What you will get

A wide cinematic fantasy landscape with your scene at the time of day you chose, a tiny traveller on a cliff for scale, dramatic light rays and rich painterly detail at 1344 by 768.

Common mistake

Duplicate objects or repeating shapes appear.

Fix: Keep “duplicate objects” in the negative prompt, and lower the steps or change the seed. Large scenes often repeat towers or peaks.

Also watch for

The traveller is too large and the scale is lost. Follow the tip and say “tiny, less than 2% of the frame height”. A very small figure sells the size of the scene.
The picture looks washed out or oversaturated. Check the CFG. Around 6 to 7 balances colour and detail. Higher values push colours too hard.

Try a variation: vertical wallpaper

Change the size to 768 by 1344 and ask for “a tall composition, with the waterfall in the centre and clouds filling the top”. Useful as a phone wallpaper.

Still not right? Add this and run it again

Same scene and settings. Add a distant mountain range in haze, keep the traveller tiny and reduce the colour saturation.
