- Creature Design: Be specific with monsters. Use terms like “Demogorgon flower-head,” “Mind Flayer shadow silhouette,” or “wet organic vines” to get the texture right.
- Setting the Scene: Anchor your image with locations like “Starcourt Mall neon,” “Hawkins Lab hallway,” “Byers’ living room with Christmas lights,” or “The Void (black water floor).”
