New to Dall E - need prompt help and a mentor :-)

[topaz cloak]

Dear Dall-E Community,

For the past few months, I've been falling in love with and exploring the potential of creative AI, and I'm finally on the verge of being able to tell stories as a gamer that have been floating in my thoughts for a long time.

With ChatGPT and Elevenlabs, I've taken my first steps into Empire at War storytelling and want to expand the short videos with anime cutscenes for a specific war-critical atmosphere in a Military Sci-fi narrative, situated between Star Wars Rogue Squadron and Ace Combat.

Here are three images. The firsttwo showcases my attempt at Dall-E anime art featuring two Rebel Alliance pilots. Despite trying various text prompts, I haven't quite captured the artistic style of Masato Natsumoto yet, and I hope to find supporters in this community who can assist me in finding the right prompts.

The goal is to recreate the third image in a 1-to-1 homage to Ace Combat and Masato Natsumoto's style. How could I reach close results of the more mature anime look of 20th century anime alike Ace Combat4?

I look forward to learning from all of you.

The prompt used for the first one:

Mature 20th century anime style with a slight blurry CRT effect, now enhanced with hand-drawn aesthetics: Two pilot brothers sitting lonely in a mess hall - Retaining the somber and reflective mood, with detailed and worn uniforms - Subtle interaction indicating a deep bond - The surroundings of a 1940s military mess hall, quiet and understated - Soft lighting casting long shadows, emphasizing solitude - Subdued color palette typical of late 20th-century anime - Blurry CRT effect for nostalgia, with added hand-drawn textures and lines

Mature 20th century anime style with a slight blurry CRT effect: 1940s US military pilots portrayed in an anime format reminiscent of the late 20th century, capturing the essence of the era - Detailed uniforms and aircraft, expressions of determination and camaraderie - Blurry CRT television effect to evoke a sense of nostalgia and age - Subdued color palette typical of anime from that period - Emphasis on dynamic poses and interactions among pilots - Setting: an airfield with vintage aircraft in the background

Mature 20th century anime style; slight CRT effect | On vintage TV screen texture: A scene from the 1940s - US military pilots in uniform - The pilots stand near their aircraft on an airfield; one of them points towards the sky - The essence of 1940s aviation and military attire captured in anime - The slight blur and graininess of an old CRT TV screen adds nostalgia and authenticity - Lighting akin to a bright, clear day - The angle suggests a viewer watching the scene unfold on an old television set

I find that the earlier you mention an effect, the more likely it is to obey it.
