Whimsical Halloween illustration of a golden retriever pirate captain with skeleton face paint on a ship with ghosts, pumpkins, and a full moon.

Refined Illustration Prompt: A golden retriever puppy transformed into a spooky skeleton pirate captain. His fur is painted with glowing white skeleton markings, like Halloween face paint, with a playful yet eerie skull design across his face (skull nose, glowing eye sockets, bony jaw lines). He wears a tattered pirate coat with bones stitched into it, a ragged pirate hat with a paw-print skull emblem, and he wields a small toy cutlass. He stands at the helm of his ghostly pirate ship made from a sofa, with a mast and sail (a shirt painted with a spooky sigil), and paper chain rigging. The wheel is a plate turned into a skeletal helm. Around him are his ghostly crewmates: A skeleton crab with a peg-leg claw. A floating wisp ghost with a candy-corn lantern. A puffball ghost pirate with a marshmallow beard. A tiny skeletal mouse with a toothpick sword. A glowing jack-o’-lantern lookout with a spyglass. The scene is stylized like a whimsical Halloween painting — glowing fog, jack-o’-lantern buoys in the water, ghost-bats circling overhead, and the full moon casting a spooky but magical light.
