[SUBJECT] = use the uploaded reference image as the sole subject and identity anchor [SHOT_TYPE] = head_portrait | bust_portrait | half_body | full_body [UNIFIED_MOOD] = primal_dark | primal_sacred | primal_feral | primal_earthbound | refined_dark | refined_sacred | refined_mystic | refined_celestial | ascetic_ritual | shamanic_ancient | monolithic_icon | forgotten_deity [COLOR_THEME] = obsidian_ash | bone_ochre | rust_clay | moss_stone | ivory_gold | charcoal_crimson | indigo_smoke | jade_sand | alabaster_silver | umber_shadow Make a high-resolution portrait intended for artistic and editorial use. Set the camera framing and crop strictly according to [SHOT_TYPE]. Use the uploaded reference image as the sole identity source. Preserve facial identity and likeness so the subject is clearly recognizable as the same person. Allow transformation only through paint, texture, adornment, lighting, and mood. Use a neutral, unobtrusive background with subtle texture. Render the subject as a symbolic, ceremonial figure shaped by [UNIFIED_MOOD]. Apply ritualistic markings, glyphs, and surface textures consistent with [UNIFIED_MOOD]. Maintain realistic human anatomy and natural proportions. Use lighting and contrast to reinforce [UNIFIED_MOOD]. Apply [COLOR_THEME] consistently across the entire image. Compose the frame so the subject remains the dominant focal presence. Ensure the final image feels iconic, timeless, and cinematically powerful. Avoid facial distortion, identity drift, modern fashion elements, sci-fi aesthetics, text overlays, watermarks.
