Totem Builder (Variant 2) prompt text

Copy & paste

[HEAD_1] = Spider-Man [HEAD_2] = Captain America [HEAD_3] = Black Widow [HEAD_4] = Deadpool [HEAD_5] = Use the provided reference image as a strict facial identity guide. Preserve the exact facial proportions, structure, and recognizable features from the reference image. Make a high-resolution photorealistic image for artistic and cultural visualization. Set the camera slightly farther back and higher than eye level with a gentle elevated perspective. Use a subtle upward angle that captures the full height and wingspan of the subject. Show a tall vertical wooden totem fully visible from base to top. Place the totem outdoors in a lush green natural environment. Carve the totem from a single continuous natural wooden trunk. Form the totem exclusively from five stacked human heads. Arrange the heads vertically from bottom to top as [HEAD_1], [HEAD_2], [HEAD_3], [HEAD_4], [HEAD_5]. Use the provided reference image as a strict facial identity guide for each head. Preserve exact facial proportions, structure, and recognizable features from the reference. Translate each face into a realistic hand-carved wooden form without exaggeration or stylization. Apply a unified Indigenous-inspired carving style across all heads. Render realistic human proportions with defined brows, deep-set eyes, prominent noses, carved lips, and clear cheekbones. Set all expressions to neutral with open eyes, closed mouths, and relaxed facial tension. Orient all faces forward with slight individual head tilts. Attach large symmetrical carved wings to the upper section of the totem. Carve the wings from the same wood with layered feather patterns. Paint all heads and wings with vivid traditional colors including turquoise blue, red, black, white, yellow, and earthy brown. Apply bold geometric patterns while preserving visible wood grain, chisel marks, minor cracks, and natural weathering. Light the scene with clear daylight and even natural sunlight. Ensure surrounding greenery is visible to reinforce scale and context. Ensure the final image feels iconic, timeless, and cinematically powerful. Avoid fantasy elements, abstraction, modern materials, watermarks, text overlays, unpainted heads. [STYLE REFINEMENT VARIANT 2]: Rendering variation: Captured with 85mm prime lens at f/1.4 for cinematic optical separation, soft directional lighting with gentle fill roll-off, maintaining complete consistency with the core subject and stylistic integrity.
