View full prompt & copy

A cinematic, photorealistic portrait of a beautiful young Asian woman standing in profile on a wet stone path at a Japanese shrine at night. She has long, flowing dark hair adorned with a red floral kanzashi hair ornament and is wearing a traditional navy blue kimono featuring delicate silver-grey floral patterns and a deep crimson obi sash tied at the back. In her hand, she holds a white kitsune (fox) mask with red markings against her side. The background features a large wooden torii gate illuminated by neon lights, with a temple structure visible further back under a full moon.

Cinematic Dark Fantasy Survival Portrait
View full prompt & copy

Hyper-realistic IMAX-level Netflix-style cinematic dark fantasy survival portrait, 9:16 vertical. Use the uploaded image as the primary visual reference and preserve the exact facial identity, proportions, and defining features. Create a woman wearing a soaked light-grey fitted tank top with thin straps and matching shorts, a delicate gold necklace with small pendants and subtle earrings. She lies prone in shallow, turbulent water, her chest slightly lifted on bent elbows, torso angled diagonally toward the right and hips and legs trailing behind her. Both arms stretch forward toward the camera, palms pressing against the wet rocky ground and fingers spread naturally; her shoulders are tense as she struggles forward through the water. Her face is lifted toward the camera, with wide grey-green eyes, slightly raised and drawn-together brows, and softly parted lips conveying fear, exhaustion and urgent alertness. Her long, dark chestnut-brown hair is completely wet, tangled into separated strands that cling across her forehead, cheeks, neck and shoulders, with loose sections trailing along the water. Use fair natural skin with realistic pores, damp highlights and tiny water droplets across her face, arms and shoulders. Behind her, create a vast moonlit alien shoreline with jagged black rocks, crashing silver waves, dense rolling fog and an enormous skeletal, spider-like creature looming through the distant mountains, its tiny cyan eyes glowing through the darkness beneath a bright full moon. Use cold moonlight from the upper right, icy blue rim lighting, silver reflections across the water and faint cyan illumination from the creature. Apply a desaturated steel-blue and charcoal colour grade with deep blacks, cool highlights, restrained saturation and subtle cinematic grain, contrasted by natural skin tones and sharp wet-surface reflections. Maintain realistic water physics, with ripples and foam surrounding her body and reflections following the moonlight. Negative prompt: altered identity, incorrect body alignment, floating limbs, distorted hands, extra fingers, dry hair, artificial water, excessive glow, text, watermark.

Fire and Ice Tectonic Portrait
View full prompt & copy

A hyper-realistic fantasy portrait of a beautiful young woman with long, flowing blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. Her skin is cracked like dry earth or tectonic plates, revealing glowing molten lava beneath the fissures on her left side (viewer's left). She wears a dress made entirely of jagged, floating rock fragments that glow with intense red magma light from within. Beside her stands a majestic white tiger, its fur patterned with black stripes that resemble cracks in stone. The tiger's body is also composed of fractured rock segments, emitting a cold, electric blue energy from the gaps. The background is split diagonally: the left side features erupting volcanoes, ash clouds, and fiery debris, while the right side shows icy glaciers, snow-covered peaks, and swirling mist.

Anime Character Behind Real Subject Prompt
View full prompt & copy

Transform the main subject into a realistic photographic scene featuring a small full-body anime/cartoon version of the same person positioned directly behind them. SUBJECT PRESERVATION: Keep the real subject completely unchanged. Preserve their exact identity, facial features, hairstyle, clothing, accessories, body proportions, pose, position, framing and recognizable details. Do not modify the original subject. ANIME CHARACTER: Create a small full-body anime/cartoon version of the same subject. Match the original hairstyle, outfit, accessories, colors and recognizable visual details precisely. Use a clean modern anime aesthetic with sharp controlled linework, slightly oversized head, compact body proportions, expressive facial details and subtle cel shading. The character should clearly resemble the original subject while remaining intentionally stylized. POSITION & ACTION: Place the anime character directly behind the real subject, naturally aligned with the original body position. The anime character is holding a flashlight with both hands and aiming it forward toward the subject's back. LIGHTING: Create an intense, realistic white flashlight beam originating from behind the subject. The beam should visibly illuminate the subject from the rear, creating strong natural rim lighting along the silhouette, subtle atmospheric glow and realistic light spill across the surrounding environment. Add controlled volumetric light within the beam, with a soft falloff rather than an artificial solid cone. The illuminated edges should glow naturally without creating excessive bloom. ENVIRONMENT: Slightly dim the existing outdoor ambient light to create stronger cinematic contrast while preserving the original environment, colors, textures and lighting logic. Keep the background realistic and photographic. SHADOWS & DEPTH: Create physically believable shadows based on the flashlight direction. Maintain realistic contact shadows, light falloff and depth between the anime character, real subject and environment. COMPOSITION LOCK: Preserve the original camera angle, perspective, framing, spatial arrangement and overall composition. Do not move, crop, replace, add or remove environmental elements except for the anime character and its flashlight. STYLE: Photorealistic outdoor photography combined with a clean modern anime character integration. The anime character should look intentionally illustrated while the real subject and environment remain fully photographic. Seamless lighting interaction between the stylized character and the real-world scene. QUALITY: Ultra-realistic lighting, cinematic contrast, realistic white light, natural rim glow, subtle volumetric atmosphere, detailed textures, sharp subject separation, high dynamic range, professional photography, 4K. DO NOT: Do not alter the real subject's identity, face, hairstyle, clothing, accessories, pose or proportions. Do not turn the real subject

Use the uploaded image as the primary visual reference and preserve the exact facial identity, proportions, and defining features.

Her long, voluminous chestnut-brown hair with caramel highlights streams dynamically toward the right, with loose windswept strands framing her face and flying around her shoulders. Use natural warm beige skin tones with realistic texture and subtle highlights. Surround her with a giant black smartphone frame and suspended glass shards bursting outward, against a dark teal and cyan-lit background.

Eastern Minimalist Gongbi Style Prompts for GPT Image 2
View full prompt & copy

[Character / Subject], Gongbi fine-line illustration × Eastern allegorical narrative × Japanese painting-style dense biological description. The subject is shaped with extremely fine ink lines and transparent light washes; skin, hands, hair, or fabrics are depicted with high-density directional fine lines, precise in detail but maintaining overall flatness. The background uses a large area of single cinnabar red or other high-purity Eastern comprehensive color fields, establishing no real spatial perspective. The scene revolves around a highly explicit symbolic action, such as touching the forehead, handing over an object, pointing, stroking, or bowing, letting the action itself carry spirituality or allegory. Add cyan-green, gold, swirling clouds, Ruyi patterns, or classical borders to parts of the clothing, forming a visual fusion between Gongbi figure painting and modern minimalist posters.
