Prompt Instruction Payload
DARK MONARCH — CINEMATIC PORTRAIT WITH REAL FACE IDENTITY LOCK
MAIN INSTRUCTION
Use my uploaded personal photograph as the ONLY source of my facial identity. Use the second reference image only for its artistic style, low-angle pose, dramatic lighting, glowing red eyes, white facial markings, black cloak, and pure black background.
Create an ultra-realistic, high-contrast, monochrome dark-anime cinematic portrait in vertical 9:16 smartphone wallpaper format.
1. FACE IDENTITY — ABSOLUTE PRIORITY
Preserve my real face from my original photograph as accurately as possible. The person in the final image must remain recognizably me, not a fictional character.
Preserve my original:
- Forehead shape, hairline, and head proportions.
- Eyebrow shape, eye shape, eyelids, and eye spacing.
- Nose bridge, nose width, tip, and nostrils.
- Natural lips, mouth shape, jawline, chin, and cheeks.
- Ears, natural skin tone, facial hair, and hair characteristics.
- Natural facial asymmetry, distinctive features, and realistic skin texture.
Do not redesign, beautify, slim, enlarge, or artificially reshape my facial features. Do not replace my face with an anime character's face.
Keep my face photorealistic and use stylization primarily for lighting, shadows, costume, markings, and atmosphere.
My original face must take priority over the reference character's facial design.
2. HAIRSTYLE
Preserve my original hairline, hair density, and recognizable hairstyle. Give the hair a slightly wind-swept, textured appearance with individual strands and sharp silver-white highlights.
Add dramatic spiky definition only where it naturally suits my original hair. Do not change the shape of my head or invent a completely different hairstyle.
3. EXPRESSION AND CAMERA ANGLE
Create a calm, intimidating, confident expression with a slightly raised chin and a controlled, focused gaze.
Use a low-angle camera perspective, looking slightly upward toward the face. Position the head near the vertical center and turn it only slightly if necessary to maintain recognizable facial proportions.
Keep the nose, jaw, eyes, lips, and ears anatomically accurate. Avoid exaggerated anime facial proportions.
4. SUPERNATURAL EYES
Give both eyes a subtle crimson-red glow.
Keep the original eye shape, size, spacing, and eyelid structure unchanged. Use a small, luminous red iris with restrained highlights and a faint surrounding glow.
The eyes should look mysterious and cinematic, not oversized, cartoonish, or unnaturally reshaped.
5. GLOWING WHITE FACIAL MARKINGS
Add elegant, symmetrical, supernatural white markings inspired by the reference image.
Place a small geometric emblem on the center of the forehead, delicate angular markings along both cheeks, and a few narrow white strokes around the chin.
Make the markings appear luminous, sharp, and integrated with the facial contours. They should follow the natural anatomy without covering the eyes, nose, or mouth.
Do not alter the underlying face to accommodate the markings.
6. BLACK CLOAK AND HAND POSE
Dress me in a voluminous black high-collar cloak with multiple layered folds and a mysterious, elegant silhouette.
Use realistic dark fabric, deep black shadows, subtle silver highlights, and sharp edges around the collar.
Position one hand naturally near my chin, with the fingers gently curved and anatomically correct. Preserve realistic finger lengths, joints, fingernails, and skin texture.
Keep the hand relaxed rather than clenched. Add a dark wrist wrap if it complements the composition.
7. PURE BLACK BACKGROUND
Create a nearly pure black background with extensive negative space in the upper portion of the image.
Add very subtle drifting particles, faint atmospheric haze, and minimal smoke near the lower sides of the portrait.
Keep the background uncluttered. The character should emerge from darkness, with no visible scenery, buildings, or unnecessary objects.
8. CINEMATIC LIGHTING
Use a strict monochrome palette of black, charcoal, silver, and white, with crimson red reserved for the eyes.
Apply dramatic rim lighting along the hair, ears, shoulders, fingers, and cloak.
Use soft silver highlights on the forehead, nose bridge, cheekbones, and lips, with deep but detailed shadows across the face.
Preserve realistic skin texture and natural facial structure. Avoid plastic skin, excessive smoothing, and completely crushed facial shadows.
9. COMPOSITION
- Vertical 9:16 smartphone wallpaper.
- Low-angle, head-and-shoulders portrait.
- Character centered horizontally in the lower-middle portion.
- Large empty black space above the head.
- Head slightly tilted upward.
- Hand resting naturally near the chin.
- High-collar black cloak filling the bottom portion.
- Glowing red eyes and white facial markings.
- Sharp subject separation from the black background.
- Dramatic monochrome contrast with subtle red accents.
10. PHOTOREALISM AND QUALITY
Premium cinematic portrait photography, realistic human anatomy, detailed skin texture, individual hair strands, natural facial proportions, realistic hands, intricate black fabric folds, controlled supernatural effects, dramatic chiaroscuro lighting, fine film grain, deep blacks, silver-white highlights, and sophisticated dark-fantasy poster aesthetics.
The result should combine my real facial identity with the atmosphere of the reference image without turning my face into a different person or a fully illustrated anime character.
NEGATIVE PROMPT
Different person, identity replacement, fictional face, altered facial proportions, reshaped nose, different jawline, enlarged eyes, changed eye spacing, artificial facial hair, different hairline, plastic skin, beauty filter, excessive smoothing, exaggerated anime face, distorted hands, extra fingers, malformed anatomy, oversized glowing eyes, excessive red glow, messy facial markings, bright background, colorful scenery, text, watermark, logo, blurry face, low resolution.
FINAL PRIORITY
Use my original photo as the identity reference and the second image as the visual-style reference. Preserve my actual facial structure, recognizable features, natural skin texture, and hairstyle as closely as possible. Recreate the dark cloak, upward-looking pose, red glowing eyes, luminous white facial markings, dramatic silver lighting, and black background.
Change the styling and atmosphere, not my identity. Facial resemblance is more important than the anime effect.
Insert discreet watermark in the lower right corner of the image, vertical text (rotated 90°), written "aipromptlabs.online", Calibri Light font, white color with low opacity (semi-transparent), medium size. Extreme sharpness on the face, fabric texture and typography of the letters. Shot on Canon EOS R5, 50mm f/2.8, studio light.
