Style prompt

The image has a cinematic, highly tactile finish built from close framing, shallow focus, and sharply separated warm and cool color. Dense dark areas recede behind a narrow band of luminous, textured form. Blue and teal modeling carries fine pores, scuffs, and engraved-looking lines; adjacent burgundy surfaces appear coarse and worn, with small reflective accents catching the light. Edges at the focal plane are crisp, then fall quickly into velvety blur and near-black negative space. Warm amber glints punctuate the cool dominant color without flattening its volume. Directional light skims raised surfaces and leaves soft, deep shadows in the recesses, giving the composition a sculptural weight. The overall treatment is dramatic but controlled, joining fantasy color with convincing material detail.

Full example prompt

A square, cinematic fantasy portrait shows a blue-skinned man from the upper chest upward against a dark, softly blurred background. His face occupies most of the center and right of the frame, with a lifted mass of brown hair touching the upper edge and a high burgundy collar framing his neck below. The background is nearly black; on the left, a few indistinct warm vertical shapes remain far behind him, giving a slight sense of depth without forming a readable setting. Small round glasses with thin gold-toned rims sit across the middle of his face. Their lenses are deep amber and catch reddish reflections, allowing only a subdued view of his eyes. Fine copper-colored temples angle outward toward his ears. The skin has a mottled cobalt and teal surface, with subtle raised texture and narrow etched marks along his cheek and forehead. A short, closely trimmed beard follows the jaw and mouth, where the expression remains firm and quiet. His coat has a thick, rough burgundy surface, worn highlights along its upright collar, and bands of small metallic plates over the shoulder at the lower left. A patterned scarf and a short necklace of warm brown beads appear in the narrow gap above the coat. The crop presses closely around the head and shoulders, turning the glasses, textured skin, and weathered fabric into the main visual evidence of the character. Directional warm light reaches the upper left of the hair, the rims of the glasses, and the coat edge; cooler light picks out the blue face while the far side falls into soft shadow. The overall composition sets vivid blue and burgundy against deep black, producing a tactile, dramatic portrait with a restrained expression.
