Prompt 1:

Use This:

"A dramatic, high-fashion portrait of a stylish man with a bold, edgy attitude. He has black hair and wears narrow, dark sunglasses with gold accents, partially obscuring his intense gaze. His hand, heavily tattooed with intricate lettering and symbols, is raised in front of his face in a striking pose, showcasing a luxurious, oversized gold watch. He wears a dark olive-green blazer over a rich red knit sweater, with a patterned pocket square adding a touch of sophistication."

Prompt 2:

Use This:

"Transform the uploaded image into a 64K DSLR resolution portrait of a highly detailed and realistic young king (use the same face as the uploaded image) with a regal and wise expression, emerging dramatically from a large, cracked playing card of the King of Spades. The king has short hair and a well-groomed beard, wearing an ornate, gold-embellished crown. He is dressed in luxurious, richly patterned robes with intricate gold and red designs, draped over his shoulders. His right arm extends forward in a powerful, commanding gesture, while his left arm rests at his side, revealing detailed fabrics and jewelry (no tattoos). The background features a dark gradient tone, emphasizing contrast and dramatic lighting. The playing card is textured with a realistic stone-like appearance, and the cracked edges reveal debris and dust falling, as if the king is breaking free from the card. The overall composition should evoke grandeur, fantasy, and authority. The image should be rendered with Octane and Unreal Engine 5 for high-quality realism."

Prompt 3:

Use This:

"Transform the uploaded image into a 64K DSLR resolution, dark, atmospheric scene featuring a man (use the same face as the uploaded image) with short dark hair and a well-groomed beard, holding a flaming skull mask in front of his face. The man is dressed in black clothing and wearing a black glove on his hand. Behind him are two faceless mannequins with smooth, featureless, pale white faces, symmetrically positioned on either side. The background is dark and moody, with a subtle smoky or misty ambiance. The flaming skull mask is detailed, with realistic bone textures and glowing orange flames emanating from the top, casting an eerie glow on the scene. The overall tone is mysterious, intense, and slightly sinister. The image should be rendered using Octane and Unreal Engine 5 for high-quality realism."

Prompt 4:

Use This:

"Create an image of a young man (use the same face as the uploaded image) standing in profile against a dark wall, head bowed, with hands in his pockets. He is wearing a white jacket and black pants. A dramatic shaft of warm light creates the illusion of a large, detailed angel wing shadow extending from his shadow on the wall. The scene is minimalist and cinematic, with high contrast chiaroscuro lighting, soft rim lighting on his hair and shoulders, and a clean textured wall catching the glow. The overall atmosphere should be moody, with a strong emphasis on light and shadow."

Prompt 5:

Use This:

"Create an ultra-realistic full-body portrait photograph of a man sitting on a black chair in front of a matte black wall with Baroque architectural ornamentation. The man is captured in a side-profile pose, adjusting his sleeve with subtle elegance, not looking directly at the camera. He wears a black striped blazer, a black matte shirt with black cufflinks, black straight-fit classy pants, and black Chelsea boots. Accessories include transparent black-framed aviator-style eyeglasses. His expression is bold and mysterious, with refined confidence. The lens has a thin layer of oil, creating a dreamy effect with slightly blurry, soft edges while maintaining super-crisp facial and outfit details. The lighting emphasizes texture and realism, with QuadHD or higher resolution, extreme facial accuracy, and photo-realistic skin tones. The composition should show enough space around the subject to reveal the ornate Baroque environment, keeping the subject as the centerpiece. Include natural specks and imperfections for authenticity, without removing them."

Prompt 6:

Use This:

"Create an image of a young man sitting in shallow water surrounded by many golden koi fish, wearing a vintage floral suit with a bow tie, seated in front of an old weathered piano partially submerged in the water. The atmosphere is misty, with cloudy skies and soft cinematic lighting. The composition should have an artistic tone, with detailed textures and hyperrealistic, melancholic elements. The man's expression is emotional, and the scene is captured with shallow depth of field, fine art photography style, and cinematic color grading. The overall mood is soft and dreamlike. Ensure the image has ultra-high resolution and photorealistic quality. Negative Prompt: "low quality, blurry, cartoon, illustration, distortion, watermark, text, overexposed, underexposed, extra limbs, unrealistic lighting, poorly rendered face, deformed body"
