Sample prompts
- Prompt 1: Create an ultra-realistic, high-resolution cinematic digital illustration of the person in the reference photo. Preserve the exact facial identity, lips, smile, hairstyle, skin tone, expression, and body pose with zero distortion. Do not stylise or beautify the mouth or facial features. Transform the scene into a deep red, high-contrast Tamil gangster movie poster. Replace the background with crimson red gradients, smoky atmosphere, and subtle gritty textures, applied only to the environment. Apply bold comic-book shading, thick black outlines, dramatic contrast, strong black shadows, and glossy highlights on skin and clothing. Enhance the outfit with richer tones, clean fabric folds, and dynamic cinematic lighting while keeping the original clothing design intact. Add intense rim-lighting highlights on the jawline, cheekbones, shoulders, and body edges for a powerful cinematic look.
- Prompt 2: Generate a comic-book style, ultra-realistic digital illustration of the subject from the reference image. Maintain perfect facial accuracy- identical face structure, lips, smile, skin texture, hairstyle, expression, and pose. No facial enhancement, no distortion, no mouth changes. Convert the background into a dramatic Tamil gangster film aesthetic featuring deep red and black tones, crimson smoke, cinematic fog, and textured gradients, affecting the background only. Use graphic-novel shading, thick ink-style outlines, heavy shadows, and sharp contrast. Add glossy highlights to skin and clothing, with dynamic directional lighting. Stylise the outfit using deeper colour saturation and clean folds while preserving the original design. Emphasise high-impact highlights along the face contours, jawline, cheekbones, arms, and silhouette edges.
- Prompt 3: Create a hyper-detailed, high-resolution cinematic comic illustration of the person in the reference photo. Keep the exact face, lips, smile, hairstyle, skin tone, expression, and pose unchanged- absolute identity accuracy with zero beautification or stylisation of the mouth. Replace the background with a moody Tamil gangster movie poster environment featuring deep crimson reds, smoky haze, dramatic lighting, and textured gradients, applied strictly to the background. Apply bold comic-book aesthetics: thick outlines, strong black shadows, high contrast, and polished glossy highlights. Enhance the outfit with richer tones, sharp fabric definition, and cinematic lighting while keeping the clothing design original. Add intense rim light and edge highlights to the jawline, cheekbones, shoulders, and body contours for a striking poster-ready finish.
