DARK SHADOW WARRIOR — BLACK & CRIMSON CINEMATIC PORTRAIT

STRICT REAL FACE IDENTITY AND ORIGINAL EXPRESSION PRESERVATION

Use my original uploaded photograph as the ONLY source of my real facial identity. Use the reference image only for the composition, messy dark hairstyle aesthetic, dramatic close-up, black cloak, glowing crimson atmosphere, monochrome textures, and dark cinematic lighting.

Create an ultra-detailed, photorealistic vertical 9:16 portrait inspired by the dark shadow-warrior aesthetic of the reference image.

1. FACE AND IDENTITY — ABSOLUTE PRIORITY

My real face must remain as close as possible to my original photograph.

- Preserve my natural facial structure, eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, jawline, cheeks, ears, skin tone, facial hair, and facial proportions.
- Preserve my exact original facial expression, gaze direction, eyelid shape, eyebrow position, and mouth position.
- Do not copy the anime character's angry stare, narrowed eyes, smirk, or facial proportions.
- Do not replace, redraw, regenerate, beautify, smooth, or stylize my face.
- Preserve my natural skin texture, pores, facial hair, age, and recognizable identity.
- Keep my face photorealistic, as if photographed with a real camera.

My real face and original expression are more important than matching the reference character.

2. COMPOSITION AND CAMERA ANGLE

Create a dramatic, tightly framed portrait from the upper chest to the head.

Position me slightly off-center, with my head turned naturally toward the camera. Use a close-up three-quarter angle inspired by the reference composition.

Place the upper part of my face near the center of the frame. Let the dark clothing rise naturally toward the lower part of my face, creating a mysterious silhouette without hiding my identity.

Use a cinematic portrait lens effect, shallow depth of field, and sharp focus on my real facial features.

3. HAIR AND STYLING

Preserve my original hairstyle, hairline, forehead shape, and recognizable appearance.

Introduce subtle wind-swept strands and dark, textured styling inspired by the reference image. Keep the hairstyle believable for my real hair.

Use fine silver-grey highlights on individual strands to separate the hair from the dark background.

Do not change my hairline, head shape, or facial proportions.

4. CLOTHING

Dress me in a heavy black high-collar coat or dark cloak with layered fabric and a dramatic silhouette.

Use realistic black fabric, detailed folds, textured seams, and subtle charcoal-grey highlights.

Let the collar partially frame the lower face, but do not cover my mouth, nose, or other facial features unless absolutely necessary.

The clothing must look like a real garment worn by a real person, not an anime costume illustration.

5. EYES AND CRIMSON ENERGY

Create a deep crimson-red supernatural glow in the surrounding atmosphere.

If an eye-glow effect is used, keep it extremely subtle and realistic. Do not enlarge, reshape, recolor, or replace my natural eyes. Prefer a red reflection around the eye area rather than an artificial glowing pupil.

Add small red embers and delicate crimson light streaks around the edges of the frame.

Keep all effects secondary to my face.

6. BACKGROUND AND ATMOSPHERE

Create a distressed monochrome background with smoky white-grey textures, charcoal-black shadows, subtle ink splashes, and weathered surface details.

Use deep blacks across one side of the composition and a soft misty grey glow on the opposite side.

Add sparse glowing crimson particles drifting through the air, with a few fine red streaks in the foreground.

Create a mysterious, intense dark-fantasy atmosphere without adding distracting objects, logos, or text.

7. LIGHTING AND COLOR GRADING

Use a sophisticated palette of pure black, charcoal grey, silver-white, and deep crimson red.

Apply dramatic side lighting to reveal my real facial structure without altering it. Add delicate silver rim lighting around my hair and shoulders.

Keep my natural skin tone recognizable beneath the monochrome grading. Preserve realistic shadows, skin texture, and natural highlights.

Use cinematic contrast, subtle film grain, atmospheric depth, and premium editorial photography quality.

8. PHOTOREALISTIC QUALITY

Ultra-realistic portrait photography, authentic facial identity, original expression, natural skin pores, realistic facial hair, detailed dark clothing, physically believable lighting, monochrome dark-fantasy aesthetic, subtle crimson accents, sharp facial focus, realistic shadows, high dynamic range, premium cinematic smartphone wallpaper.

Format: Vertical 9:16, high resolution.

NEGATIVE PROMPT

Different person, changed identity, altered facial expression, angry expression, forced smirk, changed gaze, narrowed eyes, enlarged eyes, altered nose, different lips, changed jawline, anime face, cartoon face, face swap, regenerated face, illustrated skin, plastic skin, beauty filter, skin smoothing, artificial facial hair, unnatural hairline, distorted head, excessive red skin, completely hidden face, excessive eye glow, extra limbs, deformed anatomy, blurry face, oversharpening, watermark, logo, unwanted text, low resolution.

FINAL REQUIREMENT

The final image must look like a real photograph of ME wearing a dark, high-collar outfit, surrounded by a black-and-crimson cinematic atmosphere inspired by the reference image.

Preserve my original face, exact expression, gaze, hairstyle, facial hair, natural skin texture, and recognizable identity as closely as the editing system allows.

Transform the clothing, background, lighting, and atmospheric effects without intentionally changing my face.

REAL FACE. ORIGINAL EXPRESSION. BLACK & CRIMSON AESTHETIC. NO FACE REPLACEMENT.
