The prompt behind this image
Copy the exact prompt behind Dark Gothic Cinematic Illustration from Reference, or open it in the studio and make it yours.
{ "prompt": "Use the uploaded image strictly as an identity reference. Preserve 100% exact face match, facial structure, expressions, skin tone, hairstyle, and identity of every person visible in the reference image. Do not add or remove any person. Create a dark art / gothic cinematic pose (for example: standing in shadows, dramatic side profile, intense forward gaze, slow powerful posture) while keeping anatomy natural. Style the subjects in gothic-inspired luxury outfits—long coats, dark fabrics, leather, subtle metallic details—without changing facial identity. Convert the scene into a cinematic illustration blended with clean vector art. Use bold shadows, high contrast, sharp silhouettes, textured gradients, and subtle grain-like artistic shading (not noise) for a dramatic gothic poster feel. Lighting should be low-key cinematic lighting with strong rim light or top light creating depth and mystery. Color palette should be dark and rich—{argument name="color palette" default="black, deep crimson, burgundy, charcoal, muted gold accents"}. Background should be a dark abstract or gothic architectural setting simplified into layered vector forms with fog or smoke elements. Render in ultra high resolution with crisp edges, dramatic contrast, and a polished dark cinematic finish.", "negative_prompt": "face mismatch, identity change, extra person, missing person, horror gore, anime exaggeration, chibi, wrong facial features, wrong skin tone, bad anatomy, extra fingers, extra limbs, flat lighting, photorealism, low quality, blur, noise, grain, watermark, logo, text", "style": "dark gothic cinematic illustration + vector art", "mood": "mysterious, intense, dramatic", "lighting": "low-key cinematic lighting with rim highlights", "background": "dark abstract or gothic vector backdrop", "detail_level": "high dramatic detail", "render_quality": "ultra high resolution, cinematic poster clarity", "composition": "same persons, new intense gothic pose", "reference_strength": 0.9 }
