Sample Prompt

Create a vertical 9:16 cinematic photorealistic street scene in Manhattan, shot from a low angle on the steps of the New York Public Library Main Branch on an overcast, blustery afternoon. In the foreground, place a lone tactical survivor, {argument name="character name" default="unnamed man"}, sitting exhausted on the stone steps, wearing all-black urban combat clothing: dark jacket, tactical vest, gloves, cargo pants, backpack straps, and a sheathed katana or long sword strapped vertically over his back. His face should be obscured by a flat dark rectangular censor block, while his black hair and ears remain partly visible. The library facade fills the right side: tall Beaux-Arts columns, arched entrance, carved stone details, steps, and a fortified barricade of tan sandbags stacked beside boarded-up wooden doors. The left side opens into a long avenue canyon of tall New York buildings, abandoned cars, scattered debris, dust in the air, and a damaged or overturned dark vehicle in the midground. Use muted gray daylight, cold desaturated colors, gritty realism, slight haze, dramatic depth, documentary-style composition, and a silent post-crisis atmosphere. Include exactly one seated survivor, one visible sword, one sandbag barricade, one boarded entrance, multiple abandoned vehicles in the background, and no readable added text or logos.
