Case Notes

This page keeps the media, full prompt, and original source together so you can inspect the result first and decide whether the prompt is worth copying, saving, or comparing.

Case Insights

To make this page easier to search, cite, and reuse later, the case is also broken down into practical guidance about usage, visual cues, and prompt structure.

Best Fit Scenarios

  • Use this as a character design benchmark when you need a fast style baseline before rewriting your own prompt.
  • It is especially helpful if your target overlaps with Portrait, Cinematic, Fashion and you want to judge the image result before tuning wording.
  • Keep it as a control sample when you compare nearby prompt variants one variable at a time.

Visual Signals To Notice

  • The clearest style signals here are Portrait, Cinematic, Fashion, so those should usually stay in your first rewrite.
  • Look at silhouette, costume language, mood styling, and whether the character reads clearly at a glance.
  • This case keeps 2 media outputs, which makes it easier to check whether the style remains stable across multiple results.

How The Prompt Is Structured

  • The prompt reads as a long, highly specified prompt, which is useful when you want to judge how much specificity this direction needs.
  • Its keyword cluster is centered on Portrait, Cinematic, Fashion, so you can usually keep that cluster while swapping subject, camera, layout, or copy details.
  • A practical rewrite path is: keep the outcome, keep the strongest style cues, then replace only the subject and environment blocks.

Good Follow-up Questions

  • What changes first if you keep Portrait, Cinematic, Fashion but switch the subject matter?
  • Which part of the result comes from section-level structure (Character Design) versus tag-level style cues?
  • Which related cases in the same section give you a cleaner or more extreme variation of the same direction?

Full Prompt

Please generate a set of "Dark New Chinese High-end Portraits" based on the clear single-person portrait reference image I uploaded, a total of 9 images, all in 3:4 vertical composition, must generate 9 separate images individually, no nine-grid, no collage, no poster layout. ## Character Consistency Strictly preserve the real identity characteristics of the reference person: face shape, facial features proportions, eye shape, nose, lips, jawline, hairline, skin tone, age feeling, temperament, and overall recognizability. No face-swapping, no becoming a stranger, no internet celebrity face, no anime style, no plastic doll face. The reference image is only used for character identity; do not retain the coffee shop, daily clothes, paper cups, or daily life scenes from the original photo. ## Overall Style Dark New Chinese, black-gold Oriental aesthetics, gold foil bamboo shadow screens, dark red carpets, night cinematic feel, high-end fashion magazine blockbusters. The visual should be cold and glamorous, restrained, dangerous, noble, with a sense of Oriental suspense. The background is mainly gold foil textured screens, bamboo leaf projections, black gold borders, dark brown, and dark red transitions. No large areas of dead black, no flat painted gold, there must be mottled textures, light spots, and layers. ## Makeup, Hair, and Clothing Hairstyle: New Chinese high bun or low bun, with relaxed loose hairs, the bun embellished with red hairpins, dark red flower decorations, or fine hairpins. Makeup: Cold and glamorous fashion makeup, upturned black eyeliner, clear eyelashes, slight smoky eyeshadow, clean base makeup, nose bridge highlights, deep red-brown or wine-red lip color. Clothing: Black lace improved cheongsam, stand collar, frog buttons, cinched waist, high slit, lace dark patterns, clear jacquard texture. Can expose neck and shoulders, arms, and leg lines, but must be high-end and restrained, not vulgar. Accessories: Black gold folding fan, slender black gold tobacco pipe, gold geometric earrings, gold bracelets, red hairpins, few but exquisite. ## Lighting and Texture High-budget studio photography texture, combined with warm gold hard light, side light, back light, rim light, and local fill light. Facial features must be clear, eyes must be bright, black clothing cannot be dead black, lace, dark patterns, folds, and edge highlights must be visible. Preserve real skin texture, real body structure, real fabric, and real light and shadow. No oil painting feel, no illustration feel, no 3D modeling feel, no AI excessive skin smoothing feel. Natural character proportions, correct hand structure, no deformed limbs. --- ## 01 | Full-body Opening with Gold Foil and Bamboo Shadows Full-body standing posture, character standing in front of a gold foil bamboo shadow screen, body slightly sideways, one leg naturally extended from the black high-slit cheongsam, wearing black stilettos.

Warm gold hard light + side rim light, background has bamboo shadows and dark red-brown transitions. ## 02 | Near-shot with Black Gold Folding Fan Covering Face Half-body to 3/4 body composition. Character holding a black gold embroidered folding fan, the fan half-opened, lightly covering the lower half of the face, revealing only clear, cold, and glamorous eyes.

Back-side light outlines the face, shoulder line, and waistline. ## 06 | Emotional Shot Leaning Against Wall with Head Down Character near a gold foil bamboo shadow wall, one hand lightly touching the wall or screen frame, the other hand hanging naturally. She lowers her head slightly, not looking at the camera, eyes looking down or to the side-down, expression quiet, cold, with a bit of fatigue and a sense of story.

Character standing in the center of the gold foil bamboo shadow screen, body leaning slightly back, one hand on the waist or lightly holding a black gold folding fan, the other hand hanging naturally.

No dead black background, no cheap studio style, no AI doll face, no oil painting feel, no illustration feel, no 3D feel. No extra characters, no deformed fingers, no strange limbs, no excessive lengthening of the body.
