TASK {
  Create ONE single finished image in one pass.
  Use the uploaded photo ONLY as a reference for the shapes of the eyes, nose, and mouth.
  Define everything else—composition, pose, camera angle, head angle, hair, skin color, makeup, outfit, props, background, lighting, and art style—ONLY through this text.
  Do not reference, copy, or blend any other image.
}

CORE_RULES {
  - Take ONLY the shapes of the eyes, nose, and mouth from the uploaded photo.
  - Do NOT take the face shape, jawline, skin tone, skin texture, hair, hairline, forehead, makeup, lip color, eye color, glasses, accessories, clothing, background, lighting, or photo sharpness from the photo.
  - Do NOT take the head angle, head tilt, face direction, or gaze direction from the photo. Define the head pose only in POSE_AND_CAMERA.
  - Do NOT take the expression from the photo. Redraw it exactly as described in EXPRESSION.
  - Ignore any glasses in the uploaded photo: do not reproduce frame shapes, nose-pad marks, or pressure lines. There must be NO two-lens glasses in the image; the only eyewear is the single monocle described in ACCESSORIES.
  - Nothing outside the face may differ from this description.
}

IDENTITY_LOCK {
  - Preserve the exact shapes of the eyes (eyelid type, eye-corner angle, eye length, and roundness), nose (bridge width, tip shape, and nostril shape), and mouth (lip thickness, lip line, and mouth width).
  - Also lock the SIZE of each feature, the SPACING between the eyes, the distance from nose to mouth, the distance from mouth to chin, and the relative positions of all three features.
  - Do NOT beautify, average, idealize, or symmetrize the features; do NOT enlarge the eyes, slim the nose, or reshape the lips.
  - Draw a new face shape: a slim, elegant oval with sharp cheekbones and a narrow, tapered chin, built around the locked feature layout without distorting it.
  - The result must be instantly recognizable as the person in the photo.
}

FACE_SCALE_RULE {
  - The head is fairly small in this knee-up shot.
  - First construct the face at a large close-up scale with full identity detail, then shrink it proportionally as one unit to the final head size.
  - All locked features, their sizes, and their spacing must remain unchanged during downscaling.
}

SKIN_COLOR {
  - TOP PRIORITY: The skin is CHALK-WHITE, bone-white, almost pure white porcelain, like a vampire or a white-painted doll—far whiter than any natural human skin.
  - Apply this equally to the face, ears, neck, and all visible skin.
  - Skin shadows are cool pale gray with a faint lilac tint, never brown, beige, or peach.
  - No warm undertone, beige, peach, pink cheek blush, healthy flush, or tan.
  - Keep soft painted shading on the white skin so the face remains three-dimensional, not flat.
}

FACE_INTEGRATION {
  - The face must NOT look pasted on. The head, face, neck, and body are ONE continuous painted figure.
  - PERSPECTIVE: The camera is slightly below the face, so the face is seen very slightly from below. The underside of the jaw is faintly visible, matching the body's perspective.
  - LIGHTING: Light the face with the same dim, cool-neutral key light from the front-upper side as the body. Add soft cool-gray shadows under the cap visor across the upper forehead, under the nose, under the lips, and under the jaw onto the neck. Add subtle warm glints from the floating embers only on the clothing; do not tint the skin.
  - The face and neck share the exact same chalk-white tone and painted texture. Do not use smooth, photo-like skin or make the face sharper than the rest of the image.
  - HAIR OVERLAP: A few white strands fall from under the cap along the temples and cheeks, overlapping the edges of the face.
  - Connect the neck naturally into the white shirt collar, with no visible seam.
}

ART_STYLE {
  - Highly detailed semi-realistic dark-fantasy digital painting, anime-influenced concept-art illustration, with painterly CG rendering applied equally to the face and body.
  - Palette: deep crimson red, glossy black, antique gold, chalk white, and a near-black background.
  - Use strong, glossy, lacquer-like specular highlights on the red coat, black waistcoat, black trousers, and gloves.
  - Create a dark, moody, elegant, and menacing atmosphere.
  - The image must look like a painted illustration, NOT a photograph.
}

POSE_AND_CAMERA {
  - Vertical portrait composition (about 3:5), front-facing, framed from the top of the cap to just BELOW THE KNEES, with the figure centered. Keep the knees inside the frame.
  - Place the camera at about waist height, looking very slightly upward to give the figure a tall, commanding presence.
  - Use adult proportions: tall and slender, about 8.5 heads tall.
  - The figure stands upright and relaxed, with shoulders square to the viewer.
  - Her right hand (viewer's left), wearing a black glove, rests on top of the pommel of a sword whose blade points straight down in front of her right thigh.
  - Her left hand (viewer's right) is tucked casually into her trouser pocket.
  - HEAD ANGLE: Keep the head upright and NOT tilted sideways, facing straight forward, with the chin slightly LOWERED (not raised). Her eyes look directly at the viewer from beneath the cap visor.
  - Correct anatomy: two arms, two hands, five fingers on each hand, natural shoulders, and no extra limbs.
}

EXPRESSION {
  - Lips CLOSED, with no teeth and no parted lips.
  - A calm, sly, confident smile, with both corners of the lips clearly curling upward into a cold, amused, slightly sinister smirk.
  - Eyes slightly narrowed and half-lidded, with a piercing, unsettling gaze.
  - Draw the expression using the subject's own locked eye, nose, and mouth shapes.
}

FACE_DETAILS {
  - EYES: The entire iris is vivid, saturated blood-red/ruby-red, bright and GLOWING as if lit from within, clearly emissive against the dark scene.
  - A faint red glow spills onto the lower eyelid and lashes; inside the monocle, the red glow reflects on the lens.
  - Pupils are small and deep crimson-black, with a bright red catchlight in each eye.
  - No brown, reddish-brown, amber, or hazel eyes; no dull or dark-maroon eyes.
  - Keep the eye SHAPE from the photo; change only the iris color and glow.
  - Use dark wine-red/deep burgundy matte lipstick, darker than the coat; keep the lip SHAPE from the photo.
  - Add soft, dark smoky-gray shading around the eyes.
  - Add a few thin, faint old scar lines on the cheek near the hair.
}

HAIR {
  - Long, slightly wavy silver-white hair flows from under the cap, falling past the shoulders over the coat.
  - Add loose strands around the temples and cheeks, with no straight bangs covering the eyes.
}

ACCESSORIES {
  - A single round monocle with a thin antique-gold rim is worn over her RIGHT eye only (viewer's left), held naturally in the eye socket between brow and cheek.
  - The glowing red iris is visible through the monocle lens, with a slight reflection on the glass. Her other eye is bare, with no lens or frame.
  - A fine gold chain attached to the monocle rim hangs down past the cheek and jaw and clips onto the black waistcoat.
  - The monocle must not change the shape, size, or position of the eye beneath it.
  - Add round, ornate gold drop earrings.
  - Add a crimson-red military peaked officer's cap with a glossy black visor, a wide black band decorated with gold baroque embroidery and a gold emblem, and a small gold eagle-like insignia on top. Use no real national symbols.
}

OUTFIT {
  - A long, glossy crimson-red military greatcoat, worn open and reaching below the knees, with wide lapels trimmed in gold piping.
  - Large gold-fringed epaulettes on both shoulders.
  - Gold-embroidered insignia patches on the upper sleeves and gold-braided cords on the chest.
  - Wide black cuffs covered in intricate gold baroque embroidery.
  - A crisp white shirt with a pointed collar, a black necktie, and an ornate gold cross-shaped tie pin set with a red gem.
  - A glossy black fitted double-breasted waistcoat with small gold buttons and thin gold chains.
  - Glossy black high-waisted, straight-leg trousers.
  - Black leather gloves.
}

PROPS {
  - An ornate, rapier-like sword with a long black-wrapped grip, an elaborate curved gold hand guard, and a red gem at the center of the guard. The silver blade points down.
}

BACKGROUND {
  - A dark, gloomy gothic hall with only faint stone pillars and arches, almost completely black.
  - No candles, candelabras, red banners, or curtains.
  - Tiny floating golden embers and sparks drift in the air, denser near the lower right.
  - Add a soft dark vignette and clearly separate the figure from the background.
