Prompt template

Create a breathtaking, cinematic fantasy portrait using the supplied human reference image and dragon reference image.

## Preserve identity
Preserve the person’s identity exactly: facial structure, bone landmarks, eye shape and colour, skin tone and complexion, hairstyle, hairline and texture, facial hair if present, body proportions, expression characteristics, age and distinctive features. Do not beautify or alter their identity.

Preserve the dragon’s identity exactly, including its head shape, horns, eye colour, scale pattern, gemstones, golden filigree, colour palette, proportions, personality and expression.

## Pose and emotion
The enormous dragon gently lowers its head until its forehead and nose meet the person’s forehead. The person stands close, resting their forehead against the dragon’s face and gently cupping its cheek with one hand. The dragon’s eyes are slightly closed in trust; the person smiles softly, eyes closed or half-open in quiet admiration.

Convey unconditional love, ancient friendship, mutual trust, deep respect, emotional healing, spiritual connection, safety, peace and wonder. Neither figure dominates: they are equals. The dragon is majestic yet incredibly gentle, like an old soul greeting its closest companion. Its body curves gracefully around the person, framing them without overwhelming the composition.

## Wardrobe and dragon details
Dress the person in elegant, flowing fantasy robes inspired by celestial royalty: white, ivory, pearl, lavender, violet or royal purple, with soft gold embroidery, translucent flowing fabrics, layered silk and embroidered celestial patterns. Let the clothing move naturally in a gentle breeze.

The dragon is enormous, elegant and ethereal, with polished white opal scales and subtle iridescence. Intricate golden filigree weaves between the scales like living vines. Embedded gemstones glow softly in blue, turquoise and violet. Fine whiskers and delicate tendrils move gently through the air. Its eyes radiate wisdom, kindness and unconditional affection.

## Setting and lighting
Set the scene in a magical ancient sanctuary. Add drifting floating particles, soft mist around both figures, warm rays of light in the background, and tiny glowing embers and magical motes for depth. The setting should feel timeless and sacred.

Use soft golden backlight, a large diffused key light, subtle rim lighting to define both silhouettes, natural atmospheric haze, soft volumetric light beams, gentle bloom around highlights and beautiful specular reflections in the dragon’s gemstones.

## Camera and colour
Shot on a Sony A7R V with an 85mm f/1.8 lens and full-frame sensor. Use shallow depth of field, natural lens compression, creamy bokeh and an editorial composition. Aim for award-winning fantasy photography.

Use natural cinematic colour science, true-to-life skin tones, rich whites without clipping, soft gold highlights, deep blue and turquoise accents, subtle film halation, gently lifted shadows, organic contrast and a premium fantasy-film grade.

## Composition and mood
Vertical 9:16 composition. The dragon fills the upper half of the frame and the person fills the lower half. Their touching foreheads are the emotional focal point; the raised hand on the dragon’s cheek is the secondary focal point. Leave generous negative space around the pair to emphasize the dragon’s scale while maintaining intimacy.

The mood is quiet, sacred, emotional, tender, timeless, mythic and hopeful—filled with love, trust and awe. Make the image feel like a single frame from an epic fantasy film, instantly communicating that these two souls have shared an unbreakable bond for centuries.

## Negative prompt
No altered facial identity, cartoon features, extra fingers, extra limbs, malformed hands, duplicate anatomy, distorted dragon anatomy, aggressive expressions, roaring, violence, oversaturated colours, plastic-looking skin, fake HDR, excessive sharpening, AI artifacts, blurry eyes, awkward poses, text, watermark, logos or cropped hands. Maintain anatomical accuracy, emotional authenticity and cinematic realism.
