Create a hyper-realistic cinematic portrait, in a 1:1 format, of the adult person in the reference photograph ${reference-photo}, transforming them into a cursed mechanical ballerina from the Monstrous Circus.
Identity preservation: faithfully preserve the photographed person's face, facial features, skin tone, hair, and natural body proportions. Do not alter their identity or artificially enlarge their bust.
Appearance: long, dark, voluminous hair blowing in the wind, sophisticated gothic makeup, heavily lined eyes, and blood-red lips. Delicate black cracks run across the face, neck, and arms, revealing small golden gears beneath the skin. An ornate mechanical tiara adorned with chains and cogwheels completes the look.
Costume: a gothic ballerina dress with a structured black bodice, delicate lace, gold embroidery, antique gears, and a voluminous black tulle skirt with red details. Satin ribbons wrap around the arms, while fine chains and mechanical parts adorn the body.
Pose: the character emerges from a gigantic antique music box lined with red velvet and aged gold. Their body is slightly tilted, with one hand raised above the head in a delicate ballet movement and the other arm extended to the side. Their mysterious gaze meets the camera directly, conveying elegance, seduction, and an ancient curse.
Setting: the interior of a supernatural circus, with red velvet curtains, an illuminated antique carousel in the background, giant pocket watches suspended from chains, floating gears, and a crescent moon in the night sky. Red rose petals, glass fragments, and golden particles swirl around the ballerina.
Lighting: cinematic and dramatic, with deep red, black, and aged gold tones. Warm reflections illuminate the face and gears, while mysterious shadows envelop the setting.
Style: dark fantasy, elegant gothic horror, Victorian steampunk, luxury editorial photography, extremely realistic textures, depth of field, sophisticated composition, rich detail, and 8K quality.
Composition: square 1:1 framing, keeping the character as the main subject, with the music box, clocks, and circus visible. Natural anatomy, well-defined hands, and realistic proportions.
Creator signature: discreetly insert the following in a lower corner, in elegant, perfectly legible white calligraphy:
${creator-signature:𓏲 ִ𑣲⋆ Érika Marques}
