IDENTITY AND FACIAL PRESERVATION:
Use the uploaded person's photograph as the definitive facial identity reference, male or female. Preserve their recognizable facial structure, natural proportions, apparent age, skin tone, eye color, eyebrows, nose, lips, cheekbones, jawline, hairline, hairstyle, and distinctive characteristics. Do not replace, idealize, excessively beautify, reshape, or artificially age the face. Maintain authentic facial anatomy, natural expressions, and realistic skin texture. Adapt clothing, posture, and cinematic effects without compromising recognizable identity.

STYLE AND ATMOSPHERE:
Create an ultra-photorealistic 8K cinematic fantasy action portrait featuring a powerful martial artist summoning a colossal elemental Chinese dragon composed of earth, air, water, and fire. Combine blockbuster fantasy cinema, legendary martial arts, supernatural elemental manipulation, and premium Hollywood visual effects. The atmosphere is intense, explosive, mystical, dangerous, and breathtakingly epic.

COMPOSITION AND POSE:
Vertical 4:5 action portrait, framing the subject from approximately mid-thigh upward. Position the subject slightly below center, occupying the foreground with their entire head and hairstyle fully visible. The subject performs a powerful martial arts bending stance, knees spread, torso leaning slightly forward, shoulders squared toward the camera. One arm extends dramatically toward the lens, fingers spread in a precise elemental-control gesture, while the other arm bends backward as if commanding the surrounding forces.

Maintain direct, intense eye contact with the camera, a determined expression, and powerful physical presence. Preserve realistic anatomy, natural hand proportions, and five correctly formed fingers on each hand.

DRAGON DESIGN AND ELEMENTAL FORMATION:
Behind and around the subject, create an enormous serpentine Eastern dragon forming a spectacular sweeping spiral shaped like a giant inverted C. Its massive body rises from the lower left, curves high above the subject's head, and finishes with its terrifying head roaring toward the upper right.

The dragon features ancient jagged volcanic stone armor, intricately layered obsidian scales, metallic mineral textures, glowing molten fissures, enormous curved horns, flowing whiskers, razor-sharp teeth, powerful clawed limbs, and fierce amber-gold eyes.

Its enormous open mouth releases blazing orange fire, incandescent plasma, sparks, and molten particles. The dragon must appear fully three-dimensional, physically present, and seamlessly integrated into the environment, not like a decorative illustration.

FOUR ELEMENTS AND EXTREME SPECIAL EFFECTS:
EARTH: Gigantic levitating boulders, shattered rocks, spinning pebbles, crystalline fragments, cracked volcanic plates, and dense clouds of mineral dust orbit the subject. Chunks of stone break apart in midair with glowing magma visible inside.

AIR: Powerful translucent cyclones spiral around the body and dragon. Add high-speed wind ribbons, swirling dust funnels, pressure-wave distortions, flying debris, and curling atmospheric vortexes. Hair and fabric respond naturally to violent supernatural wind.

WATER: Turbulent sapphire-blue water wraps around sections of the dragon's body, producing physically accurate splashes, suspended droplets, crystalline spray, foaming currents, translucent liquid ribbons, and exquisite light refraction. Massive water arcs weave between the other elements without obscuring the subject's face.

FIRE: Explosive orange and golden flames race across the dragon's scales and spiral around the subject's shoulders and arms. Add blazing embers, fiery particle trails, incandescent sparks, explosive flame tongues, glowing volcanic veins, and brilliant heat distortion.

GO WILD WITH SPECIAL EFFECTS:
Introduce spectacular interlocking elemental energy rings, fractal lightning between floating rocks, illuminated vapor trails, miniature shockwaves, suspended debris fields, shimmering atmospheric particles, exploding water droplets, and violent magical energy collisions. Create a breathtaking supernatural storm with intricate layered motion and tremendous cinematic scale.

Keep the subject's face completely unobstructed and sharply recognizable. Concentrate the most spectacular effects around the dragon, shoulders, extended arm, and outer edges of the composition.

WARDROBE AND TEXTURES:
Dress the subject in a fitted dark charcoal or earthy-brown martial arts training shirt with realistic woven cotton texture, subtle wrinkles, natural stretching, and wind-driven movement. Add dark tactical-style trousers. Maintain natural body proportions and believable muscle tension. Render exquisite detail in skin pores, facial hair where present, individual hair strands, clothing fibers, dragon scales, wet stone, liquid surfaces, and airborne particles.

ENVIRONMENT AND BACKGROUND:
Place the action in a dramatic ancient rocky mountain valley with rugged cliffs, distant hazy peaks, shattered terrain, and a dusty wilderness landscape. The background features a luminous golden sunset beneath stormy slate-gray clouds. Atmospheric mist, suspended dust, volumetric haze, and distant terrain provide extraordinary depth.

LIGHTING AND COLOR:
Use cinematic golden-hour backlighting streaming from the upper right. Brilliant amber sunlight illuminates the dragon's silhouette and creates glowing rim light along the subject's hair and shoulders. Intense orange firelight illuminates skin, clothing, and nearby rocks, contrasting with cold teal-blue water reflections.

Use dramatic directional key lighting, deep charcoal shadows, realistic reflected illumination, warm golden highlights, subtle atmospheric bloom, controlled HDR, and physically accurate light interaction. Maintain a rich palette of volcanic orange, molten gold, obsidian black, earthy brown, storm gray, and sapphire teal.

CAMERA AND PHOTOGRAPHIC SETTINGS:
Professional full-frame cinematic photography, approximately 35mm lens, camera positioned slightly below eye level with a subtle upward perspective. Medium-close environmental action portrait with realistic perspective exaggeration on the forward-reaching hand.

Simulated f/2.8 aperture, 1/2000-second shutter, ISO 200, tack-sharp facial focus, extraordinary micro-detail, selective depth of field, softly atmospheric background, natural optical bokeh, high dynamic range, and premium cinematic color grading.

Freeze dramatic splashes, flames, stone fragments, and flying debris with crisp high-speed photographic detail. Maintain believable scale, realistic physics, volumetric lighting, and seamless integration of CGI-quality fantasy effects with genuine photographic realism.

FINAL QUALITY REQUIREMENTS:
Ultra-photorealistic, 8K-quality detail, visually spectacular, cinematic realism, physically believable textures, anatomically correct hands, sharp eyes, natural facial identity, dramatic perspective, sophisticated compositing, and monumental fantasy action.

No text, captions, lettering, watermarks, logos, interface graphics, borders, or promotional overlays. No cartoon styling, plastic skin, distorted anatomy, extra fingers, duplicated limbs, artificial facial features, or excessive blur.
