Replace the ${…} placeholders with your values before using this prompt. See parameters and defaults below.

Style: Dark, monochrome photography heavily influenced by gothic anime and gothic fantasy. Rendered using brushes that mimic traditional media (charcoal, ink) but feature soft digital transitions. Deep shadows.
Use the uploaded photo as an exact reference for appearance. The face must remain fully recognizable, realistic, and natural, with detailed skin rendering. Correct anatomy, natural neck transition, and realistic body proportions.
Color Palette: Dominated by deep black and shades of gray, transitioning into a misty, muted blue-violet-gray (cool tone). The only pure white accent is the porcelain cup.

Central Subject: A direct, frontal close-up portrait of a person looking straight at the camera. The person has beautifully styled hair, black lips, and pale skin. They are dressed in deep black, Victorian-style gothic attire.

Key Element – Smoke: The entire image is permeated by dynamic, swirling plumes of dark, cool blue-gray smoke (or thick fog) that replace the background and clothing. The smoke forms a hood over the head and a cloak enveloping the figure, while also spiraling upward from the teacup.

Action and Details: The person has two pale, slender hands. The right hand is raised, gracefully holding the handle of a white porcelain cup of tea (or coffee) with rising steam; the index finger is extended, almost touching the uppermost plume of smoke. The left hand is positioned lower, palm up, holding the matching white porcelain saucer. Slender, long fingernails.
Atmosphere: Supernatural, mystical, melancholic, introspective. A sense of a figure materializing from darkness and smoke, or the smoke appearing as part of the figure itself.
