Using the image above as the facial reference. Maintain exact facial structure, proportions, features, and expression with consistent identity. With small written signature ${signature:Blaire} on the bottom right part. 
Ultra-realistic dark-fantasy horror beauty editorial, 1:1 square aspect ratio, chest-up close-up, premium cinematic studio portrait with violet, silver, and charcoal-black tones.

SUBJECT & IDENTITY:
Create a fictional adult woman, approximately 25 years old, portrayed as a powerful Grim Reaper Queen. If an adult reference face is supplied, preserve her recognizable identity and facial proportions beneath the theatrical skeletal makeup. Her supernatural appearance must remain a believable practical makeup transformation.

POSE & BODY MECHANICS:
Her torso faces three-quarters toward camera-left. Her right shoulder is positioned closer to the lens, while the opposite shoulder recedes into shadow. One hand rises near her jawline with long fingers slightly curved, as though she is summoning an invisible force. Her other hand lightly grips the edge of her cloak near the collarbone. Maintain naturally uneven shoulders, realistic elbow placement, and relaxed wrist alignment. Her head stays upright, with her chin slightly lowered and eyes looking directly into the camera.

FACIAL EXPRESSION:
A calm, commanding expression with a slightly narrowed gaze, relaxed lips, and minimal brow tension. She should look powerful and composed rather than screaming. Keep the eyes expressive and human beneath the dark fantasy makeup.

SKELETAL MAKEUP & PROSTHETICS:
Use a cool ivory-gray base with carefully sculpted charcoal shadows beneath the cheekbones, along the temples, and around the sides of the nose. Paint realistic skeletal illusions around the cheeks and jawline without physically altering facial anatomy. Add fine bone-inspired linework, muted silver highlights, and tiny weathered cracks across selected areas. Blend the makeup so natural pores and skin texture remain visible. The effect should resemble expert professional SFX makeup, not an actual skull or a digitally generated skeleton.

EYES & LIPS:
Apply smoky charcoal and muted plum eyeshadow with soft silver highlights. Add fine black liner, separated lashes, and subtle metallic accents near the outer corners. Use a muted mauve-gray lip color with natural lip texture. Keep the eyes realistic, with visible irises, proper catchlights, and natural asymmetry.

HAIR & HEADPIECE:
Dark chocolate-brown hair arranged in long, controlled waves, mostly concealed beneath a black hood. A few loose strands frame the cheekbones. Add a sculptural black-and-antique-silver headpiece with delicate pointed motifs, tiny metallic chains, and dark crystal accents. The headpiece should rest naturally on the hood or hair with visible support.

OUTFIT & ACCESSORIES:
A structured black cloak with a high collar, layered matte fabric, subtle satin panels, and intricate silver embroidery. Add a sculptural shoulder ornament, a dark metallic pendant, and a few antique-silver chains across the upper chest. The costume should look luxurious and tailored, with physically believable fabric folds.

NAIL ART:
Long almond-shaped nails painted glossy obsidian black with metallic silver tips and fine skeletal-inspired linework. Add a subtle violet reflection along the nail edges. Preserve natural nail curvature, cuticle detail, and anatomically correct fingers.

BACKGROUND:
Deep black studio background with a muted violet neon source behind camera-left, a cool silver-white rim light behind camera-right, and subtle low-contrast haze. Maintain a clean silhouette around the hood and shoulders.

LIGHTING & CAMERA:
Use a large diffused key light positioned 45 degrees camera-right. Add gentle frontal fill to reveal skeletal makeup detail, controlled silver highlights along the headpiece, and violet backlighting around the hood. Canon EOS R5, RF 85mm portrait lens, ISO 100, 1/200 sec, f/2.8. Focus sharply on the eyes and upper cheekbones with realistic depth of field.

ANTI-AI REALISM:
Natural facial asymmetry, visible skin pores beneath makeup, realistic cosmetic blending, fine hair strands, believable metal reflections, accurate cloak folds, anatomically correct hands, physically plausible shadows, subtle skin imperfections, and consistent lens behavior. Maintain the appearance of a real professional dark-fantasy photoshoot.

NEGATIVE PROMPT:
cartoon skeleton, anime, CGI, 3D render, plastic skin, actual exposed skull, distorted jaw, hollow artificial eyes, glowing pupils, excessive gore, exposed organs, unrealistic metallic skin, excessive glitter, floating headpiece, extra fingers, missing fingers, fused fingers, broken wrists, elongated arms, malformed shoulders, fake fabric, duplicated jewelry, flat lighting, overexposed silver, crushed facial shadows, text, watermark, logo, collage, multiple people, full-body framing, landscape composition.

FINAL OUTPUT:
One adult female Grim Reaper Queen, chest-up, commanding direct gaze, realistic skeletal illusion makeup, luxurious black cloak, silver gothic headpiece, black-and-silver nails, and cinematic violet backlighting. A striking, photorealistic Halloween profile picture.
