Create an image using the uploaded image.

IDENTITY AND FACIAL PRESERVATION:
Use the uploaded person's photograph as the primary facial identity reference. Preserve their exact recognizable facial identity, natural skin tone, apparent age, facial proportions, eye shape and color, eyebrows, nose, lips, cheekbones, jawline, hairline, hairstyle, and distinctive characteristics. Maintain realistic skin pores, fine lines, natural facial texture, authentic anatomy, and individual features. Do not de-age, excessively beautify, reshape, or replace the person's face. NO MAKEUP: no eyeliner, mascara, eyeshadow, lipstick, foundation, blush, artificial dark circles, or cosmetic enhancements. Preserve completely natural facial features and skin appearance regardless of gender.

STYLE AND ATMOSPHERE:
Create an extraordinarily detailed, ultra-photorealistic dark medieval fantasy portrait inspired by gothic cinematic photography, ancient Norse mythology, mysterious sorcery, and atmospheric fantasy adventure films. The atmosphere is haunting, mystical, powerful, mysterious, ancient, and dramatically beautiful. Blend realistic human portrait photography with historically inspired fantasy clothing, occult architecture, supernatural symbolism, and authentic medieval environmental details.

COMPOSITION AND CAMERA ANGLE:
Vertical 4:5 composition featuring a full-body portrait of the uploaded person standing confidently in the center of an ancient underground stone sanctuary. Camera positioned approximately at waist height with a subtle low-angle perspective, creating a commanding heroic appearance. Natural 50mm full-frame lens perspective with minimal distortion. The subject faces directly toward the camera, head upright, shoulders squared, maintaining intense natural eye contact and a serious, confident expression. Entire figure visible from hood to boots, with the subject occupying approximately 85% of the image height. A magnificent snowy owl perches prominently on the subject's raised gloved hand on the viewer's right.

WARDROBE AND ACCESSORIES:
Dress the subject as a mysterious medieval fantasy sorcerer, adapting garment construction naturally to their body and gender. A weathered charcoal-black hooded cloak with a deep pointed hood frames the recognizable face without obscuring its features. Intricate dark leather shoulder armor, delicate antique silver chains, tiny skull ornaments, aged metal clasps, layered leather bracers, and fingerless gloves. A fitted black leather bodice or armored tunic layered over a weathered ivory linen garment. Distressed dark leather trousers, rugged lace-up medieval boots, aged utility belts, dangling charms, small leather pouches, and torn asymmetrical fabric panels. Add intricate arcane tattoos across exposed arms, upper chest, and neck, adapting placement to visible skin while keeping the face natural and unobstructed. Layered necklaces featuring antique silver, dark metal, and a luminous emerald-green crystal pendant. Capture every stitch, leather grain, metal scratch, frayed fabric edge, and individual garment fold.

SNOWY OWL:
Include a magnificent photorealistic snowy owl perched naturally on the subject's raised leather-gloved hand. The owl has thick, luxurious white plumage with delicate charcoal-gray feather markings, brilliant amber-orange eyes, a small black beak, realistic talons, and exceptionally detailed individual feathers. Its body faces slightly toward the camera while its head turns forward with an intense, intelligent stare. Render anatomically correct wings, layered feathers, realistic weight distribution, and subtle highlights illuminating its white plumage.

ENVIRONMENT AND BACKGROUND:
An ancient subterranean gothic stone chamber constructed from weathered limestone and dark granite. Massive rounded medieval stone arches frame the central figure. Mysterious glowing golden Norse runes are carved into the archways and walls. On the left, a blazing iron wall torch casts flickering amber firelight across rough stone blocks. On the right, an ancient ritual altar holds flickering candles, human skulls, engraved occult symbols, and mysterious relics. A weathered circular magical inscription is partially visible behind the owl. Large irregular stone floor slabs extend toward the foreground, with cracked surfaces, worn edges, dust, and subtle reflections. Include atmospheric smoke, floating embers, suspended dust particles, and realistic environmental weathering.

LIGHTING AND COLOR GRADING:
Dramatic low-key cinematic lighting dominated by warm amber torchlight and deep charcoal shadows. Soft directional illumination reveals the subject's facial structure without cosmetic enhancements. Gentle cool-neutral fill lighting preserves realistic skin tones and intricate clothing details. Strong golden highlights illuminate the stone arches, snowy owl, metal jewelry, and scattered candles. Subtle rim lighting separates the dark cloak from the shadowy environment. Rich cinematic color grading featuring black, charcoal, weathered brown, antique gold, muted ivory, and subtle emerald accents. Preserve deep blacks, detailed midtones, realistic firelight falloff, and atmospheric contrast.

PHOTOGRAPHIC REALISM:
Ultra-photorealistic 8K cinematic fantasy photography, professional full-frame DSLR appearance, 50mm lens, f/2.8, ISO 800, 1/160-second shutter speed, realistic high-dynamic-range exposure, sharp facial focus, exceptionally detailed owl feathers, finely rendered textiles, realistic skin subsurface scattering, natural shadow transitions, and controlled cinematic depth of field. Keep the subject and owl sharply defined while distant architecture remains subtly softened but recognizable. No cartoon effects, plastic skin, artificial facial enhancements, anatomical distortions, extra fingers, malformed hands, unrealistic owl anatomy, watermarks, or modern objects.
