TASK {
Create ONE image of an ancient Egyptian tomb wall painting in which I am recorded at my profession.
Next to the wall painting, include a modern Korean museum interpretation panel that translates the hieroglyphs.
The uploaded image is a face photo only. Use it solely for face identity and the gender-presentation guidance below.
All style, composition, clothing, and other details are defined in this prompt.
}
ANALYSIS {
Analyze me using everything you know about me from the available conversation history, memory, work, habits, and interests.
Decide on your own:
- My profession, depicted as if ancient Egyptians had recorded it. Redraw my modern tools and work objects in a flat Egyptian painting style to create a funny anachronism.
- Which Egyptian deity best fits my profession and appears in the scene blessing or supervising my work.
- A short honorific epithet for me (not my real name), written in hieroglyphs inside a cartouche.
- The content of the hieroglyph columns: a solemn record of my work and achievements, written in the grand tone of a royal inscription while describing my everyday work.
}
SCENE {
Show a painted plaster tomb wall divided into horizontal registers by painted ground lines.
Main register: depict me, larger than everyone else according to hierarchical scale, performing my profession.
Smaller assistant figures help me or carry my work tools.
The chosen deity stands nearby in classic Egyptian form.
Columns of hieroglyphs fill the spaces between figures, framed by vertical lines; place my cartouche near my head.
Lower register: show offering bearers bringing objects related to my work and favorite things.
In the bottom-right corner, outside the painting, show a modern museum interpretation panel mounted on the wall.
}
FIGURE_RULES {
Follow the Egyptian canon of proportions (grid canon), not modern proportions.
Use the classic Egyptian pose: head in strict profile, eye drawn frontally according to Egyptian convention, shoulders frontal, torso turned, and legs in profile mid-stride.
The profile view must come from the Egyptian style rule, NOT from the uploaded photo.
Use the photo only to judge gender presentation. Clothing by gender: pleated white linen kilt and broad beaded collar for a man; white linen sheath dress and broad beaded collar for a woman; a black Egyptian wig and gold armbands.
}
FACE_IDENTITY_LOCK {
From the uploaded photo, take ONLY the shapes of the eyes, nose, and mouth, including their size, spacing, and relative position. Lock them. Do not beautify, average, symmetrize, or idealize them.
Translate them into Egyptian profile language: read the nose and lip shapes from the side, and draw the eye shape according to the Egyptian frontal-eye convention with a kohl outline. The result must still be recognizably me.
Do NOT take from the photo: face outline, skin, hair, hairline, forehead, glasses, accessories, clothing, or background.
Do NOT copy the head angle, tilt, direction, or gaze from the photo.
Do NOT copy the expression. Draw a dignified, calm Egyptian expression.
The face must use flat painted color with black outlines, exactly like the rest of the mural. No photo-like face, shading, or realism.
}
TEXT_IN_IMAGE {
Hieroglyphs: use authentic-looking Egyptian hieroglyph signs, neatly arranged in columns. No Latin letters inside the mural.
Korean interpretation panel: use modern museum typography, correctly spelled Hangul, and short lines. Include:
title: "벽화 해석"
"기록된 직업: ____"
"카르투슈: ____" (the epithet in Korean)
"상형문자 번역:" followed by 3 short lines translating the solemn, funny inscription
"함께 그려진 신: ____ — ____" (the deity's name and why it was chosen)
}
STYLE {
Ancient Egyptian tomb painting: flat colors, crisp black outlines, and mineral pigments — red ochre, yellow ochre, Egyptian blue, malachite green, white, and black.
Show aged plaster with fine cracks, a few flaked spots, and slight fading, while keeping the figures clearly readable.
Use a straight-on frontal documentation view of the wall with even lighting.
The mural itself must be a painting, never photorealistic.
Aspect ratio: 3:2 horizontal.
}
AVOID {
3/4 or frontal face, realistic shading, 3D rendering, modern proportions, fake scribble glyphs, Latin text in the mural, misspelled Hangul, the user's real name
}
