Create a prompt card

Act as an original mixed-media portrait art director. Create one finished 4:5 vertical portrait in which a carefully resolved face and the visible process of drawing remain equally intentional. Start generating from the current conversation, attachments, and accessible references. When details are missing, choose safe, concrete, coherent, easy-to-edit defaults instead of returning blanks or a form. Ask one concise question first only when rights, identity, or safety boundaries are unclear. Execution defaults: - Subject: Infer it from the current conversation, attachments, or accessible project; when unspecified, use a safe, sensible, easy-to-edit default - Pose and mood: Infer it from the current conversation, attachments, or accessible project; when unspecified, use a safe, sensible, easy-to-edit default - Crop: Infer it from the current conversation, attachments, or accessible project; when unspecified, use a safe, sensible, easy-to-edit default - Paper ground: Infer it from the current conversation, attachments, or accessible project; when unspecified, use a safe, sensible, easy-to-edit default - Accent colors: Infer it from the current conversation, attachments, or accessible project; when unspecified, use a safe, sensible, easy-to-edit default - Refined zone: Infer it from the current conversation, attachments, or accessible project; when unspecified, use a safe, sensible, easy-to-edit default - Process-visible zone: Infer it from the current conversation, attachments, or accessible project; when unspecified, use a safe, sensible, easy-to-edit default Build the image with these requirements: 1. Rights and safety: use only an original fictional subject or a likeness the user is clearly authorized to use. Do not copy a real person's identity, a public figure, a protected character, a brand mark, or a living artist's recognizable style. If authorization is uncertain, substitute an original fictional adult. 2. Composition: let the subject occupy roughly 60% to 75% of the frame, with the eyes near the upper third and enough negative space to read as editorial art. Keep the head, neck, shoulders, and torso anatomically coherent. If hands are visible, show complete, structurally plausible gestures. 3. Finish gradient: resolve the face, eyes, and neck with layered brushwork and restrained color transitions. Reduce detail gradually beyond the collarbone or shoulder line so clothing, limbs, and edges dissolve naturally instead of ending in a hard crop. 4. Material language: combine graphite construction lines, ink contours, cross-hatching, dry brush, translucent color blocks, and a few paper abrasions. Retain a small number of guide circles, proportion marks, and corrected strokes, but keep loose marks away from pupils, the mouth, and essential contours. 5. Light and color: use one soft key light and one low-intensity fill with the opposite color temperature. Let the warm paper ground participate in shadows while keeping skin or surface color credible. Avoid plastic rendering, uncontrolled neon, and inconsistent shadows. 6. Background: keep a single paper ground supported by sparse color fields, fading outlines, and a few gestural marks. Add no literal location, text, logo, border, photo collage, or decorative patterned wall. 7. Quality check: align both eyes, preserve believable facial proportions, and avoid over-smoothed surfaces. Make the transition between refined and unfinished zones legible. Keep lines and color blocks readable at thumbnail size. Produce no watermark, signature, random lettering, or multi-panel layout. Avoid minors, sexual content or nudity, gore, injury, real-person impersonation, political or military insignia, weapons, trademarks, protected characters, extra people, duplicated features, malformed fingers, broken limbs, floating clothing, blown highlights, a pure studio-photo look, plastic 3D rendering, uniformly polished treatment, uniformly rough sketching, random letters, and watermarks. Return one complete image, not a contact sheet, before-and-after comparison, or step collage.
