Use the uploaded image as the only identity reference.
Identity lock – face, hair, gender (100% from photo)
Keep the exact same face and likeness from the reference photo, preserving 100% of facial structure and proportions, even showing only half of the face.
Maintain the same eye shape and distance, nose bridge and tip, lips and mouth shape, jawline curve, cheekbone structure, chin, apparent age, skin tone family, and gender expression exactly as in the original.
Preserve the same hairstyle family (length, volume, silhouette, hairline, parting, general texture), slightly wind‑tousled, without changing the haircut.
Framing and pose (same cut)
Extreme close‑up half‑face portrait in vertical 9:16: crop along the nose bridge from forehead to chin, showing one side of the face in sharp detail.
The visible eye looks directly at the viewer, intense and unwavering, conveying resilience and inner strength.
Strong features and stitched scars
Add several realistic stitched scars across the visible side of the face, as if from past injuries or surgeries, fully healed or in late‑healing stage.
Place one long diagonal scar running from temple toward cheek, with fine, evenly spaced sutures; another shorter scar crossing near the eyebrow or along the cheekbone.
Scars must follow real skin anatomy: subtle raised tissue, slight color variation (pale or slightly pink), tiny stitch marks, and faint tension lines, all integrated naturally with pores and freckles.
Skin texture, detail, and grit
Hyper‑realistic skin: visible pores, subtle freckles or blemishes, fine hair, and slight imperfections; no beauty‑filter smoothing.
Around the scars, show realistic scar tissue detail: slight shine, micro irregularities, and tiny shadowing around the edges.
Add faint signs of wear: a little under‑eye darkness, light redness around the nose or cheek, tiny healed cuts or scratches, without deforming the original features.
Lighting, mood, and atmosphere
Cinematic low‑key lighting from one side: bright key light grazing the scarred areas, creating strong but controlled contrast and emphasizing texture.
The other side of the frame falls into soft shadow or out‑of‑focus depth, reinforcing the half‑face composition and drama.
Color grading: muted, slightly cool tones with warm highlights on skin, giving a gritty movie‑still atmosphere.
Background and overall feel
Background: dark, softly blurred, with minimal detail—just a hint of bokeh or abstract shapes, so the face and scars dominate the frame.
Overall mood: realistic, intense, and emotionally charged—like a post‑battle or post‑trauma cinematic character portrait, focused on survival and story written in the skin.
🚫 NEGATIVE PROMPT – avoid
Do not change the face shape, eye position, nose, lips, or hairstyle; only add scars and subtle skin marks.
Avoid cartoon, anime, painterly or stylized looks, unrealistic colored scars, or horror‑gore exaggeration; keep everything grounded and photorealistic.
No text, logos, UI, watermarks, or extra props in frame.
