Using the uploaded reference photo as the only face reference, generate a close‑up portrait that keeps 100% of the person’s facial features, identity, and gender exactly the same as in the photo. The created character must look like the same person from the reference: same gender presentation, age, facial proportions, bone structure, skin tone, eye shape, nose, mouth, jawline, hairline, ears, and overall appearance, with no changes or stylization to the core facial identity. If the reference is female, the face must be completely clean‑shaven with no beard, no moustache, no stubble or facial hair of any kind.
A powerful, battle‑hardened version of this same person in their early thirties, depicted from the chest up, facing three‑quarters to the right. The physical presence is imposing and authoritative, showing subtle signs of experience and wear, but still clearly and recognizably the same individual from the uploaded photo, enhanced with realistic maturity rather than old age.
Facial features & skin realism:
Use the exact facial structure from the reference photo and apply a weathered dark olive‑gray skin tone with cool undertones, while still respecting the underlying complexion. Render with Nano Banana Pro–enhanced realism: visible pores, micro‑scars, fine texture variation, and subtle subsurface scattering. Prominent facial scarring crosses the cheekbones and brow, integrated naturally into the skin, never stylized or cartoonish, always following the real anatomy of the copied face. Deep‑set eyes glow intensely with a vivid amber‑yellow light, emitting a controlled internal energy that still feels grounded and realistic.
Hair & beard / clean‑shaven rule:
Match hairline, density, and growth pattern to the uploaded person, keeping the same gender expression.
If the reference reads as male: stylize with a thick, well‑groomed beard in dark charcoal gray framing the jaw, transitioning into a full head of long, swept‑back hair in striking silver‑white, with sharply defined strands and realistic flow.
If the reference reads as female: strictly no beard, no moustache, no stubble—keep the face fully clean‑shaven and smooth, only using natural eyebrow and scalp hair consistent with the reference, and optionally stylizing the head hair as long, swept‑back silver‑white while preserving recognizability.
Cybernetic & enlarged golden tech elements:
Integrate intricate golden metallic implants seamlessly into the anatomy without changing the person’s facial structure or gendered features. A large, expanded golden headpiece occupies a wide area of the head: wrapping from the left temple across the side of the skull, curving over the parietal region and partially toward the back of the head, like an asymmetric semi‑crown or combat halo, anchored with visible mechanical joints near the ear. The golden surface is panelled and segmented, with fine engravings, vents, and recessed mechanical details, catching soft warm highlights and subtle edge wear. A refined golden nasal bridge spans the nose, composed of three stacked, curved bands following the natural brow contour of the reference face. Additional golden plates and insets lightly trace the cheekbone and upper brow on the left side, suggesting reinforced bone plating while still preserving the underlying bone structure. Multiple small gold piercings and cuffs adorn the ear, each with fine engravings and realistic metal wear, enhancing but not hiding the original ear shape.
Attire & materials:
High‑collared, layered black techwear clothing—military‑grade coat or ceremonial jacket—wraps the upper torso. Thick, vibrant golden‑orange striping runs along the shoulder and lapel, suggesting rank or faction identity and visually echoing the enlarged golden headpiece. A matte black scarf or cowl encircles the neck, adding depth and contrast. Fabric textures are clearly readable, with realistic folds, stitching, and material density, rendered with Nano Banana Pro–level material realism.
Artistic style & rendering:
Ultra‑detailed digital illustration blending high‑end concept art with near‑photorealistic rendering. Sharp, confident brushwork and refined line definition remain visible around edges, hair, and armor details, preserving an illustrative edge while maintaining advanced realism in skin, metal, and fabric. The result should feel like premium AAA character design while still unmistakably showing the same face and gender as the uploaded photo.
Lighting & color palette:
Soft yet directional lighting emphasizes facial planes, hair volume (or beard where applicable), and metallic reflections on the enlarged golden headpiece and implants. Subtle shadows form beneath the brow ridge, nose, and jaw, while gold surfaces catch warm, concentrated highlights. The palette balances cool, desaturated gray‑green skin tones against rich gold metal, vivid amber eyes, and deep blacks in the clothing, preserving the same color relationships, mood, and contrast as the original description.
Composition & mood:
Tight head‑and‑shoulders framing with a neutral medium‑gray background to isolate the subject. The gaze is intense, slightly downward or to the right, conveying controlled power, discipline, and mystery. The enlarged golden headpiece acts as a dominant design element without obscuring the recognizable face, so the viewer can immediately see that this is the same person and same gender as in the uploaded reference photo, clean‑shaven if female.
Quality & enhancement tags:
Gemini / Nano Banana Pro enhanced realism, same identity and gender as reference photo, 100% facial feature consistency, clean‑shaven if reference is female (no beard, no moustache, no facial hair), ultra‑sharp detail, natural but highly detailed skin texture, cinematic lighting, high‑fidelity materials, enlarged golden cybernetic headpiece, professional character concept art, cyberpunk–fantasy fusion, AAA game character portrait, 8K resolution, vertical close‑up composition.
