INPUT IMAGE (MANDATORY) Use the uploaded photo as the only identity reference. Preserve 100% of the subject’s facial features, proportions, skin tone, hair, and expression. Do not beautify, stylize, or modify the face itself. Strict face-identity preservation is required (IP-Adapter–level fidelity). MAIN CONCEPT Recreate the subject’s face as a highly detailed surreal mosaic portrait, where the entire face is constructed from hundreds of small images and objects, forming a coherent and recognizable human face when viewed from a distance. This must look like a conceptual collage sculpture, not a simple texture overlay. MOSAIC STRUCTURE Build the face entirely from: Vintage clocks and watch faces (multiple sizes) Mechanical gears, dials, and internal clock mechanisms Old photographs, postcards, printed images Papers, notes, diagrams, technical drawings Small objects related to time, memory, technology, and observation Rules: Large clock faces may replace or dominate the eyes and forehead Smaller collage elements densely fill cheeks, nose, jaw, and neck Hair is formed from layered image fragments but follows the real hair shape from the input photo Every element must align precisely to define facial anatomy FACE READABILITY Despite being fully composed of objects: The face must remain clearly recognizable as the person in the input photo Facial proportions must match exactly Expression should be neutral or contemplative Lips should remain slightly more realistic and human than surrounding elements COLOR & TONE Muted, vintage color palette: Sepia Beige Off-white Warm grays Subtle metallic tones Avoid saturated or neon colors Natural contrast between collage elements BACKGROUND Solid black or very dark neutral background No environment or scenery The face appears centered and floating LIGHTING Soft studio lighting Even illumination across the face Gentle shadows to create depth between collage layers No dramatic or cinematic lighting effects CAMERA & COMPOSITION Frontal portrait Centered composition Head and upper neck visible Symmetrical balance similar to the reference image DETAIL & QUALITY Ultra-high resolution Extreme micro-detail visible when zoomed Sharp edges between collage elements Clean, photorealistic collage rendering No painterly or illustrated strokes STRICT NEGATIVE PROMPT Do NOT change facial identity Do NOT cartoonize or paint Do NOT use brush strokes or watercolor effects Do NOT distort anatomy Do NOT simplify the collage Do NOT add text, signatures, or logos Do NOT add extra people FINAL INSTRUCTION The final image must look as if the person from the uploaded photo has been reconstructed as a surreal mosaic portrait made entirely of clocks, images, and objects, matching the density, composition, and conceptual logic of the reference image, while remaining unmistakably the same person.
