Full prompt
Goal: Create a cinematic vertical character-profile poster for a dark fantasy Journey to the West returning-heroes series, focused on {argument name="character name" default="猪八戒"}. The image should feel like a high-end 3D/photoreal fantasy movie key art poster, with the character standing full body in the foreground and breaking the poster frame with his weapon.
Canvas: Vertical 3:4 poster, aged parchment and bronze-gold color palette, ornate thin border lines at the edges, dramatic backlit clouds, dusty mountain road, ancient Chinese pagodas and pilgrimage scenery in the distance.
Main subject: One full-body stocky monk-warrior figure, Zhu Bajie inspired, centered and walking toward the viewer. He has a large round belly exposed under loose layered dark travel robes, worn cloth pants, wrapped boots, a scarf at the neck, a bundled traveler backpack over one shoulder, and two round brown gourds tied at his right side. His face is deliberately covered by a plain soft-edged brown rectangular blur mask, while the rest of the body remains sharp and detailed. He carries an oversized nine-toothed rake weapon diagonally across his body; the metal rake head rises above the upper left area and visually breaks out of the frame. The weapon should look heavy, metallic, ancient, and battle-worn.
Background layout: Behind the main figure, show layered narrative scenes embedded into the cloudy mountain landscape like glowing sepia memory panels. Use exactly 7 small story vignette areas with Chinese vertical calligraphy captions: 3 on the left side and 4 on the right side. The vignettes should depict tiny robed pilgrims, monks, soldiers, mountain paths, temple silhouettes, and journey scenes, all integrated into the environment rather than as modern boxes.
Visible text: Add a large brush-calligraphy gold title near the lower left reading {argument name="large title text" default="猪八戒"}. Add a small red seal stamp beside it. Add a small gold subtitle along the bottom left reading {argument name="subtitle text" default="西行取经|信念之心"}. Add the 7 vertical side captions as decorative Chinese calligraphy: left side captions include {argument name="left side captions" default="一戒挑担;高老庄招亲;贪嗔痴处皆自在人"}; right side captions include {argument name="right side captions" default="天蓬下凡;流沙河收徒;同行取经;终成正果"}. Make the calligraphy legible but secondary, with thin explanatory microtext beside some captions.
Style: Ultra-detailed 3D character render blended with painterly cinematic concept art, warm golden rim light from the cloudy sky, volumetric dust, dramatic depth, intricate fabric texture, mud and wear on clothing, ornate historical Chinese fantasy design, epic mythological atmosphere. Use a muted brown, amber, charcoal, and gold palette. High contrast, sharp foreground, atmospheric background.
Constraints: Include exactly 1 central character, exactly 1 oversized nine-toothed rake, exactly 1 backpack bundle, exactly 2 hanging gourds, exactly 7 side-story vignette caption areas, and 1 large gold calligraphy title. Do not add modern UI elements, English text, watermarks, logos, or extra characters in the foreground.
Analyze the entire composition of the input image. Identify all key subjects present (whether a single person, group/couple, vehicle, or specific object) and their spatial relationships/interactions.
Generate a coherent 3×3 “contact sheet” grid that shows 9 different shots of exactly these subjects within the same environment.
You must adapt standard cinematic shot types to fit the content (for example, if it’s a group, keep the group together; if it’s an object, frame the entire object):
Row 1 (establishing the environment):
Extreme long shot (ELS): the subject appears small within a vast environment.
Long shot (LS): the full subject or group is visible from top to bottom (head to toe / wheels to roof).
Medium long shot (American shot / three-quarter): framed from above the knees (for people) or a 3/4 view (for objects).
Row 2 (core coverage):
4. Medium shot (MS): framed from the waist up (or the central core of an object). Focus on interaction/action.
5. Medium close-up (MCU): framed from the chest up. An intimate framing of the main subject.
6. Close-up (CU): tightly framed on the face or the “front” of the object.
Row 3 (details and angles):
7. Extreme close-up (ECU): intense focus on key features (eyes, hands, signs, textures) with macro-like detail.
8. Low-angle shot (worm’s-eye): look up at the subject from ground level (epic/heroic feeling).
9. High-angle shot (bird’s-eye): look down on the subject from above.
Ensure strict consistency: the same person/object, same clothing, and same lighting must appear in all 9 panels. Depth of field should vary realistically (with background blur in close-up shots).
Create a professional 3×3 cinematic storyboard grid with 9 panels.
The grid should present a specific subject/scene from the input image across a full range of focal lengths.
Top row: wide environmental shot, full-body view, 3/4 cropped (knees-up).
Middle row: waist-up view, chest-up view, face/front close-up.
Bottom row: macro details, low angle, high angle.
All frames must have photo-realistic textures, consistent cinematic color grading, and correct framing tailored to the number and type of subjects or objects being analyzed.

Create decorative text based on the word "{argument name="word" default=""}". Write the specified word largely and create decorative text designs associated with the image of the word. Create original designs with flexible ideas, without being constrained by existing fonts. The background should be a single color, white or black, matching the design.
