Prompt

{
  "prompt": "Hyperrealistic portrait of a young woman (female character) against a completely black background. Dark, dramatic, mysterious mood. Diagonal angled beam of light from top-left shining toward lower-right — the beam hits the long dark hair first, illuminating individual hair strands and creating scattered highlights; the light passes through hair strands and casts broken, irregular shadow patterns across the face (no straight horizontal light band). Hair: long, dark, slightly tousled with loose strands; some strands glow brightly where hit by the beam, other strands fade into deep shadow. Pose: one hand gently touching the lips, fingers relaxed and natural. Expression: eyes looking directly at the camera with a mysterious, quiet gaze. Skin: natural human skin texture with visible pores, micro-details, fine lines, soft imperfections, realistic subsurface scattering and true-to-life shading (no stylized smoothing). High falloff outside the beam — everything outside the illuminated diagonal area falls into deep darkness; sweater and torso blend into shadows. Composition: tight head-and-shoulders portrait, diagonal spotlight across hair and face, strong contrast, ultra-detailed. Camera: shallow depth of field, realistic lens bokeh on background (background completely black), subtle film grain for texture. Lighting specifics: angled top-left diagonal beam shaped by hair; beam edges irregular, hair-caused gobo-like shadows on cheek and lips; highlights on hair are strand-level; avoid even or flat fill light — preserve dramatic one-beam lighting. Style & rendering: hyperrealistic, photoreal detail, 8K ultra-detailed (very high resolution), realistic materials, natural color grading, cinematic contrast.",
  "negative_prompt": "anime smoothness, plastic skin, overly stylized or cartoon rendering, flat lighting, straight horizontal light band, visible background elements, busy background, extra limbs, extra fingers, low detail, soft-focus over-blur, overexposed highlights, harsh clipping, unnatural eye shapes, exaggerated anatomy, watermark, text, signature, obvious 3D render artifacts, overly-saturated colors",
