What’s inside
(9)1.Realistic Mirror-Selfie Image Prompt
“Create a highly realistic mirror-selfie of a young man standing in front of a dark grey textured wall. He is wearing a perfectly loose korean black suit, a crisp white shirt, and a slim black tie. His hairstyle, face structure, skin tone, and expression must match the uploaded reference photo exactly — no changes in facial features at all. His hair is slightly messy and wavy, natural, and slightly covering the forehead. He is holding a phone in his right hand, taking a mirror selfie with a relaxed posture, one hand in his pocket. Lighting should be soft, indoor, and evenly diffused, matching the reference image. Background must be the same smooth, dark grey textured wall with a reflective metallic sink counter at the bottom. Overall mood: clean, modern, aesthetic, realistic, elegant.” keep 100% realistic image generate please with golden hour
2.Ocean’s Eleven Movie Poster Illustration
A cinematic, highly detailed engraved illustration style poster of a sophisticated casino heist in Las Vegas at night, wide-angle low perspective, the glowing skyline dominated by neon lights and towering luxury hotels, a group of eleven sharply dressed figures in tailored suits standing in silhouette on a rooftop overlooking the Strip, their faces partially hidden in shadow, subtle smoke drifting through the air, creating a mysterious and calculated atmosphere, golden and crimson reflections illuminating the glass buildings, intricate line art detailing on suits and city textures, dramatic backlighting casting long shadows, a central vault door faintly visible in the distance glowing with cold metallic light, tension and precision captured in their poised stances, dust particles floating in the air under soft volumetric lighting, high contrast between deep shadows and warm neon highlights, ultra-detailed textures, cinematic poster composition, slightly surreal elegance, sharp focus, 9:16 aspect ratio
3.Interstellar Movie Poster Illustration
A monumental cinematic poster inspired by Interstellar, vast cosmic panorama with a lone astronaut standing on a shallow mirror-like alien ocean, facing a colossal black hole bending starlight across the sky, distant frozen mountains and surreal planetary rings on the horizon, a tiny spacecraft suspended above the atmosphere, swirling dust, mist, drifting ice particles, and luminous nebula clouds filling the background, intense volumetric lighting, cold blue-black space contrasted with warm golden helmet reflections, dramatic backlight, high contrast, awe-filled and melancholic atmosphere, ultra-detailed engraved illustration fused with highly detailed digital painting and refined line art, intricate suit textures, reflective water ripples, celestial distortion, deep shadows, subtle film grain, epic scale, slightly surreal realism, wide shot, low angle perspective, razor-sharp focal point, premium cinematic poster composition, masterpiece quality, rich atmospheric depth, dark void versus radiant stellar glow
4.Typographic Portrait Artwork Creation
Transform the provided portrait into a 9:16 vertical typographic artwork built exclusively from repeated name text. STRICT RULES: - The image must be composed ONLY of text (e.g., "MUSTAFA KEMAL ATATÜRK"). - No lines, no strokes, no outlines, no shapes, no shading, no gradients. - Do NOT draw anything. Do NOT use any brush or illustration effect. - No stamp borders or shapes — only pure text. - Every visible detail must come from the text itself. TEXT CONSTRAINT: - ALL text must be small and consistent in size. - Do NOT use large or oversized text anywhere. - Font size should remain uniform across the entire image. - The text should feel like fine grain / micro-typography. Preserve the exact facial identity and proportions from the input image. COMPOSITION: - Slightly zoomed-out portrait (not close-up). - Include full head with some negative space around. REGIONAL CONTROL: - Forehead area should be clean or extremely sparse. - Focus density on eyes, nose, mouth, jawline. SHADING METHOD: - Create depth ONLY by changing text density (not size). - Dark areas = very dense text repetition. - Light areas = sparse text placement. - No gradient effects — density alone must simulate light and shadow. Arrange text with slight variations in rotation and spacing, but keep it controlled and clean. Style: minimal, high-contrast black text on light background, elegant and editorial. No extra text outside the repeated name. No logos. No decorative elements. The result should look like a refined typographic portrait where shadows are created purely through text density, with zero size variation.
5.Cute Family Cartoon Sticker Design
{ "prompt": "You will perform an image edit using the people from the provided photo as the main subjects. The faces must remain clear and unaltered.

Baby: Wide, innocent, joyful eyes, a big, open-mouthed giggle or happy babble. Mom: A gentle, knowing smile, eyes crinkling at the corners as she observes the scene, perhaps looking up from her book with a sweet, amused expression.", "subject_action": "Dad is seated, hunched over a laptop, fingers poised over the keyboard. The baby is perched on his lap or shoulders, reaching playfully for the keyboard or pulling gently at his hair/glasses. Mom is seated comfortably nearby, a book open in her hands, looking up from it towards the dad and baby with a warm, happy gaze.", "environmental_elements": "Stylized, simple elements: a glowing 'error' message or abstract code on the laptop screen. A small, innocent-looking baby toy (e.g., a rattle or block) slightly out of reach on the desk. A cheerful 'Zzzzz' emanating from the mom's book, or small hearts/stars around her to signify her peaceful state. The whole design has a clean, bold outline, making it ideal for a sticker." } }6.Serene Autumn Lakeside Illustration
