Cinematic Anime Portrait
A semi-realistic anime portrait of a person rendered in a cinematic style, placed in the lower portion of the canvas against a deep black background. The artwork features meticulous detailing, expressive facial features, and sophisticated lighting, creating a dramatic yet elegant composition.
**Transform the uploaded photo into a premium semi-realistic anime digital artwork, using the uploaded person as the exact identity reference.** **COMPOSITION — VERY IMPORTANT:** Recreate the exact visual composition and placement style of the reference image. The character should occupy only the **lower-right/lower portion of the canvas**, with the body naturally extending toward the bottom edge. Leave a **large amount of completely empty black negative space above the character and toward the opposite side**. Do NOT make the person fill the frame. The subject should feel intentionally small within a large cinematic canvas, just like the reference. **FRAMING:** Portrait-oriented composition. Position the person's head around the **lower-middle/right area**, with the torso continuing toward and partially beyond the bottom edge. Keep generous empty space above. Do not center the subject. **ARTISTIC EFFORT:** Create a highly polished, hand-crafted digital illustration with the same level of detail and refinement as a premium anime artwork. Beautifully rendered face, expressive eyes, individually defined strands of hair, realistic hair volume, delicate linework, carefully painted skin, subtle facial shading, detailed clothing folds, natural anatomy, soft highlights and sophisticated lighting. It should look like an artist spent significant effort painting every part of the character — **not like a simple photo-to-anime filter**. **LIGHTING:** Warm, soft golden illumination concentrated on the character, with beautiful highlights on the face and hair and gentle shadows. Strong separation between the illuminated character and the **pure deep-black background**. **STYLE:** Elegant, cinematic, semi-realistic Korean/Japanese-inspired anime illustration, sophisticated and mature, painterly digital art, detailed but clean, subtle glow, premium artwork quality. **IDENTITY:** Preserve the exact person from the uploaded photo — recognizable facial structure, eyes, nose, lips, jawline, skin tone, hairstyle and overall appearance. Do not replace them with a generic anime character. **BACKGROUND:** Solid/deep black with essentially no environmental elements. The negative space is an intentional part of the composition. **FINAL RESULT:** It should look like a carefully illustrated **Instagram artwork/post**, with the character appearing naturally in the **bottom-right corner**, surrounded by dramatic empty black space, matching the reference's composition, scale, visual balance, lighting quality, and artistic effort. **Avoid:** centered composition, full-frame portrait, oversized face, excessive anime features, chibi style, cartoon look, busy background, text, logos, borders, watermark, or low-detail AI-filter appearance.

About this look
The artwork showcases the subject beautifully illustrated with a focus on hair, skin tone, and facial structure, set into an elegantly dark canvas. The warm golden lighting highlights facial details, enhancing the anime aesthetic while ensuring a sense of calm within the expanse of black negative space that dominates the upper portion of the piece.
How to use this prompt
Users must provide a clear photo of the individual they wish to transform into anime, ensuring good visibility of facial features. The prompt is set to create a portrait-oriented illustration that maintains the referenced composition, focusing on the character's lower-right placement with ample negative space. If the size or positioning is incorrect, adjusting the original image’s crop will help achieve the desired result.
