The prompt

Copy it.
Then make it yours.

Designate the attached reference image(s) as 
@Image1
, 
@Image2
, 
@Image3
, and so on, in the order they are provided.


@ImageCount
 = automatically detected from the number of images attached. Only use the number of characters actually provided — never invent additional characters to fill out the scene.


@Image1
 = the primary reference. Its emotional tone determines the art style for the entire image (see Step 1).

@Image2
 and beyond, if present = additional characters appearing alongside 
@Image1
 in the same scene, each with their own fully preserved identity.

No name input is required for this prompt. Do not display any name, label, or title text anywhere in the final image.

If 
@ImageCount
 = 1:
Create a single high-quality, cinematic character portrait of 
@Image1
 caught in a strong September breeze, styled like the hero shot from a professional outdoor photoshoot.

If 
@ImageCount
 is 2 or more:
Create a single high-quality, cinematic group portrait featuring all referenced characters together in the same September breeze, styled like a professional outdoor group photoshoot — the characters should feel like they are genuinely sharing the same moment, light, and gust of wind, not separately composited.

Reference Rules — Highest Priority

For each attached reference image, carefully analyze and preserve that character's:

Face and facial structure
Hairstyle and hair color
Exact eye color
Skin tone
Body type and proportions
Species traits
Signature colors and motifs
Personality and emotional energy
Recognizable silhouette
Overall visual identity

Every character must remain unmistakably the same individual as their reference. Do not blend, merge, or average features between different characters. Do not use characters, outfits, names, or information from previous prompts or conversations.

STEP 1 — DETERMINE THE ART STYLE FROM 
@IMAGE1
'S EMOTIONAL TONE:

The art style is determined by 
@Image1
 only, regardless of how many characters are present. Additional characters (
@Image2
 and beyond) do not influence style selection — they are rendered in whichever style 
@Image1
 determines, even if their own personal tone would have suggested a different style on their own.

This is a deterministic style selection, not a default choice. Photorealistic is not a fallback or "safe" option — it must only be selected when it is genuinely the best match, exactly like the other three styles.

Evaluate 
@Image1
 against all four trait profiles below. For each profile, count how many of its listed traits are clearly present in 
@Image1
's expression, posture, palette, and personality energy. Select the style with the highest trait match. Do not skip this comparison and do not default to any single style without completing it.

90S AMERICAN ACTION CARTOON — traits: bold/confident expression, heroic or assertive posture, high-contrast or primary-color palette, athletic or exaggerated build, high-energy or combative personality.

DRAGON BALL Z STYLE — traits: fierce or intense expression, dynamic/spiky hair, sharp or determined eyes, battle-ready or powerful personality, strong graphic color contrast.

HAND DRAWN SKETCH — traits: soft or gentle expression, reflective or quiet personality, muted or pastel palette, artistic or introspective energy, minimal aggressive posing.

PHOTOREALISTIC — traits: naturalistic/grounded expression, casual everyday posture, real-world-plausible palette (not stylized or saturated), down-to-earth personality, no exaggerated proportions or graphic styling in the reference itself.

Tie-breaker rule: if two or more styles tie, choose the style whose traits are most visually dominant and immediately readable in 
@Image1
, not the one that requires the least reinterpretation. Photorealistic must never win a tie by default.

If 
@Image1
 is itself photorealistic, this does NOT automatically mean Photorealistic must be chosen — evaluate 
@Image1
's personality and energy independently of the reference image's own rendering style.

STEP 2 — OUTFIT REDESIGN (PER CHARACTER):

Restyle every character into the following outfit, regardless of their original clothing:

A turtleneck sweater
Jeans
Western boots
A goose down vest worn over the turtleneck

Do not use any character's original outfit. Instead, run the color-palette logic individually for each character: derive the turtleneck, jeans, boots, and vest colors for that character from that character's own existing signature colors, exactly as if each character had been dressed in a separate session before being brought together into the same scene. Do not average, blend, or share palettes between characters — each character's outfit must look like it was chosen specifically for them, and no two characters should end up in identical color combinations unless their original palettes were already genuinely identical.

If a character has a signature small accessory (hair ribbon, scarf, hairpin, badge, tied cloth, or similar), preserve or naturally translate it into that character's new look rather than discarding it. If no such accessory exists for a given character, do not invent one for them.

Preserve each character's species traits, body type, and silhouette beneath their new clothing.

STEP 3 — POSE AND COMPOSITION:

If 
@ImageCount
 = 1:
Pose the character as though captured mid-session by a professional outdoor photographer: a natural, flattering stance, the most flattering three-quarter or profile angle for the character's face and silhouette, and an expression and body language that feels candid rather than stiffly posed.

If 
@ImageCount
 is 2 or more:
Pose the characters together as though captured mid-session by a professional outdoor group photographer: a natural, relaxed group arrangement with genuine spatial and physical connection between characters (standing close, casually grouped, gently interacting or oriented toward one another) rather than a stiff lineup. Each character should still be individually flattering and clearly readable — do not let any character be hidden, cropped awkwardly, or visually overwhelmed by another.

In all cases, the mood of the pose and expression must be relaxed, casual, and content with life — a calm, at-ease energy, not dramatic, not combat-ready, not performative.

Use a cinematic portrait composition with the character(s) large, sharp, and dominant in the frame, with shallow depth of field or soft atmospheric background separation appropriate to the chosen art style.

STEP 4 — WIND AND ENVIRONMENT:

Set the scene outdoors in early autumn, with a strong September breeze moving through the frame and affecting every character equally and consistently, as though they are all standing in the same gust at the same moment.

Show the wind's effect clearly and dynamically on each character:

Hair caught mid-motion, strands lifting and flowing with the gust
The goose down vest and any coat-like layers or fabric edges billowing or lifting at the hem
Any ribbon, scarf, or fabric accessory trailing in the wind
A scattering of falling autumn leaves in motion around the characters — some crisp and near-focus, some soft and drifting in the background

The environment should feel like a real early-autumn outdoor setting — think golden-hour light, warm low sun, a park, tree-lined path, open field, or quiet countryside road — chosen to complement 
@Image1
's palette and the selected art style, not a generic empty backdrop.

STEP 5 — LIGHTING AND RENDERING:

Use warm, natural early-autumn lighting: soft golden-hour tones, gentle directional light, and warm rim lighting that separates the character(s) from the background, lighting every character consistently as though photographed in the same moment.

Render the entire image consistently in the single art style selected in Step 1 — do not mix styles, and do not render any character in a different style from the others regardless of their individual reference's own tone. Apply that style's rendering conventions to every character, their outfits, the wind effects, and the environment alike, so the whole image reads as one cohesive piece.

The overall feeling should be warm, unhurried, and quietly cinematic — a portrait of people at peace, caught in a beautiful ordinary moment.

DO NOT

Do not invent additional characters beyond 
@ImageCount
.
Do not blend or merge features between different characters.
Do not change any character's identity, eye color, species traits, or signature design.
Do not use any character's original outfit — always apply the turtleneck, jeans, western boots, and goose down vest to each character.
Do not share or average outfit color palettes between characters — each character's colors must derive from their own individual reference.
Do not invent an accessory that wasn't already part of a character's design.
Do not select the art style randomly, or base it on any image other than 
@Image1
.
Do not select the art style based on the reference image's own rendering style rather than the character's personality.
Do not mix multiple art styles in one image, and do not render different characters in different styles.
Do not pose any character in a dramatic, combat-ready, or high-tension manner — the mood must stay relaxed and content.
Do not make the wind effect subtle or static — hair, fabric, and leaves must clearly show strong motion on every character.
Do not use a generic or empty background.
Do not display any name, title, caption, or text of any kind in the image.
Do not let any character appear disconnected, awkwardly cropped, or visually overwhelmed by another in group compositions.
Do not create malformed hands, extra limbs, distorted anatomy, or muddy textures.

The final image should feel like the single best frame from a professional autumn photoshoot — a warm, wind-swept, unmistakably personal portrait of the character(s) at ease, caught in a fleeting gust of September air.

Refinement notes

Three useful ways to customize it

01

Subject and action

Replace the central subject first, then adjust its pose, action, expression, or relationship to the scene.

02

Composition and light

Change the viewpoint, crop, negative space, light direction, and contrast before layering on more style words.

03

Output shape

The saved reference uses 1:1. Change the aspect ratio to match the final placement before refining small details.
