Prompt
A majestic Chinese ink-wash fantasy poster inspired by Journey to the West, composed as a double-exposure silhouette of {argument name="character name" default="Sun Wukong"} in left-facing profile occupying most of the page. The portrait is formed from soft sepia, ash gray, parchment white, and smoky black watercolor textures on an off-white paper background with splattered brush edges and negative space. The figure has a strong simian facial profile, a short beard, and a golden circlet across the brow. Inside and around the silhouette, build a layered mythic landscape in traditional shan shui style with luminous mist, cliffs, clouds, and ancient temples. At the top center inside the head, place a glowing full moon behind a celestial Buddha-like figure seated above a grand heavenly palace complex with multiple tiered roofs. In the upper-middle right, show 4 traveling figures on a cliff path: a monkey warrior with a staff, a monk riding a white horse, a pig-faced companion, and a dark-robed companion. In the middle, depict 1 dramatic battle scene of the monkey warrior confronting a coiling dragon or serpent in swirling clouds. In the lower-right, place 1 illuminated temple shrine nestled in the mountains with a golden sacred statue visible inside. In the lower area, add 3 tiny pilgrims walking through the misty valley. Use atmospheric depth, elegant calligraphic brushwork, drifting fog, and a refined cinematic composition that feels painterly rather than digital. Add vertical Chinese calligraphy on the left reading {argument name="title text" default="西游记"}, with smaller vertical side text and several seal-style stamps for an authentic poster design. Include another subtle vertical location inscription on the right cliff face. The mood is sacred, epic, ancient, mystical, and poetic, with premium concept-art polish and almost no generic AI look.39:T75Prompt breakdown

Dark Xianxia Shattered Glass Poster
Goal: Create a vertical cinematic anime emotion-fragment poster for a dark xianxia swordsman named Han Li (character name), using a moody shattered-glass collage style. Canvas: Tall 9:16 poster, approximately 675 x 1200 px, black and deep green color palette with cold blue highlights, high contrast, dramatic rim lighting, realistic anime-fantasy rendering. Layout: The poster is split by jagged cracked-glass shards with thin glowing gold fracture lines. Use exactly 5 main visual fragments: 1 large central portrait fragment showing a long-haired male cultivator in layered dark robes reaching toward the viewer with a spell-casting hand gesture; 1 upper-right close-up shard showing one intense eye, pale skin, loose black hair, and a small blood scratch; 1 mid-right shard showing an open hand surrounded by lightning; 1 lower-left shard showing folded dark robe fabric and bamboo leaves; 1 lower-right shard showing a black sword hilt or scabbard engraved with small Chinese characters and crossed by lightning cracks. Add a dark opaque rectangular block over the center of the face, as if the face is intentionally obscured. Subject details: The character has long windblown black (hair color) hair tied partly back with a small silver ornament, a sharp mysterious expression, pale skin, dark layered ancient Chinese robes with subtle embroidered patterns, and hands performing a cultivation spell. His front hand is closest to camera, fingers extended dynamically with shallow depth of field. Surround him with bamboo stalks and leaves, smoky mist, sparks, and thin arcs of golden-white lightning. Text content: Include exactly 2 visible Chinese text elements on the left side. The first is a huge vertical brush-calligraphy title reading 韩立 (main Chinese title), off-white with rough ink texture, placed over a dark green brushstroke. The second is a smaller vertical green calligraphy subtitle reading 念头通达 (subtitle text), placed below the title between two thin vertical divider lines. Visual style: Ultra-detailed dark fantasy anime poster, cinematic lighting, fractured mirror composition, textured calligraphy, ink-brush energy, wuxia/xianxia atmosphere, dramatic depth, sharp glass edges, black background, bamboo forest hints, premium character-poster finish. Constraints: Keep the composition vertical and dense, with no extra characters, no modern objects, no watermark, no English text on the poster, and preserve the exact count of 5 visual fragments and 2 text elements.39:Ta36,Goal
Ink Wash Double Exposure Poster
[Main Subject] A large, highly recognizable silhouette of a figure (subject) (head, face outline, or outer contour) fills the upper portion of the frame as the dominant visual shape. Within the lower and middle area, the same character appears in full body, standing still or in subtle motion, serving as the secondary focal point and visual core. [Composition] Double exposure and collage storytelling lives inside and around the large silhouette: multiple scenes, layered imagery, smaller character moments, supporting elements, and environmental layers blend together within clouds, ink wash, and whitewash. Side panels on the left and right echo each other, adding narrative tension and spatial rhythm. A flowing thread of visual cues links the main figure, internal collage, and surrounding silhouette, guiding the eye through the composition. [Style] A large portion of the canvas is left as negative white space. Edges are softened with ink stains, frayed brushwork, and dissolving textures, evoking the breath and emptiness of Oriental aesthetics. Overall mood: cohesive, refined, restrained, emphasizing layered storytelling, serialized poster language, and a strong central visual impact. Aspect ratio: 9:16.
Anime Silhouette Narrative Poster
Based on Attack on Titan (theme), automatically generate a collectible, epic narrative poster: use the side-profile silhouette of Mikasa Ackerman with her red scarf flowing (character) as the outer contour. Within the silhouette, let a complete world organically grow that best fits the theme. The burning streets of Shiganshina reflect in her eyes; young Eren Yeager’s smile fades within the smoke; the Ackerman bloodline crest appears subtly like a watermark; the sea breeze of the final battlefield carries away all memories; fragments of a countdown hourglass transform into falling cherry blossoms, then dissolve into ashes. The overall composition should not be a simple collage, but a refined silhouette-filled narrative synthesis. It should carry a double-exposure associative effect, yet lean more toward a fusion of cinematic poster and dreamy watercolor illustration. Use soft atmospheric perspective, gentle mist transitions, paper grain texture, white edges with brushstroke marks, and large areas of negative space. The layout should feel restrained, premium, quiet, grand, sacred, nostalgic, poetic, and legendary. Color palette: crimson blended with gray, muted pink, deep obsidian black (colors). All elements—style, color, scenes, materials—must automatically adapt to the theme, with every detail strongly bound to it. Instantly recognizable at a glance. Avoid clutter, forced collage, template-style backgrounds, or cheap fantasy assets.39:T60

Double Exposure Character Poster Prompt
A character promotional poster titled “INPUT NAME (poster title)”, designed in a unified vertical key visual composition (9:16). Each poster follows a hierarchy of large top and smaller bottom structure: the upper half features the most recognizable element of the character (head, facial contour, mask, or upper-body silhouette) as a dominant oversized visual, forming a highly identifiable silhouette. The middle to lower section contains the full character as a secondary subject, shown in a stable standing pose or with subtle movement, establishing the visual core of the composition. Inside the large silhouette and around the character, use a double-exposure and collage-style narrative composition. Multiple scenes, symbolic imagery, small character interactions, supporting elements, and environmental details are layered and blended into mist, ink wash, and negative space. The left and right sides include complementary secondary elements to create narrative tension and spatial variation. A continuous flowing visual line runs from top to bottom, connecting the main character, internal collage, and the large upper silhouette, enhancing cohesion and guiding the viewer’s eye. The overall composition preserves large areas of negative space. Edges are treated with ink diffusion, soft blurring, and fragmented transitions, creating a balance between presence and absence inspired by Eastern aesthetics. The style is cohesive, refined, and restrained, emphasizing depth, storytelling, strong visual impact, and a consistent series-style poster language.3c:T63
