🔥 Prompt:
Create a hyper-realistic photograph with a [x:y] aspect ratio, shot from the side using a wide-angle lens at f/1.4 aperture to produce a shallow depth of field and pronounced perspective distortion emphasizing the big nose effect on close objects. Through a torn, pristine white sheet of paper, an ultra-cute and adorable [snake] peeks out in half-profile, as if curiously sniffing the camera lens while gazing directly into it with wide, endearing eyes, evoking a sense of playful innocence and warmth in a minimalist, high-contrast composition.
Why This Prompt Works
✅ Iconic Color Palette
Limiting the palette to four contrasting tones—dark blue, near-white, pure white, and orange-yellow—evokes mid-century design with a bold and clean aesthetic. It forces clarity and simplicity, emphasizing structure and mood over realism.
✅ Engraved Cross-Hatching
Cross-hatch shading adds depth, texture, and vintage flair, mimicking hand-drawn illustrations from old newspapers or graphic novels.
✅ Visual Separation
Each visual element (face, clothing, background) has its own distinct tone to maintain strong hierarchy and clarity, even in a flat vector composition.
✅ Timeless Appeal
This style bridges the gap between classic poster art and contemporary digital design, making it ideal for merchandise, magazine covers, editorial portraits, and branding visuals.

🎨 Key Visual Components Breakdown
1. Color Scheme
- Dark Blue: Used for solid background and some outlines.
- Near-White: Base tone for facial skin—keeps the face visually distinct.
- Pure White: For clothing, emphasizing neutrality and contrast.
- Orange-Yellow: Accent color on clothing or small elements (earrings, pins, etc.).
❗ No gradients, no extra tones. Stick to flat fills and solid shadows.
2. Textures & Shading
- Engraved Cross-Hatching: Adds depth to cheekbones, under eyes, neck, and hairlines.
- Aged Paper Grain Texture: Overlay texture adds subtle vintage grit—mimics real-world print posters.
3. Composition Rules
- Pose & Expression: Must match original subject photo.
- Lighting: High-contrast (think chiaroscuro), emphasizing light against shadow.
- Background: Always dark blue, minimal, and non-distracting.
4. Line Work
- Uniform Stroke Width: Keeps image looking like it belongs in a poster or screenprint.
- No Blur or Noise: Edges must be sharp, crisp, and clean—this is vector style, not painterly.
💡 Pro Tips for Visual Consistency
- Batch Render Multiple Subjects: Use the same prompt format with different names or references to create a collectible series.
- Test With Different Seeds: Small changes in
--seedcan slightly shift line density or layout while keeping core structure. - Match Line Style Across Edits: Don’t mix soft sketch lines with vector strokes. Commit to vector look.
- Texture Overlay as Final Pass: Add aged grain texture over the final render in Photoshop or another tool if your AI model doesn’t support textures.
🔧 Customization Ideas
- ✅ Swap orange-yellow for red or teal for alternate branding themes (if limited palette allows).
- ✅ Add frame or border in dark blue for a retro print feel.
- ✅ Use vertical format (2:3 or 4:5) for poster-like effect.
- ✅ Add vector halftone dots for added retro authenticity.
