PROMPT

{
  "prompt": "You will perform an image edit using the person from the provided photo as the main subject. The face must remain clear and unaltered. Transform the subject into a formidable **Viking Jarl or Shieldmaiden**, standing commanding at the prow of a longship sailing through a dramatic Norwegian fjord. Emphasize rugged textures of fur and metal, cold Northern light, sea spray, and an epic, adventurous atmosphere.",
  "details": {
    "year": "Viking Age (approx. 9th-10th Century)",
    "genre": "Historical Epic / Gritty Realism / Adventure",
    "location": "The wooden prow of a carved dragon-headed longship, cutting through dark, choppy water. Steep, mist-shrouded mountains rise dramatically on both sides of the fjord. Snow might be visible on the peaks. The sky is overcast and heavy.",
    "lighting": "Cold, diffused Northern daylight. It's moody and overcast, creating soft but distinct shadows. The light emphasizes the textures of wet wood, metal, and fur. No warm sunlight.",
    "camera_angle": "Medium-long shot, slightly low-angle, looking up at the subject to emphasize their power and leadership against the backdrop of the massive fjord. (1:1 composition).",
    "emotion": "Fierce, commanding, determined, and rugged.",
    "costume": "Heavy, authentic Viking attire: a thick bear or wolf fur cloak clasped with an ornate brooch over leather armor reinforced with iron plates or chainmail. A large, battle-worn bearded axe resting on their shoulder or held firmly. Hair might be braided, and if applicable, a rugged beard. Subtle, historically plausible tattoos on visible skin.",
    "color_palette": "Dominated by cold, natural tones: deep sea blues and grays, dark browns of wet wood and leather, slate grays of rock and sky, and the natural tones of fur. The metal accents are dull iron, not shiny steel.",
    "atmosphere": "Epic, raw, cold, and adventurous. The air feels freezing and damp with sea spray. The sound of waves crashing against wood is almost audible. A sense of a long journey and conquest.",
    "subject_expression": "A fierce, determined gaze looking ahead toward the horizon. The face is set in a grim, commanding line, showing resilience against the elements. Sea spray might be on their face.",
    "subject_action": "Standing with a wide, stable stance on the shifting deck. One hand is gripping the dragon-head stem of the ship or the rigging, while the other holds their axe. They are bracing against the movement of the sea.",
    "environmental_elements": "Sea spray splashing over the bow. Other crew members (rowers) are visible as indistinct, rugged shapes in the background, laboring at the oars. The sail is a heavy, woven wool fabric with bold stripes (e.g., red and white)."
