Bright Impasto Miniature Poster
Use the system imagegen skill and image-generation tool. Treat every uploaded photograph as an edit source and preserve a direct visual relationship between the real upper image and the interpreted lower artwork.
Output contract
- Produce one independent raster poster for every uploaded photo. Never combine photos into a collage, contact sheet, diptych, or shared canvas.
- Use a 3:4 portrait canvas with one exact horizontal 50/50 division. Keep truthful photography in the upper half and the impasto miniature artwork in the lower half. Do not let either medium invade the other.
- Rebuild the lower hero as a refined, tactile miniature with clear volume and recognizable identity—not as a literal photo copy, flat illustration, cutout, or generic toy.
- Return every poster as a separate image. Keep user-facing commentary to one short status sentence only when necessary.
Preserve the photographic upper half
Keep the source recognizably photographic. Preserve subject identity and count, anatomy or construction, proportions, pose, silhouette, direction, spatial relationships, real materials, natural light, and the original color atmosphere.
Apply only restrained art-magazine, independent-publication, or exhibition-photography color correction. Do not redraw, vectorize, beautify, materially relight, or apply paint texture, paper grain, illustration marks, or graphic overlays to this region.
Crop deliberately for the upper half. When more area is needed, extend only plausible sky, ground, wall, water, foliage, or environmental background. Never stretch, warp, mirror, duplicate, or redesign the subject.
Read the source before designing
For each photograph, privately identify:
- the single hero subject or inseparable relationship carrying recognition;
- its defining contour, posture, direction, scale, and identity details;
- a thematic color band that can support it as water, ground, path, light, shadow, or an abstract scene slice;
- the hero's visual weight and a useful centered or lightly offset diagonal axis;
- one low-weight natural motif group that may deepen the scene without creating another focal point;
- the brightest, freshest, most life-giving source color and one sunlit warm accent;
- one short supported title and, only when useful, a tiny subtitle, number, or note.
Do not expose this analysis or repeat the user's design brief.
Rebuild the hero as a tactile miniature
Translate rather than mechanically reproduce. Reconstruct the source hero as a precise three-dimensional miniature with sculptural mass, clear overlap, surface depth, and a stable relationship to its painted support. Preserve the subject's core identity and key features while adjusting viewpoint, proportions, or minor detail only when that produces a clearer miniature composition.
Adapt the form to the subject:
- architecture: recognizable massing, openings, roof or facade planes, and grounded placement;
- people and animals: characteristic pose, gesture, direction, expression or clothing cues, natural balance, and credible contact;
- plants: growth direction, branching volume, layered leaves or petals, and rooted emergence;
- objects and vehicles: defining body shape, functional cues, orientation, and support or movement;
- landscapes and natural subjects: sculpted terrain, water, strata, light, or weather reduced to one memorable spatial fragment.
The hero should feel handcrafted and painterly, yet refined. Avoid cartoon simplification, collectible-toy proportions, plastic surfaces, glossy product rendering, or e-commerce asset polish.
Paint the diagonal thematic field
Place the hero on one clear, source-related impasto color band over bright warm-white textured paper. The band may become water, terrain, road, path, shoreline, light strip, shadow, cloud shelf, or an abstract landscape slice. It should follow a centered or lightly offset diagonal axis and carry the eye through the lower composition.
Make the hero interact naturally with the field through standing, growing, crossing, embedding, reflection, ripples, wake, light spots, shadow, or extended strokes. Do not paste a rendered subject onto a decorative swipe.
Concentrate tactile paint on the field, water, clouds, local light, and a few hero highlights. Show palette-knife ridges, accumulated pigment, irregular raised edges, layered color, and semi-hand-shaped transitions. Let the remaining paper stay visibly quiet and physical.
Compose a poetic miniature landscape
Use abundant negative space and one diagonal visual axis. Center or slightly offset the hero according to its mass, facing direction, and movement rather than by formula. Keep a clear entry, focal hold, and quiet exit.
Add at most one sparse group of source-supported clouds, sun, mist, plants, waves, or abstract natural forms. Use it only to create light atmospheric depth; keep it subordinate and separated enough that it never becomes a second subject.
Present the finished work as a flat poster on real paper. Do not add a frame, wall, desk, hands, easel, studio, gallery mockup, or product packaging.
Build a clear life-filled palette
Select the brightest and most spirited source color rather than averaging the entire photograph. Raise its lightness and purity while retaining sophistication. Depending on the source, use clear sky blue, lake cyan, tender green, warm yellow, coral orange, peach pink, or another naturally supported lively hue.
Use abundant clean warm white as breathing room. Balance one fresh principal family with a very small warm orange, gold, coral, or pink sunlight accent. Create an airy cool/warm relationship that feels bright, healing, fresh, warm, light, and alive.
Avoid muddy gray, aged yellowing, dull low contrast, dark brown filters, generalized Morandi desaturation, neon fluorescence, rainbow palettes, and sugary candy color. The main color may be vivid but must not become harsh.
Integrate restrained typography
Derive one concise title from the supported subject identity, place, mood, action, or symbolic meaning. Add only a tiny subtitle, number, or micro-note when it improves rhythm.
Place text along the diagonal axis, hero edge, impasto boundary, or a genuine paper gap. Keep type precise, delicate, and subordinate, like a refined art-publication annotation. Do not paste a generic title block onto the composition.
Do not invent logos, brands, years, issue numbers, coordinates, unsupported locations, long explanations, pseudo-language, signatures, or watermarks.
Compile the image-edit prompt
Write one source-specific production prompt per input photo containing:
- one independent 3:4 portrait output and the exact 50% photography / 50% impasto-miniature split;
- the upper-half preservation invariants, restrained color correction, deliberate crop, and any safe background extension;
- the lower hero's identity cues, pose or direction, sculptural volume, position, and contact with the field;
- the thematic color band's meaning, diagonal geometry, raised edges, perspective or flow, and physical interaction with the hero;
- the negative-space shape, eye path, atmospheric depth, and any one subordinate natural motif group;
- the miniature's refined tactile treatment, concentrated impasto passages, palette-knife marks, and surrounding real-paper texture;
- the exact bright source-derived principal color, warm-white breathing room, and small sunlight accent;
- the exact short title and optional microtext with their composition-aware placement;
- hard exclusions: no multi-photo layout, no altered or redrawn upper subject, no approximate split, no literal lower photo copy, no flat illustration, no pasted-on hero, no generic paint swipe, no cartoon toy, no plastic CGI, no e-commerce look, no template miniature scene, no muddy, Morandi, neon, or candy palette, no second focal point, no mockup environment, no logo, and no watermark.
Use concrete spatial, material, and interaction language rather than relying on adjectives such as “premium,” “healing,” or “3D.”
Inspect and correct
Review every result at full size and thumbnail size. Verify the exact split, truthful upper photography, immediate lower-subject recognition, sculptural volume, stable contact, meaningful interaction with the diagonal field, visible impasto relief, clean warm paper, bright source-derived color, and ample quiet space.
If the hero looks flat, strengthen volume, overlap, side planes, thickness, and contact shadow. If it looks pasted on, create reflection, ripples, embedding, roots, wake, crossing, or shared paint strokes. If the result looks plastic or toy-like, remove glossy CGI cues and introduce painterly surface variation. If the lower half is crowded, remove secondary motifs and restore paper. If the palette is muddy, dull, neon, or candy-like, return to warm white, one high-key source color, and one restrained sunlit accent. If typography feels detached, align it to the diagonal field or remove it. Regenerate with one targeted correction when needed.
