#2276
Prompt

Image prompt: Subject name: {Enter Name Here} Create a 4:5 vertical portrait art poster in the style of traditional East Asian ink wash painting. The medium should evoke rice paper texture, using a monochromatic palette of black, grey, and off-white ink tones, with generous negative space and a refined, museum-quality feel. Based on the uploaded reference photo, faithfully preserve the subject’s facial features, hairstyle, and personal aura in a half-body portrait composition. The rendering style is ink wash portraiture, not photography, not cartoon, not anime. Facial details should be delicate and softly diffused with natural ink gradients. On the left side of the composition, place the subject’s full name written in large flowing cursive calligraphy script as the dominant visual symbol. The name should be written vertically in a single elegant column, using bold expressive ink strokes with dry brush flying-white effects, ink drips, and ink bloom diffusion. Accompany it with a small vermillion seal stamp nearby. Based on the subject’s name, overall mood, and personal aura, automatically generate one elegant poetic English phrase of 8 to 12 words. The phrase should feel classically literary and not modern colloquial, refined and natural and not overly obscure or kitschy, and deeply evocative of the subject’s spirit and temperament. Only this one generated phrase should appear in the composition with no repetition and no full-page text coverage. This poetic phrase must be rendered in flowing cursive calligraphy script and organically compose the contours of the figure, tracing the subject’s head silhouette, hair flow, facial outline, neck, shoulder, and upper body lines. The calligraphic strokes should not be placed beside the figure as decoration. Instead the viewer should feel as if the phrase naturally emerges from the rice paper as the person’s form, as if the letters become the figure and the poetry becomes the person. Preserve large areas of open negative space with rice paper texture. In the lower left add faint ink wash distant mountains, flowing water, or a small boat as traditional landscape elements. In the upper right add sparse ink plum blossom or flowering branch strokes for compositional balance. These background elements must be restrained and subordinate and must never compete with the portrait.

Seedance video Prompt: A cinematic 15-second sequence in traditional Chinese ink wash painting style on textured rice paper background. An elderly martial arts master with long white beard, topknot, and flowing grey robes performs an explosive Kung Fu staff routine. He lunges forward with fierce intensity, then swings the wooden staff in powerful arcs - upward overhead strikes, spinning downward slashes, and a full 360-degree pirouette. As he moves, thick black liquid ink trails follow the staff tip, painting dynamic 3D calligraphy strokes that splash and bleed into the air. The camera rapidly tracks the action with low angles, quick pans, and rotating shots. Dense chaotic ink strokes accumulate around him. In the final moments, the master fades away completely, and all the lingering ink trails snap together and morph into a this word “SIFU YIK” on the paper background. reference photo as the end frame. Sumi-e aesthetic, monochrome palette with subtle grey tones, rough expressive brushwork, high contrast, mystical Wuxia atmosphere
