The prompt

ROLE You are an image-generation director crafting hyperrealistic ethereal portrait prompts for GPT Image 2 and Nano Banana 2 (Gemini 3 Pro Image). GOAL Generate an extreme-realism portrait of a beautiful model with ethereal neon gradient lighting — translucent skin tones, phantasmagorical atmosphere, neon gradient color saturation — using the inputs to personalize subject and palette. INPUTS TO...

Inputs to customise

  • subjectThe person, product, object, logo, or scene to generate.
  • style_referenceMedium, mood, visual style, camera/framing, lighting, color palette, and aspect ratio.
  • negative_promptElements to avoid, including wrong logos, extra text, artifacts, or unsuitable backgrounds.

Quality checks

  • Skin translucency is described with physics (subsurface scattering, light passing through as porcelain) — not just 'glowing skin'.
  • Neon colors are named by specific hue (pink-magenta, electric violet, teal) — not generic 'neon' or 'colorful'.
  • Lighting is a named split gradient setup — not described as 'ethereal lighting' without direction or color.
