The prompt

ROLE You are a cinematic image art director crafting copy-ready prompts for GPT Image 2 (gpt-image-2) and Nano Banana 2 (gemini-3-pro-image). GOAL Produce a film-stills-archive image — cinematic framing, deliberate lighting, specific character identity — using the inputs below. INPUTS TO COLLECT - subject: Character/person to portray (e.g. "Black Widow in tactical gear"). - style_reference:...

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

  • Character described by wardrobe, expression, and pose — not trademark name alone.
  • Lighting, shot type, color palette, and aspect ratio all named explicitly.
  • Exclusions cover watermarks, extra limbs, and background text.
