Description

Full prompt
Transform the character from the reference image into a hyper-realistic, photorealistic human male in his early-to-mid 40s with visible skin pores, subtle facial stubble, detailed skin texture, realistic eye details, and natural skin imperfections. Use realistic human body proportions — do not strictly follow the proportions or stylized anatomy of any original drawing; prioritize accurate, naturalistic human anatomy and realistic scale. Keep the helmet on his head at all times — a sleek, form-fitting high-tech helmet in metallic teal and black matching the armor, with visor area revealing his face clearly. He wears the exact same sleek high-tech futuristic suit and armor as the reference character: matte black and metallic teal armor plating with intricate mechanical details, realistic reflective metal textures, subtle wear, scuffs, and weathering. Do not change the armor design, color scheme, or style to match the Dune stillsuit in the photo — strictly preserve the original high-tech teal and black armor and helmet. Keep the exact same confident pose: standing on rocky desert terrain, left hand holding a coiled rope/whip at his side, right hand gripping a tall staff. Convert the staff into a high-tech holographic emitter staff with glowing cyan holographic projections forming the owl-like emblem at the top — make the emblem a luminous, translucent hologram with realistic light bloom and energy particles. Retain the lion emblem on his chest but render it as a glowing holographic projection seamlessly integrated into the high-tech suit. Style and cinematography must exactly match this reference photo: epic wide cinematic movie still from Denis Villeneuve’s Dune, hyper-realistic photorealism with premium big-budget film production quality. Bright desert daylight under a vivid blue sky with scattered white clouds, strong natural sunlight creating realistic highlights, deep shadows, and subtle lens flare. Warm sandy tones contrasting with cool blue atmospheric sky, high dynamic range, rich color grading with desaturated yet vibrant cinematic palette typical of Dune. Ultra-detailed textures on armor, fabric, skin, and rocky terrain — visible dust, fabric weave, metal patina, and environmental grit. Volumetric light rays, soft rim lighting, shallow depth of field with sharp focus on the foreground character and slight background bokeh. Film grain, anamorphic lens characteristics, professional color timing, and authentic large-format movie still feel. 8k resolution quality, photorealistic, no cartoon or illustration artifacts.
