Ultra-realistic digital illustration style, themed around the scene from the user-uploaded image, presenting the passage of the four seasons within a single, unified composition. From left to right, the image naturally transitions through winter, spring, summer, and autumn: The far left depicts winter, showing a cold, snow-covered environment. Gradually moving right, the snow melts, nature awakens, and fresh buds emerge, signaling a vibrant spring. Continuing further, vegetation becomes dense and lush under bright, intense sunlight, revealing the fullness of summer. Finally, the scene gently transitions into autumn on the far right, where leaves gradually turn golden yellow and orange-red, expressing the rich colors and atmosphere of fall. The entire image has no visible dividing lines; climate, lighting, and vegetation blend seamlessly between seasons, creating smooth transitions and forming a unified composition filled with a sense of time’s flow and symbolic meaning. Rich, highly realistic details, cinematic-quality lighting and shading, 8K ultra-high resolution, fine and delicate textures, 4:3 aspect ratio.
Make a photo in a perfectly isometric angle. It must be a realistic live-action photographic style, not illustration or CGI. It is not a miniature; it is a real captured photo that happens to be perfectly isometric. The photo shows a real-life office Christmas party.
Use the subject from the uploaded photo — including the subject’s actual gender — and apply an artistic red–blue double-exposure effect using two poses of the same person. Keep the base layer as the original pose and background exactly as in the uploaded photo. Generate a second pose where their head angle, facial direction, or expression is slightly different, as if captured a moment earlier or later. Color the second pose in red, the base pose in cyan, and offset the layers to create a clean ghosting effect. Preserve skin texture, tattoos, contrast, and maintain the original background.
Use the subject from the uploaded photo and transform it into a 1/7–scale premium ornament. Preserve the original shape, structure, and details of the product exactly as in the uploaded image (do not remove lids, change openings, or alter any design elements). Render it realistically with smooth, high-quality textures, clearly toy-like but not lifelike human skin. Hang this ornament on an indoor Christmas tree using a wide silk ribbon or string, ensuring it blends naturally with the branches. The scene should be warm and festive, filled with golden lights, ornaments, and a cozy Christmas glow. Ensure the product feels like a high-end collectible, fully integrated with the environment, with the image clean, clear, and focused on the ornament.
{ "scene": { "type": "aerial_drone_view", "perspective": "top-down, looking directly at the object from above", "background": { "type": "urban_cityscape", "lighting": "realistic daylight with natural shadows and reflections" } }, "subject": { "object_type": "large_luxury_shopping_bag", "material": "smooth, premium leather or high-quality glossy finish", "details": { "logo": "golden 'InsMind' embossed", "contents": "filled with products from user-uploaded images", "suspension": "hanging from a wide silk ribbon under a drone" }, "lighting": "soft and realistic highlights and shadows on the surface", "texture": "highly detailed, tactile, realistic reflections" }, "composition": { "framing": "ultra high-quality, professional, cinematic composition", "focus": "shopping bag in sharp detail, cityscape slightly blurred", "quality": "ultra-detailed, photorealistic, high-resolution rendering" } }
Use the nano pro model to generate a Christmas tree formed by deep green ribbons spiraling upward with smooth curves and a glossy, dimensional texture. Decorate the tree with the beauty products from the user-uploaded image, preserving their original appearance, colors, packaging, and printed details without alteration. Add silver Christmas balls, heart-shaped ornaments, a vintage pocket watch, and red-and-white candy canes as additional festive elements. The background should be a clean, rich red tone that feels premium and vibrant. Use soft, bright lighting to highlight the ribbon texture and showcase the beauty products clearly. Maintain a centered, balanced composition with a modern, celebratory visual style.
Use the animal from Image 1 as the subject. Use the tall product from Image 2 as the giant object. A bright, clean European-style living room corner with warm tones, soft textures, and elegant home décor. Top-down (slightly high-angle) perspective. Soft, bright ambient lighting. The animal from Image 1 stands upright on its hind legs, lifting its front paws to hold and cling onto the super-enlarged, vertically standing product from Image 2 (the product should be significantly taller than the animal). The animal slightly turns its head toward the camera, looking directly into the lens with a lively, natural, energetic expression. The product from Image 2 must receive lighting, reflections, shadows, and ambient bounce light consistent with the European-style living room, ensuring it visually blends into the environment naturally and convincingly. Clear textures, gentle color palette, warm atmosphere, natural shadows, harmonious scale contrast. Cute, fresh, soft-Japanese aesthetic blended with a European interior setting. High-resolution render, no additional characters, no extra props unless necessary for realism. This is an EDIT using the subjects from the uploaded images: – The animal identity, fur, and posture must follow Image 1. – The product appearance, material, and shape must strictly follow Image 2, with environmental lighting integration. – Background is new (European-style living room). – Keep composition consistent with a warm lifestyle photo.
Use the person from the user’s uploaded Image 1 holding a giant-sized version of the product from Image 2. Bright metal elevator interior, brushed stainless-steel texture, clean reflections, soft overhead lighting. Slight top-down camera angle from elevator ceiling corner. Fresh Japanese aesthetic: airy tones, gentle contrast, light desaturation, natural skin texture. The person’s expression and posture remain true to Image 1, but with natural, youthful energy, relaxed shoulders, lively eyes. The giant product should feel physically present with correct lighting, proportional shadows, and slight squeeze in the character’s arms to show weight. Elevator control panel and metal seams visible for realism. Overall atmosphere: playful, clean, bright, modern. This is an EDIT, not a new character. Preserve: facial identity, hairstyle, clothing style, and camera perspective from Image 1. Integrate giant product from Image 2 seamlessly into the person’s arms.
The Cat robot, presented in a high-contrast scientific studio render against a pure black void. This tight right-side profile features a false-color thermal X-ray aesthetic, where the transparent shell reveals a sharply detailed internal architecture of batteries, drivers, and sensors using a vibrant heatmap gradient. The colors shift from deep cool blues to intense yellows and red highlights, creating a futuristic, clinical look with orthographic perspective and a soft, neon-like glow.
Puppy nose close-up with a fisheye lens, exaggerated perspective, rounded frame, edges warped, playful expression, soft daylight, warm tones, social media viral style, background outside fisheye area completely black.no text
A hyper-realistic fisheye wide-angle selfie, captured with a vintage 35mm fisheye lens creating heavy barrel distortion. without any camera or phone visible in the subject’s hands. Subject & Action: A close-up, distorted group photo featuring [Person From Uploaded Image] taking selfie with Jesus and Santa Claus. Everyone is making wild, exaggerated faces, squinting slightly from the flash. Lighting & Texture: Harsh, direct on-camera flash lighting that creates hard shadows behind the subjects. Authentic film grain, slight motion blur on the edges, and chromatic aberration. It looks like a candid, amateur snapshot as if captured during a chaotic behind-the-scenes moment, not a studio photo.
Extreme wide-angle remix EDIT. Use the original image as strict reference for the person’s identity, hairstyle, outfit style, and the SAME location type. This is an EDIT, not a new character. Generate a 4-panel grid (2×2). Each panel MUST have a different pose, angle, and near-lens body part. No repetition. Camera / Perspective Ultra-wide / fisheye (12–18mm). Dramatic angles required: worm’s-eye, bird’s-eye, low/high, Dutch tilt. Strong foreshortening: near-lens parts appear huge. Photorealistic fashion/street style. Background Keep SAME location; do NOT replace it. Different angles may show new areas—extend environment logically with matching structures, materials, colors, lighting. Near-lens Parts (1–2, sometimes 3) Each panel uses different parts: hands/fingers, feet/shoes, knees/thighs, face, shoulders/chest. Must come extremely close with clear texture and distortion. Pose / Body Each panel must have a UNIQUE dynamic pose: standing with limbs forward, crouching, sitting, lying with feet toward lens, leaning in, twisting, crossed legs, arched back. Complex combos allowed (hands+feet, both hands, both feet, face close with limbs in perspective). Anatomy must remain believable. Angle / Attitude Randomize orientation per panel (up/down/side/tilt). Keep cool, confident fashion/editorial or street vibe. Expressions can vary but must remain the same person. Lighting / Rendering Keep lighting/time consistent with original. You may enhance contrast/color. Maintain realistic shadows and ground contact. High-resolution, sharp textures. Variation (VERY IMPORTANT) All 4 panels must differ clearly: – different camera angles – different poses – different near-lens parts – different orientation Avoid ANY repeated composition. Strict Rules Do NOT change the person. Do NOT change outfit type. Do NOT move to another location. Do NOT add text/logos. Do NOT use illustration/anime; keep photorealistic.
A giant Christmas 3D billboard on the side of a modern building in a lively urban street adorned with festive Christmas lights, wreaths, and ornaments. On the 3D billboard is a confident woman (from attached image) wearing a festive yet fashion-forward outfit — glittery red jacket, green stylish scarf, patterned boots. She’s striking a playful pose, throwing a snowball that seems to come out of the billboard. Next to her, bold text styled like a luxury holiday slogan reads: “FROSTY & FABULOUS” with tagline "MAKE WINTER FUN". The 3D billboard combines high-fashion elegance with humorous Christmas vibes. Photorealistic, stylish, culturally modern, and meme-inspired.
A giant Christmas curve-edge horizontal long-strip 3D anamorphic billboard on the side of a modern building at a busy crossroad, streets decorated with Christmas lights, garlands, and festive ornaments. Inside the wide 3D billboard is a cozy Christmas-decorated living room scene — warm fireplace glow, decorated tree, stockings, red-green holiday accents. In this scene stands a woman (from attached image) dressed in a cozy winter-chic outfit — oversized red coat, patterned mittens, wool hat. She’s playfully tossing tiny wrapped presents that appear to float off the billboard and land on the street below. Next to her, bold text styled like a luxury holiday slogan reads: “SPREAD JOY, ONE GIFT AT A TIME” with tagline "MAKE IT MAGICAL". The 3D billboard mixes high-fashion elegance with whimsical anamorphic style. Photorealistic, stylish, culturally modern, and meme-inspired.
A giant Christmas 3D billboard designed as a vertical long-strip screen on the side of a modern building in a busy urban street decorated with festive Christmas lights, garlands, and ornaments. Inside the 3D billboard is a Christmas-themed interior space, filled with warm red-green color accents, soft golden holiday lighting, subtle snow-sparkle reflections, and elegant Christmas decorations such as ornaments, ribbons, and festive patterns along the background surfaces. Within this Christmas-decorated space stands a cheerful person (from attached image, gender-neutral wording), fully positioned inside the billboard. They are wearing a festive Santa-inspired outfit with a modern twist — red velvet jacket, playful patterned scarf, stylish boots. They hold a giant candy cane that slightly extends out of the 3D billboard, creating a playful breaking-the-frame illusion. Next to them, bold text styled like a luxury holiday slogan reads: “MERRY & BRIGHT SINCE BIRTH” with tagline “BUT MAKE IT FESTIVE”. The 3D billboard mixes high-fashion elegance with joyful Christmas humor. Photorealistic, stylish, culturally modern, and meme-inspired.

Product photography, perfectly straight-on frontal view. CRITICAL: The original art style, linework, and character features of the input illustration MUST BE STRICTLY PRESERVED. Do not abstract or simplify the drawing itself. The artwork is a physical multi-layered construction mounted on a white wall. **COMPOSITION RULE:** 1. The aspect ratio and orientation of the final product photography should match the dimensions of the input source image. 2. A large clear base panel is secured with visible metallic standoffs. 3. Crucially, the entire die-cut illustration (all layers) MUST be contained entirely within the boundaries of this base panel. 4. There should be an appropriate clear margin between the edges of the illustration and the edges of the base panel. **MATERIAL PHYSICS RULE (HIGH TRANSMISSION):** On top of the base, the illustration is reconstructed using **ultra-clear, highly luminous tinted acrylic sheets** designed for maximal light transmission. 1. The colors are the color of the transparent material itself (glass-like), not painted. 2. **For Skin/White Areas:** MUST be **pure, colorless, ultra-clear glass-like acrylic**. 3. **For Colored Areas (Hair/Clothes):** Use **highly translucent colored acrylic**. The color is vibrant but extremely see-through, allowing significant light to pass. **LIGHTING & SHADOWS:** Strong cool diagonal lighting passes through the highly transparent artwork. **Instead of creating dark or heavy shadows, the light casts bright, glowing, highly translucent colorful caustics onto the wall, showing the wall's texture underneath.** The shadow area should feel light and airy, revealing the original colors as bright projections. 8k resolution, ultra-detailed.

Use the uploaded photo. Keep the person fully photorealistic — face, body, clothing, colors, and textures unchanged. Do NOT alter background perspective or turn the person into an illustration. Add dense pop-style illustrated “Christmas monsters” and graphic decorations ONLY around the person (and on top of their clothing if needed), but never on their skin or face. Illustrated elements: - many colorful cartoon monsters with thick black outlines, flat colors, and cute-but-ugly expressions - Christmas-inspired monsters: Christmas tree, snowman, reindeer, Santa Claus, gingerbread man, Christmas pudding, gift boxes, star, stockings, candles, bells, wreath - additional graphic shapes: stars, hearts, arrows, drips, splashes, zigzag lines, exclamation marks, motion lines, sparkles, bubbles, comic-style text shapes (but no real text) Make the decoration very dense and “busy”: - fill background with overlapping Christmas monsters and shapes - add monsters peeking from behind the shoulders, around the bag, at the person’s feet, and near the head - allow some monsters and shapes to overlap the clothing and accessories (shirt, shorts, bag, shoes), but keep the skin of the face, arms, and legs photorealistic and visible - use multiple layers of illustrations in front of and behind the person to create depth - add glowing outlines, small white dots, and speed lines around the person to emphasize energy Color & style: vivid neon palette (hot pink, yellow, cyan, lime, orange, purple, turquoise) flat, graphic, clean-edge illustrations with bold outlines slight shadows where monsters touch clothing for realism Goal: Create a highly decorated, maximalist pop-art scene where the real person stands in the middle, surrounded and wrapped by a chaotic crowd of playful Christmas monsters and graphic doodles, while the person remains clearly photorealistic.
