Prompt

A cinematic, dreamy photograph of the uploaded reference character's exact likeness, drifting alone on an oversized folded paper boat through a quiet flooded city street at blue hour, just after rain.  Likeness Integrity (CRITICAL): - Maintain exact proportions, eye shape, spacing, stylization, silhouette, and material identity of the reference character. - Do not humanize. Do not alter anatomy or facial structure. - If the character has no visible nose or mouth, do NOT add them. - Preserve the original color palette and surface finish exactly.  Subject & Action: - The character sits cross-legged near the stern of the paper boat, holding one small glowing paper lantern in both hands at chest height. - The paper boat is made of slightly damp, creased off-white paper; the bow edge is softened and darkened by water absorption. - Three tiny paper boats float behind it in a loose diagonal trail, each one smaller than the last. - One single drop of water falls from the lantern's base, creating a small ring on the water surface (CLEAR SEPARATION between the drop and the reflection). - The character's gaze is turned slightly upward, toward the off-frame sky.  Camera & Perspective: - Low angle, camera close to the water surface, 35mm lens. - Character placed on the left third of the frame, boat heading toward the right. - Framing rule (CRITICAL): the full boat and the character's full silhouette must stay inside the frame; do not crop the lantern. - Off-center composition, controlled imbalance, no symmetry.  Depth of Field (MANDATORY): - Primary focus plane: the character's face and the lantern. - Secondary sharpness: the boat's front fold and the nearest water ripples. - Background buildings, streetlights, and trailing boats dissolve into soft bokeh. - No full-frame sharpness.  Lighting: - The warm lantern glow is the key light, lighting the character's front and the inside of the boat from below. - Cool blue ambient fill from the twilight sky. - Subtle rim light along the character's silhouette from distant streetlights. - Deep shadow mass on the far side of the boat and in the water. - No flat lighting.  Atmosphere & Effects: - Thin low-hanging mist above the water surface. - Long, broken reflections of streetlights stretching across the water. - Fine film grain, slight chromatic aberration only at the outer edges. - Micro water droplets on the paper boat's surface.  Color & Background: - Dominant deep blue and slate-gray palette, with the lantern as the only warm accent. - Background facades are minimal and muted, with only a few dim lit windows. - No environmental clutter, no cars, no people.  Material & Texture: - Visible paper fibers, soft creases, and wet translucency along the paper boat's waterline. - Subtle subsurface glow through the lantern paper. - Micro detail only in the focus zone; everything else stays soft.  Mood: Quiet, lonely, hopeful.  Constraints: No text, no logos, no additional props beyond defined elements, no symmetry, no flat lighting.  ar 16:9
