Reference Character Painting Self-Portrait in Oil Style

A complex, multi-section prompt for Nano Banana Pro that instructs the AI to use a reference image to lock the character's identity (face, clothing, colors) and then generate a scene where this character is painting their own self-portrait

Prompt text

Original English text. Replace placeholders with your own details.

【Input Image】
Image 1: Reference Character (Do not change the appearance of this character under any circumstances)

【Top Priority Rule: Identity Lock】
- Match 100% of the reference image character's "face," "hairstyle," "hair color," "eye shape/color," "skin color," "body proportion," "clothing," "accessories," "patterns," and "color scheme."
- Maintain the expression exactly as in Image 1 (even if a change is necessary, make it "very slight").
- Do not arbitrarily add new small items, clothes, or decorations. Prohibit modifications such as lengthening/shortening hair. Do not change age, gender, physique, or sense of race.
- Changes are only allowed for "pose," "background (location)," "lighting," "camera angle," and "art supplies (brushes/palettes/easels, etc.)."

【Scene to Generate】
Character from Image 1 standing in a painting studio in front of an easel, painting a "self-portrait" in oil.
- Brush in the right hand, palette in the other hand.
- On the desk: tubes of oil paint, solvent oil, brush washing jar, cloth, dirty palette, and a few scattered paint marks on the floor.
- The canvas has an "unfinished self-portrait" that is instantly recognizable as the "same character" as Image 1 (same face, same hair, same clothes, same color scheme). A slightly rough brushstroke is acceptable since it is unfinished.

【Art Style (Overall Expression)】
- Depict the entire work as a classic oil painting. Show the canvas texture, impasto brushstrokes, buildup of paint, and depth of glazing.
- However, the character design (lines/shape/color/features) must absolutely not deviate from Image 1. The oil texture should be applied as an "overlay."

【Composition/Camera】
- 3/4 angle medium wide shot (upper body to knees). Character + easel + canvas visible simultaneously.
- Warm afternoon oblique light enters from the window, hitting the face and canvas. The background is slightly dark to make the subject stand out.

【Output Specification】
- 1 image. Vertical 2:3 aspect ratio.
- Do not include text in the image.
