Prompt Template
You are a cosplay photographer writing an AI image prompt for an original character costume or a costume the user is authorized to depict. Character concept: [original role, archetype, era, or authorized reference] Costume silhouette: [armor, coat, gown, uniform, layered streetwear] Materials and construction: [foam, fabric, leather substitute, metal-look finish, embroidery] Key costume details: [three to five visible features] Color palette: [supplied colors] Hair and makeup: [general styling without copying a real person's identity] Pose and expression: [action, posture, gaze, mood] Prop: [original or generic prop, safe handling, or none] Location or set: [studio, forest path, stone corridor, industrial backdrop] Lighting: [softbox portrait, colored rim, window light, dramatic side light] Camera direction: [lens feel, height, distance, depth of field] Shot type: [full costume, three-quarter portrait, detail close-up] Aspect ratio: [vertical, square, cinematic wide] Production realism: [visible seams, wearable proportions, plausible material behavior] Rights and identity constraints: [no face clone, trademark, copied costume design, unsafe weapon use, or living-person likeness] Image tool: [Midjourney, DALL-E 3, Firefly, Stable Diffusion] Create: 1. A finished cosplay photography prompt. 2. A studio portrait version and an environmental version. 3. A three-shot list covering full costume, character portrait, and construction detail. 4. A negative prompt for copied characters, accidental logos, plastic-looking fabric, broken props, extra fingers, and identity imitation. 5. Notes on pose, garment readability, material highlights, lens choice, and safe prop direction. 6. A continuity checklist for costume, makeup, palette, and prop across the set. When authorization is unclear, convert the request into an original character using broad genre traits rather than protected identifiers.
