A highly detailed prompt for Google Nano Banana 2, generating an ultra-realistic cinematic portrait of a rugged, middle-aged hooded warrior with icy-blue eyes and a salt-and-pepper beard, featuring dark Arabic calligraphy tattoos and dramatic cold blue lighting, requiring a reference image for facial features.

Prompt

Generate an Ultra-realistic cinematic portrait of a mysterious hooded warrior standing in a dark atmospheric environment, medium close-up framing. A rugged middle-aged man with sharp masculine facial structure, intense glowing icy-blue eyes, and a thick salt-and-pepper beard with highly detailed individual strands. His expression is calm yet intimidating, looking slightly downward with a brooding, enigmatic presence. Keep facial features 100% same as in uploaded image.

He wears a worn, ancient dark hooded cloak made of heavy weathered fabric, deep navy blue and charcoal black tones. The hood casts dramatic shadows across his face while frayed edges and torn fibers of the cloak show extreme micro-detail and texture. The cloak layers wrap around his shoulders like a medieval wanderer or rogue warrior.

On both cheeks are dark Arabic calligraphy tattoos etched into the skin, appearing aged and slightly faded, adding a mysterious cultural and warrior-like identity.

Lighting is cinematic and dramatic: cold blue key light illuminating one side of the face while a subtle warm rim light outlines the hood and beard from behind. Deep shadows create strong contrast across the facial contours.

Environment is dark, smoky and moody with subtle fog particles floating in the air. Background is softly blurred with shallow depth of field, creating strong subject isolation.

Hyper-realistic skin texture with visible pores, scars, beard follicles and subtle wrinkles. High dynamic range lighting and cinematic color grading emphasizing blue and charcoal tones.

Shot on a virtual 85mm portrait lens, f/1.8 aperture, ultra shallow depth of field, razor sharp focus on the eyes, film-quality lighting, volumetric atmosphere, epic fantasy aesthetic, 8K ultra-detailed render, photorealistic, Unreal Engine cinematic rendering, HDR, masterpiece quality.
