How to use this prompt
The classical lighting hides modern details; add "period costume only" if the outfit drifts contemporary. Good for custom fantasy-ruler avatars or themed profile pictures. Lower cfg if the paint texture looks plastic.
Variations to try
- Fantasy monarch — "crown and fur-trimmed robe, golden hour side light"
- Scholar portrait — "subject holding an antique book, candle-lit study background"
