Objective: To create a cinematic portrait poster of a mythological figure, with the main character being {argument name="character name" default="Helen of Troy"} The style resembles an elegant historical fantasy book cover. Canvas: Vertical 4:5. Portrait poster, warm gold tones, shallow depth of field, soft temple or palace background, dramatic sidelighting, luxurious classical atmosphere. Subject: A noble ancient Greek woman, half-length, body slightly turned to the left of the viewer. Her face is deliberately obscured by a centrally located opaque square occluder, the occluder being a neutral warm brown skin tone, covering the eyes, nose, and mouth. She has long, wavy hair.{argument name="hair color" default="Golden yellow"} Her hair is styled in an elaborate updo, adorned with a delicate gold laurel wreath and intricate gold dangling earrings. She wears a white Greco-Roman pleated robe with opulent gold embroidery, beaded trim, metallic floral appliqués, and a visible decorative shoulder strap. Layout and Typography: Create a sophisticated, editorial poster composition with text layered around the portrait. Use six visible text elements: 1) Top-left capitalized serif heading:{argument name="headline text" default="THE FACE THAT LAUNCHED A THOUSAND SHIPS"} ;2) The small italicized quote below:{argument name="upper quote" default="Her beauty was not just admired — it was destiny."} 3) Large cream-gold brush-style title spanning the lower left and center: “Helen of Troy”; 4) Large Chinese calligraphy-style title below: “Helen of Troy”; 5) Small serif caption in the lower left corner: “HELEN OF TROY”, with a smaller subtitle: “The Face That Launched a Thousand Ships”; 6) Italicized quote in the lower left corner:{argument name="bottom quote" default="I was not the cause of war, but the mirror of men’s desire."} Add a small decorative gold separator below each quote. Visual style: A fusion of hyperrealistic painting and photography, romantic historical fantasy, warm-toned contour lighting on hair and shoulders, bright gold highlights, soft shadows, creamy blurring, delicate film grain, high-detail jewelry and embroidery, and elegant cream and gold typography. Constraints: Keep the square obscuring the face clearly visible and flat with sharp edges; do not show facial features through the obscuring block. Ensure all six text elements are clearly legible and positioned where described. Avoid modern objects, logos, watermarks, or additional characters.
