Please base your opinion on [Subject:]{argument name="character name" default="Enter the character name"} Create a highly polished, narratively compelling "Shadow Ensemble Cover" suitable for a series release. This is more than just a simple character illustration or battle poster; it's a "group action cover" with the feel of a novel cover, comic book visuals, game promotional material, and dark fantasy illustration. The image needs to consist of a large, central figure, multiple mid-ground action characters, threatening background elements, localized energy effects, and a white space for the title, forming a complete cover showcasing the character factions and world-building. [Basic Settings] Theme:{argument name="scene theme" default="Spell Battle / Dark Journey to the West / Cyber Hunter / Monster Hunting Team / Post-Apocalyptic Survivors / Magic Academy Battle Group"} Title: [Title of Work] Series Name/Brand Name: [Brand Name or Series Name] Subtitle: [Subtitle] Style Guidance:{argument name="style" default="Dark fantasy, retro comic book covers, hand-painted thick paint, fantasy novel covers, game visuals"} Main color scheme: Dark green-black-gray / Dark blue neon / Dark brown-gold-red / Sand yellow-rust / Dark purple-gold. Accent colors: Blood red energy, cyan spell light, golden divine light, blue lightning. Aspect ratio: 2:3 vertical / 3:4 vertical / 4:5 vertical / 9:16 vertical. [Structure] A vertical cover composition is used. A large visual figure must serve as the central figure and dominant element of the atmosphere. This figure can be in profile, half-body, back view, a frontal gaze, or a large silhouette, occupying the right side, top, or main background area. The expression should be calm, mysterious, and imposing. The figure may not necessarily participate in combat, but must command the overall atmosphere of the image. Arrange 3 to 6 action characters in the mid-ground, forming a group portrait of a combat formation. There should be clear division of labor and differences in posture between characters, such as charging, wielding a sword, casting spells, defending, summoning, jumping, being alert, and ranged attacking. Avoid static characters; strong rhythmic movement and visual dynamism must be created. Add enemy threats or world-building elements to the background, such as monsters, giants, villainous shadows, mechanical legions, demons, ruins, forests, alternate dimensions, battlefield smoke, or urban disasters. Background threats should not overshadow the characters but rather envelop them like shadows to enhance the sense of crisis and narrative depth. Set one or two high-saturation energy hotspots, such as red fire fists, blue lightning, green spells, purple magic, golden divine light, or white sword energy. Energy effects should be concentrated on key characters or weapons to create visual focal points, rather than illuminating the entire screen uniformly. [Composition] The overall structure is "large central character + mid-ground action group + background threat shadow + bottom or side blank title area." The image can utilize diagonal organization of characters, allowing the group to charge from the upper left to the lower right or from the bottom to the center, creating a strong sense of forward momentum. Maintain a clear blank title area, preferably located in the lower left, bottom, or side. Use off-white, light paper color, or low-saturation background colors for the blank areas to display [brand name/work title/subtitle]. The title layout should have the feel of a publication cover, using elegant serif fonts, retro title letters, comic book cover titles, or a high-end magazine style layout. The text area must be clear and not completely obscured by characters and backgrounds. Avoid perfectly rectangular edges; use irregular brushstroke edges, ink diffusion, torn paper styles, or natural dissipation to make characters and backgrounds appear to grow out of the paper, enhancing the hand-drawn cover feel and artistic quality. [Visual Style] The overall style should combine hand-drawn thick painting with comic book covers, possessing paper texture, brushstroke feel, shadow depth, and a retro publication feel. Lighting should primarily use low-key dark lighting, with a dark background, clear character outlines, and high-contrast focus provided by localized energetic light. The image should not be too clean; it should retain the hand-drawn texture, paper grain, edge brushstrokes, and dark haze. Primarily use low-saturation dark tones, supplemented with a small amount of high-saturation energetic colors. The overall atmosphere should have a sense of oppression, mystery, combat, and world-building depth. [Visual Objectives] The final image should look like a mature fantasy novel cover, a comic book special edition cover, a game character faction visual, or an IP promotional poster. It needs to possess the following: 1. A clear main visual character; 2. A dynamic and rhythmic group portrait; 3. A clear enemy threat or world-building background; 4. Strong yet restrained energy effects; 5. A legible title text area; 6. The overall texture of a retro hand-drawn cover. Ensure the visuals are rich in information yet not cluttered, with distinct character layers, a clear visual focus, and suitability for continuously generating works within the same series on different themes.
