GOTHIC
DEVOTION.

Use the two supplied character sheets as the absolute authority for the identities, designs, proportions, clothing language, and recognizable features of both characters.

The user will provide exactly two character sheets:

* Character Sheet A = Character A
* Character Sheet B = Character B

Do not require any additional pose reference, style reference, or written character description. Infer all character-specific details directly from the supplied sheets.

CHARACTER FIDELITY — HIGHEST PRIORITY

Recreate both supplied characters faithfully and keep them immediately recognizable.

Preserve every identity-defining feature visible on each sheet, including:

* clearly adult age
* species
* gender presentation
* facial structure
* eye shape and eye color
* skin tone
* hairstyle, bangs, undercuts, braids, ponytails, hair length, texture, and exact color
* body type, musculature, curves, height impression, and proportions
* scars, freckles, tattoos, markings, birthmarks, or body art
* horns, ears, tails, wings, claws, fangs, or other nonhuman anatomy
* prosthetics, cybernetics, masks, visors, or unusual anatomy
* piercings, earrings, necklaces, rings, hair ornaments, and signature accessories
* established clothing motifs, symbols, patterns, colors, materials, and overall aesthetic
* established personality and visual presence

Do not substitute either character with a generic anime character, bishounen, waifu, model, vampire, goth character, or other archetype.

Do not beautify, feminize, masculinize, age-down, age-up, slim down, bulk up, or otherwise redesign either character unless their supplied sheet already depicts those traits.

Clothing should remain appropriate to each character’s established presentation.

COMPOSITION — MATCH THIS VISUAL DYNAMIC

Create a dramatic close-up composition built around a strong diagonal running from the upper-left to the lower-right.

Character A occupies the upper-left half of the image.

Character A is positioned physically above Character B, leaning slightly downward and inward toward them. Their face should dominate the upper-left portion of the frame.

Character B occupies the lower-right half of the image.

Character B is positioned lower in the composition, tilting their head upward toward Character A. Their face should dominate the lower-right portion of the frame.

The two faces should be close enough to create emotional intensity, but maintain a small respectful gap between them.

Their eyes must be clearly locked onto one another.

The overall silhouette should create a strong visual flow:

Character A → leash → collar → Character B

Avoid a flat side-by-side composition.

Avoid placing both heads at the same height.

Avoid full-body framing. This should primarily be a cinematic upper-body / close portrait composition.

CHARACTER A — EXPRESSION AND BODY LANGUAGE

Character A should radiate calm confidence and affectionate charm.

Their expression should be:

* confident
* warm
* charming
* composed
* gently teasing
* emotionally assured
* affectionate

Use a subtle smile, softened gaze, or similarly restrained expression appropriate to Character A’s established personality.

Character A should look deeply attentive to Character B.

Character A is holding Character B’s leash in one hand.

The hand holding the leash should be clearly visible.

Character A is giving the leash a light, deliberate pull, guiding Character B a little closer.

The gesture should read as affectionate, symbolic, and consensual rather than forceful or controlling.

CHARACTER B — EXPRESSION AND BODY LANGUAGE

Character B should look completely captivated by Character A.

Their expression should communicate:

* affection
* adoration
* admiration
* yearning
* lovestruck joy
* emotional devotion
* tenderness

Character B’s head is tilted backward and upward toward Character A.

Their lips may be slightly parted in quiet awe or a soft smile.

Their posture should naturally follow the gentle pull of the leash.

Character B should have clearly visible stylized heart shapes or glowing heart-shaped highlights inside their eyes, while still retaining their original canonical eye color and recognizable eye design from the supplied character sheet.

The heart effect should read as whimsical visual shorthand for being deeply in love, not intoxicated, distressed, or out of control.

Optional small floating heart particles may appear near Character B, but keep them subtle and elegant.

COLLAR AND LEASH

Character B wears a visible fitted collar around their neck.

Treat the collar as a stylized fashion or relationship accessory rather than a restraint device.

Attach a leash securely to a visible ring or fitting on the collar.

The leash runs diagonally upward from Character B’s collar toward Character A’s hand.

Keep the leash anatomy physically coherent.

The leash may be lightly taut, enough to show the connection between the characters without implying force.

Do not accidentally:

* attach the leash to clothing instead of the collar
* create multiple leashes
* create duplicate collars
* fuse the leash into either character’s body
* wrap the leash impossibly around limbs
* place the leash behind both characters where it cannot be understood

The leash is an important compositional line and should remain visually readable.

EMOTIONAL FOCUS

The central moment is the instant Character A gently draws Character B closer and their eyes meet.

The image should feel intimate, tender, and emotionally charged.

Character A’s calm confidence should contrast beautifully with Character B’s open-hearted devotion.

Their faces, eyes, leash connection, and the small space between them are the visual priorities.

Do not depict:

* explicit sexual behavior
* erotic posing
* nudity
* exposed intimate areas
* coercion
* fear
* pain
* humiliation
* aggression

The mood is romantic devotion, affectionate tension, tenderness, trust, and mutual attraction.

ART STYLE

Render the image as hyper-detailed semi-realistic anime artwork.

The finished rendering should combine:

* realistic adult facial anatomy
* sophisticated anime character design
* precise expressive eyes
* highly detailed individual hair strands
* realistic skin planes and subtle texture
* sharply rendered jewelry and accessories
* intricate fabric folds
* believable leather, cloth, metal, hair, and skin materials
* clean, confident linework where appropriate
* painterly micro-detail
* premium key-visual / AAA anime illustration quality

Avoid overly simplified cartoon anatomy.

Avoid chibi proportions.

Avoid generic oversized anime eyes unless already present on the character sheet.

Preserve each character’s actual facial proportions.

CELL SHADING

Use sophisticated cinematic cell shading layered with subtle semi-realistic rendering.

Include:

* crisp intentional shadow boundaries
* strong facial plane shading
* controlled two- and three-tone cel shadows
* deep occlusion shadows
* sharply defined rim lighting
* fine painterly transitions only where needed
* glossy material highlights
* detailed specular reflections on eyes, hair, jewelry, leather, and metal

Do not make the image look flat.

The cell shading should feel premium and dramatic rather than simplistic.

LIGHTING

Use extremely dark, dramatic cinematic lighting.

The environment should be mostly swallowed by deep shadow.

Primary palette:

* black
* charcoal
* deep burgundy
* crimson
* dark violet
* muted magenta
* occasional warm pink highlights

Use intense crimson or magenta rim lighting behind and around the characters to separate their silhouettes from the darkness.

Use restrained warm illumination across portions of their faces so their expressions remain readable.

Character A’s eyes may catch a small sharp highlight.

Character B’s heart-filled eyes should glow subtly enough to become an immediate focal point.

Create strong contrast between illuminated skin and nearly black surrounding shadows.

Include controlled bloom, reflected colored light, volumetric haze, and small points of atmospheric glow.

BACKGROUND

Use a dark, luxurious, atmospheric background rather than a detailed literal location.

Possible visual elements may include:

* soft crimson bokeh
* distant ornate lights
* blurred gothic architecture
* deep red roses
* drifting petals
* subtle floating particles
* faint chandelier-like highlights
* shadowed decorative forms
* dark velvet-like textures

Keep all background elements significantly softer and darker than the characters.

Do not allow background clutter to interfere with either face or the leash silhouette.

CAMERA AND FRAMING

Use an intimate cinematic portrait lens feel, approximately equivalent to 50–85mm.

Camera should feel physically close to both characters.

Use shallow depth of field.

Keep both faces sufficiently sharp to preserve identity.

Allow distant background elements to blur strongly.

Use a slight Dutch angle or diagonal camera orientation only if it reinforces the upper-left / lower-right composition.

Avoid extreme lens distortion.

FINAL QUALITY TARGET

The finished image should resemble an expensive promotional illustration or premium anime key visual:

hyper-detailed, semi-realistic anime, dark romantic gothic atmosphere, dramatic cell shading, cinematic crimson lighting, powerful diagonal composition, intense affectionate eye contact, polished anatomy, faithful character designs, high material detail, and emotionally rich storytelling.

The image must unmistakably depict the exact two adult characters from the supplied character sheets, simply placed into this pose, relationship dynamic, lighting setup, and rendering style.

Do not redesign either character to resemble the example composition.

Adapt the composition to the characters — never adapt the characters to the composition.
