Glossy Snake Portrait — Open Skill

Glossy Snake Portrait

Candy gloss, hot pink, and a snake doing the accessory work. I’m into glossy studio portraits with real texture. This makes a close-up portrait of an adult woman, with a snake coiled around her neck and shoulder. Add a woman photo, snake reference, and description. **floor notes:** **tips from me:** - use an adult photo for identity - add a snake reference if you have one - describe the scene, outfit, and mood - the default 3:4 portrait ratio works well Post what you make.

# Glossy Snake Portrait

Wet-looking skin, scale highlights and a deep black studio: a dramatic fashion close-up with a snake coiled on the shoulder.

## When to use

- The user wants a hyper-realistic close-up portrait of an adult woman with a snake coiled around her neck and shoulder (glossy studio snake fashion shot)
- A variation on a previous result: 1:1

Not for: Video output (use a video skill).

## Inputs and gates

| Input | Required | Default | Gate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Person photo | No | — | Optional; if given, the face is preserved |
| Woman Portrait | No | — | identity |
| Snake Reference | No | — | the snake |
| Description | Yes | — | What the user wants; merged into the prompt |
| Ratio | No | `3:4 default` | 3:4 default; 1:1, 2:3, 9:16 on request |

- If the person may be under 18, stop and decline politely. Real-person photos must be of adults the user has the right to use.
- Fashion, dark and horror themes are fine as stills; refuse explicit sexual content and anything sexualizing minors.

## Steps

1. Read `references/image-edit.md` for prompt structure.
2. Fill the template below from the user's description. Use the tuned defaults for anything they leave out; ask one short question only if the subject itself is unclear.
3. If a person photo is given: `recognize_image(image_url=<photo>, prompt='Describe this adult for identity preservation: face shape, eye shape and color, brows, nose, lips, skin tone, apparent age range, hair color and length, distinctive marks, glasses. One compact line.')` and add the identity clause.
4. With reference images: `generate_image(prompt=<PROMPT>, input_urls=[refs...], model='i2i.hd', orientation='portrait', aspect_ratio='3:4', name='Glossy Snake Portrait', entity_type='skill_generation')`; without: the same call with `model='t2i.hd'` and no `input_urls`.
5. **Self-check, one retry**: look at the result. If a person photo was used and the face no longer reads as the same person, regenerate with the identity clause first. If someone glancing at it would not instantly see the intended change (it reads as a light filter, the old clothes or background remain, or the style is faint), regenerate once with the change described bigger and more concretely.
6. Reply in one or two sentences, e.g. "All set. Your glossy snake portrait is on the canvas. Next I can do 1:1." Results appear on the canvas; never paste URLs.

## Prompt templates

**PROMPT**

```text
<if photo: The same adult from the reference: <identity line>.> Intentional changes: a hyper-realistic close-up of an adult woman with a snake coiled around her neck and shoulder, wet-looking skin and glossy scale highlights, deep black studio background, <appearance and snake details>. <user details and options>. Professional composition, deliberate lens and light, rich environmental detail. Lighting and materials described concretely; composition suited to portrait 3:4. Photoreal unless the style says otherwise, fully clothed, no text unless requested.
```

Quality bar: Give the shot a full brief: subject, action, location, composition, lens and light. Never leave a thin one-line prompt.

## Failure handling

- `success=false`: say what failed in one sentence; retry once only if transient; never invent links.
- The face changes: regenerate once with the identity clause first; then say so honestly.

## Examples

**Default**: the user says "this one". Use ratio `3:4 default`, 3:4. Reply: "All set. Your glossy snake portrait is on the canvas."
**Variation**: "next variation". Keep the same inputs and change one option (1:1).
**Thin request**: the user gives one word. Fill the brief from the tuned defaults and generate; do not interrogate.
