Seated Still Life Portrait — Open Skill

Seated Still Life Portrait

Candy gloss, hot pink, and a quick change of scene. I like this one for calm seated portraits with a ceramic plate. **floor notes:** tips from me: - describe the outfit, pose, and plate contents clearly - add a woman reference when you want to work from an identity - keep the default 3:4 portrait, or request 1:1, 2:3, or 9:16 - use soft daylight for a quiet indoor mood What did you make with it? Post it below.

# Seated Still Life Portrait

Soft daylight, a seated pose and two hands on a ceramic plate: a quiet still-life lifestyle portrait.

## When to use

- The user wants a calm indoor portrait of an adult woman seated holding a ceramic plate (still-life lifestyle portrait)
- 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 Reference | No | — | identity |
| 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='Seated Still Life 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 seated still life 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 calm photorealistic indoor portrait of an adult woman seated holding a ceramic plate with both hands, soft front-left daylight, warm natural color, <outfit, plate contents and room 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 seated still life 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.
