  "master_prompt": "A hyper-realistic overhead flatlay portrait of The Protagonist lying perfectly still on a dense, suffocating bed of overlapping dark foliage and crushed flora. SURREALISM: A massive, chaotic swarm of physical, velvety black and deep emerald-green butterflies appears to erupt entirely from the subject's hair, layering heavily across the flat background to create an overwhelmingly busy environment of organic texture. The subject has an unwavering, fierce upward stare directly into the camera lens, projecting a warrior's resolve. Dramatic dual-color cinematic lighting: a deep, moody emerald green fill light crashing into a sharp, confrontational crimson red key light that slices across the cheekbones, highlighting authentic skin pores and micro-textures. Shot from a strict 90-degree high-angle overhead perspective, completely eliminating 3D depth and treating the subject and the insect swarm as flat, graphic, color-blocked elements. Shot on Hasselblad H6D-100c, 80mm prime lens at f/4.0 to capture the powdery dust on the butterfly wings. Kodak Ektar 100 film stock, rich tactile shadows, cinematic grain, masterpiece, absolutely no neon.",
