  "master_prompt": "A hyper-realistic, macro-detail portrait of The Protagonist in a high-concept couture setting. The subject is adorned in an intricate, skeletal exoskeleton collar and headpiece crafted from spun copper wire and translucent, iridescent bio-mesh lace. This avant-garde structure mimics the anatomy of dried butterfly wings and clockwork flora, appearing to float magnetically just millimetres above the skin. The lighting is cinematic and volumetric; a warm, golden backlight catches the copper filaments, creating lens flares and a halo effect, while a soft, diffuse skylight illuminates the face to reveal hyper-real skin texture, pores, and vellus hair. Shot on a Hasselblad H6D-100c with a 120mm Macro lens at f/2.8 to create a razor-thin depth of field. The background is a buttery, dissolved gradient of slate grey and cool blue. The aesthetic is 'Practical Effect Surrealism'—no CGI, but rather a masterpiece of physical costume design and optical precision.",
