3D Paper-Craft Portrait

• Model : Google Gemini 3 Pro aka Google Nano Banana Pro
• Prompt : { "model": "nano_banana", "aspect": "1:1", "prompt": "A highly detailed 3D papercraft portrait of the person in the provided reference photo, preserving the exact facial features and identity. Do not describe or alter gender, age, hairstyle, facial hair, or eyeglasses; keep them exactly as in the reference. Composition: face and shoulders only, centered, close-up portrait. Medium/style: entirely folded and layered paper with visible paper edges and subtle paper texture; sharp geometric creases with a low-poly aesthetic, but use small, fine, dense folds so the portrait looks natural and less blocky. Expression: gentle natural smile consistent with the reference. Lighting: soft studio lighting with realistic shadows, ambient occlusion, and depth. Color: neutral, realistic skin tones and natural tones sampled from the reference, not overly saturated. Background: clean minimal abstract backdrop that artistically blends an abstract representation of India and USA flags using recognizable flag colors only (no text, no literal flag rendering), kept subtle so the subject remains dominant. Ultra-sharp details, high resolution."}

Expressive Portrait Design

• Model : Google Gemini 3 Pro aka Google Nano Banana Pro
• Prompt : { "prompt": "Square-format vibrant expressive portrait of the same man from the attached reference photo, matching his exact gender, age, and facial features with his full face clearly visible. He is slightly smiling and looking straight forward into the camera. He wears oversized bright orange-red glasses with glass-light coloured full-shade lenses.\n\nLayered composition:\n1) Background layer: a textured, aged 1990s Telugu newspaper page styled like Eenadu (ఈనాడు) from the 1990s, with vintage print texture, slightly yellowed paper, dense columns, and authentic Telugu typesetting feel. Include a prominent headline in Telugu that reads “రేపటి కోసం” (Repati Kosam), printed as if it is part of the newspaper.\n2) Middle layer – abstract flag brush strokes: on top of the newspaper, broad, expressive abstract brush strokes that clearly suggest both the Indian flag and the USA flag, without becoming photorealistic flags. For the Indian flag: wide strokes of saffron/orange, white, and deep green, loosely arranged to hint at horizontal banding but remaining painterly and abstract. For the USA flag: bold abstract strokes of deep blue, bright white, and rich red, with a suggestion of a blue field and red-white striping implied by brush direction and grouping. These strokes feel like layered abstract painting directly on the newspaper, partially overlapping but not fully covering the text, clearly readable as Indian and USA flag motifs in an abstract modern-art style.\n3) Top layer: the man’s portrait rendered in dynamic black sketch strokes, blending realism and abstract expressionism, centered and dominant in the frame.\n\nOverall mood: expressive, hopeful, and creative. The vintage Telugu newspaper texture remains visible beneath the abstract flag brushwork. High-contrast ink linework. Clean square framing with the face as the primary focal point.", "aspect": "1:1" }
