Here’s the exact prompt to use in Midjourney, DALL-E 3, or Stable Diffusion:
Prompt
hyper-realistic portrait of a stunning Black woman with luminous porcelain skin, reclining on red velvet chaise, masterful fusion of four simultaneous styles: 1. CGI scan with subsurface scattering 2. Rembrandt oil painting with impasto brushstrokes 3. charcoal drawing with smudged shadows 4. cinematic studio photograph, luxury bandana, ornate jewelry, cosmic void background with cracked earth mural, tactile contradictory coherence, chiaroscuro lighting --ar 4:5 --style raw
Pro Tip: Add --stylize 750 in Midjourney for maximum artistic effect.
The Style Breakdown
Style Name: Quantum Realism / Fusionism
Key Characteristics:
- Four artistic realities in one image
- Digital precision meets analog texture
- Perceptual ambiguity as a feature
Visual Elements:
- Skin: Porcelain-like but with visible pores and subsurface scattering
- Eyes: Photographically sharp with painted texture
- Hair: CGI-sleek with charcoal-smudged roots
- Textures: Impasto brushstrokes, paper grain, velvet deformation
Lighting Formula
- Type: Single-source chiaroscuro
- Effect: Creates dramatic shadows (charcoal-like) and bright highlights (studio-like)
- Mood: Dramatic, theatrical, intimate
- Keywords to add: dramatic lighting, studio key light, light haze, Rembrandt lighting
Background Strategy
- Primary: Cosmic void/digital starfield
- Secondary: Cracked earth mural texture
- Tertiary: Studio blackout fade
- Why it works: Creates depth while keeping focus on subject

[Take best image] + “increase impasto texture on skin” + “enhance charcoal smudging in hair” + “sharpen cinematic eyes”
Step 3: Upscaling
Use built-in upscalers or external tools like Topaz Gigapixel for maximum detail.
Step 4: Post-Processing (Optional)
- Add slight paper texture overlay
- Enhance contrast for chiaroscuro effect
- Color grade with warm umbers and cool blacks
Why This Prompt Works
-
Specificity Without Restriction: Names four distinct styles but lets AI interpret fusion
-
Contradictory Logic: Forces AI to solve the “impossible” visual problem
-
Art Historical References: Uses known styles (Rembrandt) as anchor points
-
Sensory Language: “Tactile,” “dewy,” “smudged” — creates physicality
Adaptation Tips
For Different Subjects:
- Change “Black woman” to any description
- Maintain the style fusion structure
For Different Platforms:
- Instagram: Crop to 4:5, boost saturation slightly
- Print: Upscale to 300 DPI, subtle sharpening
- NFT: Include process shots showing style evolution
For Different Moods:
- Change “dramatic” to “soft” for ethereal feel
- Swap “cosmic void” for “renaissance interior”
- Adjust color palette in post-processing
The Result You’ll Get
A portrait that genuinely makes viewers ask:
- “Is this a painting?”
- “Is this a photo?”
- “Is this digital art?”
- “Wait… how is this possible?”
That moment of perceptual confusion is your success metric. You’ve created something that exists between categories — the essence of innovative AI art.

Create a Series:
- Same subject, different poses
- Same style, different subjects
- Same composition, different color palettes
Document Your Process:
The journey from prompt to final image is a story worth telling. Share your iterations, failures, and breakthroughs.
Final Thought:
This prompt isn’t just about creating one image. It’s about discovering a new visual language where historical techniques and future technologies converge. Each generation reveals new possibilities in the space between styles.
Start creating. Defy categories. Make something that shouldn’t be possible — then make it real.
