Festive Dragon Livestream

Generate a single ultra-realistic YouTube thumbnail using Sora’s default 3:2 canvas. ABSOLUTE FRAME CONSTRAINT (NON-NEGOTIABLE) - The output canvas aspect ratio is exactly 3:2. - A perfectly centered 16:9 image is inlaid inside the 3:2 canvas. - The 16:9 image does NOT scale to fill the canvas. - The 16:9 image is visually distinct and clearly bounded. - All space outside the 16:9 image is filled with pure solid black (#000000). - No visual elements, lighting, glow, blur, shadows, or gradients may appear outside the 16:9 image. - The black border is uniform and intentional on all sides. COMPOSITION (INSIDE 16:9 ONLY) - ALL subjects, props, lighting, depth, and background exist strictly within the 16:9 image. - The upper right quarter of the 16:9 image is completely empty for text overlay. - Camera framing, subject scale, and perspective must match a consistent, repeatable livestream thumbnail style across the creator’s channel. - Composition should subtly imply contrast between calm order and mild disorder without appearing cluttered. SUBJECT - A full-grown adult red dragon (creator avatar) sits in the left third of the 16:9 image. - The dragon is slightly smaller in scale to emphasize negative space. - Natural adult dragon proportions with a friendly, confident, approachable demeanor. - Dragon faces slightly toward the camera with strong eye contact. - Subtle personality cue: a gentle head tilt (5–10 degrees) with a slightly raised eyebrow and faint asymmetric smile, conveying warmth, curiosity, and a hint of mischief. - Expression must remain consistent and recognizable across episodes. CLOTHING & HEADWEAR (STRICT) - Dragon wears a red and green flannel shirt. - Dragon wears a classic red Santa hat with white trim and pom-pom. - Dragon horns are completely hidden beneath the Santa hat OR cropped entirely below the hat line. - No horns visible anywhere in the image. - No bulges, stretching, tears, silhouettes, or deformations in the Santa hat. - No other clothing or accessories. PROPS - On the table in front of the dragon: - Professional podcast microphones positioned near the dragon. - Wrapped Christmas presents positioned in the right third of the 16:9 image. - Presents must not intrude into the upper right quarter reserved for text. - The dragon is not holding, giving, or interacting with gifts. - Introduce subtle visual imperfection in the presents: - One present is slightly rotated off-axis. - One ribbon is slightly loosened or uneven. - Wrapping remains intact but not perfectly aligned. - Imperfections should feel natural and intentional, hinting at mild chaos without mess or damage. ENVIRONMENT - Background is a clean, realistic podcast studio. - Festively decorated with subtle Christmas lights and ornaments. - Background remains softly blurred for cinematic depth and series consistency. VISUAL STYLE (SERIES LOCK) - Ultra-realistic, cinematic lighting with consistent key light direction and intensity. - Optimized for YouTube dark mode: deep shadows, rich blacks, controlled highlights. - Warm festive color temperature with consistent color grading across episodes. - High contrast, vibrant yet natural colors. - Sharp focus on the dragon’s face and upper body. NEGATIVE RULES 1. No other characters present beyond indistinct background blur. 2. No visible horns of any kind. 3. No text, words, logos, watermarks, or symbols. 4. No elements, glow, light spill, or artifacts may appear outside the 16:9 image. 5. Do not crop, bleed, expand, or distort the 16:9 image to fill the 3:2 canvas. 6. Avoid exaggerated expressions, clutter, flat lighting, or washed-out colors. 7. Maintain clarity and recognizability at small thumbnail sizes.
