Build a single-character narrative illustration around a shattered giant pocket watch. Reflections in the glass fragments show different moments from the character's life.

English translation of the public case notes.

Image-to-image narrative illustration combining a character reference, a broken giant pocket watch and several reflected memories. Supply the character image plus variables for the world setting and each memory's age and situation. Show the whole character in side view, falling beside the shattered watch while glass fragments reflect moments from their life. Establish action, viewpoint and subject size first; describe the breaking watch and falling gears next; list memories last. About three memories are suggested to avoid overcrowded fragments. Avoid too many separate memories, a character swallowed by the elaborate background, confused depth between watch and shards, or lost reference appearance. Practical controls: • Set the character at approximately 40% of frame height, leaving space for the watch and reflections. • Describe each memory with an age and a specific event. • Keep the world setting as a separate variable so the structure can be reused for steampunk, dark fantasy and other settings.

🔍 细节怎么控｜坠落怀表里的记忆碎片 本期是文生图 / 图像编辑。 别只看效果，核心在于：这个案例把角色参考、巨型破碎怀表和多段记忆场景组织在同一构图中，适合学习复杂叙事画面的提示词拆解。重点在于控制侧面全身、主体占比、碎片反射与记忆数量，避免信息过载导致细节崩坏。 写法拆解： 类型：图生图 输入：一张角色参考图，以及要替换的[世界观]、每段记忆的[年龄]和[情景] 目标：生成角色侧身坠落于破碎巨型怀表旁，玻璃碎片中映出多段人生记忆的单人叙事插画 关键词：侧面全身 / 巨型怀表 / 破碎玻璃 / 记忆碎片 / 极繁背景 / 下坠构图 / 角色参考一致 重点：先锁定主体动作、视角和占比，再描述怀表破裂与齿轮下坠，最后逐条写记忆内容；记忆数量建议控制在三段左右，以免碎片画面拥挤。 约束：避免加入过多记忆场景、让角色被背景吞没、怀表与碎片层级混乱，或忽略参考图中的角色外貌特征。 💡 照着做时记住三点 • 用“角色约占画面高度40%”限制主体比例，给怀表和碎片叙事留空间 • 将每段记忆写成年龄加具体情景，方便模型把碎片反射内容区分开 • 把世界观单独作为变量，便于在蒸汽朋克、黑暗奇幻等背景之间复用模板 #GPTImage2 #OpenAI #AI绘画 #记忆叙事 #破碎怀表 #变量模板
