## Prompt

```text
{
  "vibe_title_en": "Bark's Resistance",
  "master_prompt": "A hyper-realistic, medium format surreal portrait of {subject}. The subject features incredible practical-effect prosthetic makeup: their skin is cracking open down the neck and torso like dry, rough birch bark, revealing raw, fibrous wood underneath. Autumn leaves are organically intertwined into their hair. The subject stares directly into the camera with an unwavering, fierce 'Warrior's Resolve' and confrontational energy. Shot 'Through the Element': the camera peers through out-of-focus, decaying autumn foliage in the extreme foreground, creating profound depth. The setting is a shattered, overgrown dark botanical greenhouse. Dramatic dual-color lighting: a piercing deep blue ambient moonlight clashes with an intense, striking crimson red rim light that highlights the physical weight and jagged edges of the bark prosthetics. Captured on a Hasselblad H6D-100c, 100mm f/1.8 lens. Analog texture, Cinestill 800T halation, visible skin pores blending flawlessly into wood grain, physical light refraction, profound cinematic tension. NO NEON.",
