The prompt
A hyper-realistic cinematic movie poster of a powerful sorcerer with the same facial structure and likeness as the uploaded reference photo, bursting through a cracked ${specificcard} playing card. The card explodes outward with stone fragments, dust, and debris frozen mid-air. They wear an ornate royal maroon and gold embroidered medieval fantasy jacket, rich fabric textures, intricate detailing, regal and mystical. The sorcerer extends one hand forward toward the viewer, fingers glowing with intense magical energy, subtle golden sparks and dark arcane aura surrounding the hand. Intense piercing gaze, confident and dominant expression, cinematic hero framing. Dramatic chiaroscuro lighting, dark moody background, volumetric light rays, ultra-detailed textures, shallow cinematic depth of field. Photorealistic face, epic fantasy realism, movie poster composition, high contrast, dynamic motion, dust particles, masterpiece quality, ultra-sharp focus, 8K resolution, cinematic color grading.
