Second World Photo Continuation
Keep the upper half photographic and extend a road, branch, reflection, or other source structure into a quiet paper world below. Tiny line figures interact with that same structure.
Create one independent “Second World” poster per upload. Never combine photos.
Format: Vertical 3:4 canvas split into two strictly equal horizontal halves, top 50% and bottom 50%. Upper half stays photographic; lower half becomes the continued Second World. They must read as one scene.
Upper Half: Keep the photo faithful. Preserve subject, pose, spatial relationships, color atmosphere, and natural light. Do not redesign, repaint, replace, or restage it. Only allow necessary proportional cropping.
Continuity: The top-to-bottom connection is the highest priority. Identify one source structure that naturally reaches the center split, such as a road, shoreline, water, reflection, branch, light, architecture, or body movement. This structure must cross the boundary and continue into the lower half. The Second World must begin from the photograph itself, so the same scene passes through the seam and changes physical rules.
Transition Edge: The center may use an irregular torn-paper edge, but the tear must follow the source structure, not act as decoration. Allow source elements to touch, follow, break through, or extend beyond it. Never force the same tear shape onto every image.
Lower Half: Use ivory paper with subtle fibers and abundant negative space. Continue the chosen structure downward from the exact point where it meets the split, then reinterpret it with restrained photo fragments, cut-paper forms, and minimal black hand-drawn lines. The lower world must remain visibly attached. Never isolate it as a separate portal, window, stage, platform, or floating vignette unless clearly derived from the photo.
Second World Logic: Ask: if this structure became touchable, usable, enterable, or changeable, what would it naturally become?Create one image-specific interaction. For example, water may stay attached while being pulled, a road may continue as a drawn path, or light may become something held. Do not mechanically repeat actions.
Figures: Add 0–3 tiny black line figures only when useful. They must physically interact with the continued structure. If the source already contains strong human action, add none. Never use figures as decoration.
Caption: Add one short handwritten English caption based on the action. Keep it natural, light, and slightly witty. No inspirational quote and no fixed “Same...,different...” phrasing.
Style: Real photography above, warm paper below, minimal black line doodle, subtle handmade collage texture, independent-magazine mood, bright, airy, and restrained. The result should feel as if the second world was already hidden inside the photo and simply continued downward.
Negative: No detached lower-half illustration, no generic torn-paper template, no isolated portal, no unrelated vignette, no broken continuity, no dense illustration, no random decoration, no crowd, no altered photo colors, no redesign of the upper image, no glossy 3D, no scrapbook clutter, no gibberish text, no watermark, no logo, no UI.
About this prompt
- What you need
- Upload one photo. Make a separate poster for each upload; do not combine photos.
- How to use
- Choose the line-figure limit, then copy the complete prompt and upload one photo to an image editor.
- Use a vertical 3:4 canvas. Keep the upper half faithful to the photo and connect one source structure through the center into the lower half.
- Keep the figure count within the selected limit. Add figures only when they help the interaction; add none if the photo already has strong human action.
- Check the connection at the center, the preserved photo colors, the restrained paper world, and the short handwritten English caption.
- Example images
- Four complete posters from Su’s X post are shown without cropping. The photo-and-paper layout is part of each result. Separate input photos and exact generation settings were not supplied. The source does not name the model used for these examples. This project has not independently generated or model-verified them.
- What we changed
- The full English prompt is retained, with spacing and paragraph breaks restored for reading. Chinese is a complete translation. The figure selector only narrows the source’s 0–3 range; all scene, continuity, caption, and exclusion rules remain.
- License
- Su shared the prompt and examples; original prompt authorship is not confirmed. No prompt or image license is stated. Rights remain with their holders, and commercial-use permission is unknown.
