FAKE LEGEND / Ep1-cover

The recipe

Prompt

Model: GPT-5.4 Image. Create ONE full-color title page (chapter cover) for a Japanese shonen battle manga. Style: Japanese shonen manga in full color; bold, confident black ink linework with varied line weight; vivid cel-shaded coloring with soft gradients; epic, bright, adventurous mood; cinematic lighting. Format: single portrait page, 2:3 (1024x1536), one full-bleed illustration with no panels. Page zones (strict): TOP 22% = title logo area, BOTTOM 13% = episode-name banner, MIDDLE 65% = the illustration. The character, effects, and busy details must stay inside the middle zone and must never overlap or cover the text. Character: YAMATO, a 15-year-old boy, lean athletic build, spiky orange-red hair sticking up, bright amber eyes, big confident grin, small bandage on his left cheek. He wears a patched, tattered red hooded cloak over a sleeveless dark-brown tunic, beige cropped trousers, cloth-wrapped forearms, and worn brown boots. He holds a cheap wooden sword with a cracked blade and a cloth-taped hilt. Scene (middle zone only): Low-angle heroic shot. YAMATO stands on top of a grassy hill at sunrise, his red cloak billowing in the wind, pointing his wooden sword toward the sky with a fearless grin. Glowing golden English letters swirl around his body like a ribbon of light, with warm golden sparks. Behind him: a vast fantasy continent with distant tall towers, floating clouds, and a huge pale moon still visible in the morning sky. A tiny rustic village with straw roofs sits at the foot of the hill. Title logo (top zone, most important element): reading exactly "FAKE LEGEND" on one line, spanning about 90% of the page width. Very thick, heavy, blocky letters filled with bright gold-to-red gradient, a thick black outline, and a white outer stroke, plus a strong dark drop shadow. The sky directly behind the logo is a simple, darker, low-detail gradient so the letters pop with maximum contrast. No sparkles, cloak, or effects crossing the letters. Episode name (bottom zone): a solid deep-red horizontal banner across the full width. On it, large, bold, clean white sans-serif letters reading exactly "Episode 1: A Lie Worth Believing", centered on one line, easily readable at phone size. Spell all text exactly as written, with no typos. No other text, no Japanese text, no watermark.
