FAKE LEGEND / Ep2-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; cinematic lighting; beautiful and dramatic mood. 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 characters, effects, and busy details must stay inside the middle zone and must never overlap or cover the text. Characters (keep designs exactly as described): - SERA VANCE (the main focus): 17-year-old girl, tall and composed, silver hair in a high ponytail, cool blue eyes. Her fingertips are semi-transparent, fading like mist. Dented silver-and-blue knight armor that fully covers her body, a torn dark-blue cape, a chipped silver longsword. - YAMATO: 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; patched, tattered red hooded cloak over a sleeveless dark-brown tunic, beige cropped trousers, cloth-wrapped forearms, worn brown boots. - MOONY: a palm-sized baby dragon with a round chubby body, pale lemon-yellow scales, tiny bat-like wings, big round black eyes, two small nub horns, a short stubby tail, and a white crescent-moon marking. Scene (middle zone only): A moonlit forest clearing at night, cool blue and silver light. SERA stands in the foreground, drawing her silver longsword with a calm, piercing gaze toward the viewer, her ponytail and torn cape flowing in the wind. Tiny white paper flakes drift away from her semi-transparent fingertips like falling petals. Behind her, YAMATO stands back-to-back with her, grinning and raising his glowing fist wrapped in faint golden light. MOONY sits on YAMATO's head. A large full moon glows between the trees. 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 a 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, dark-blue, low-detail gradient so the letters pop with maximum contrast. No sparkles, hair, cape, 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 2: The Girl Nobody Remembers", 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.
