IDENTITY PRESERVATION INSTRUCTION: Using the uploaded photo as reference, preserve the person's exact facial features, face shape, eye color, skin tone, and unique characteristics while transforming them into an Evangelion pilot. Maintain their natural facial expression and individual identity throughout the transformation.

TRANSFORMATION DESCRIPTION: Transform the subject into a pilot from Neon Genesis Evangelion wearing the iconic plugsuit and helmet. The plugsuit should be form-fitting with the characteristic ribbed texture and metallic accents in orange, red, and blue color scheme. Include the detailed pilot helmet with the distinctive visor design and communication equipment. The overall composition should be a dramatic character portrait showing the person as if they are about to pilot an Eva unit.

STYLE AND AESTHETIC PARAMETERS:
- Art style: Photorealistic anime cosplay with cinematic quality, blending realistic human features with anime-inspired costume details
- Lighting conditions: Dramatic studio lighting with neon accents (red and blue), strong rim lighting to highlight the suit details, and cinematic shadows
- Color palette: Vibrant anime colors - electric blues, deep reds, bright oranges, with metallic silver accents; maintain subject's natural skin tone
- Background: Dark, atmospheric hangar setting with subtle industrial elements and glowing Eva unit silhouette in the background; or clean studio background with dramatic color grading
- Texture details: High-quality materials - glossy helmet surface, textured plugsuit fabric, metallic armor pieces, reflective visor
- Pose: Confident pilot stance, looking forward with determination, hands possibly on helmet or controls

TECHNICAL QUALITY PARAMETERS:
- High resolution, 4K, detailed
- Sharp focus on face through the helmet visor or on the face itself
- Professional quality, cinematic composition
- Aspect ratio: 16:9 (cinematic) or 3:4 (portrait)
- Detailed costume rendering with accurate Evangelion design elements
- Natural integration of the person's face into the anime character

NEGATIVE PROMPT GUIDANCE: Avoid: distorted facial features, unrealistic proportions, blurry face, loss of likeness, poorly drawn costume elements, mismatched lighting, unnatural skin textures, incorrect Evangelion design elements, low quality helmet rendering, asymmetrical facial features, cartoonish proportions that don't match the reference photo

USER CUSTOMIZATION: {additional_context}

ADDITIONAL TIPS: For best results, ensure the uploaded photo has good lighting on the face and clear visibility of facial features. The prompt works best with front-facing or slightly angled portraits. You can specify in additional_context if you want to resemble a specific pilot (Shinji, Asuka, Rei, Kaworu) or prefer a particular plugsuit color variation.
