Create a fantasy warrior character portrait from the uploaded photo. Keep the facial identity recognizable, preserve the main facial features, hairstyle, expression, skin tone, and recognizable outfit cues, then transform the person into a heroic fantasy warrior. Add detailed realistic armor with engraved metal, leather straps, battle-worn texture, dramatic cape, cinematic lighting, epic stormy or castle background, realistic fabric and metal textures, confident heroic posture, subtle atmospheric particles, sharp fantasy poster composition, and a premium movie-character portrait mood. Avoid copying any existing franchise character, readable logos, or cartoon styling.

How to adapt it
For a darker warrior portrait, use blackened steel, storm clouds and blue rim light. For a noble knight look, use polished silver armor, velvet cape and castle-window lighting. Keep the identity instructions near the start so the face stays recognizable.
