Make one finished portrait in one prompt

The flagship Pet Photo Prompt: Portrait Scene From Your Pet's Own Photo takes your pet's details, markings, scene, pose and mood, lighting, and where you will use the image. It returns a feature lock, a paste-ready portrait prompt, two variations, a likeness check with a fix line, and safety notes. Its example puts an orange and white tabby on an autumn windowsill while keeping its white chest and white front paws.
