Prompt:
FRAME "KEEPER OF THE HEARTH"
(whole cat, warm, lively, attentive)
The general idea
It's not just a cat.
This is a house in the form of a cat.
Composition
Close-up, low camera, slightly sideways. Size 4:3.
In the frame:
• tricolor cat (white-red-black),
• She is sitting or reclining on a worn vintage rug,
• the body of the cat is gently curved,
• Head bent down,
• the gaze is focused, warm, a little thoughtful.
In front of the cat:
• Vintage Christmas tree toy in the shape of a Christmas tree,
• glass, slightly worn,
• the twigs are sprinkled with white frosted crumbs-snow.
The toy lies close to the cat's face —
like a small miracle that needs to be considered.
The cat's posture and character
Very important:
• the cat does not play sharply,
• she studies,
• paws are neatly tucked up or one is slightly extended,
• The tail is relaxed, can lie gently in an arc.
Muzzle:
• mustache is easy to read,
• the nose is warm,
• Eyes:
o half-closed,
o reflecting light,
o feeling of calm knowledge.
Light
The light source is outside the frame.
Lighting:
• warm,
• soft,
• as from a fireplace + lamps together.
Light:
• highlights the texture of wool,
• gives golden highlights on a glass toy,
• creates vivid reflections:
o fire — warm, trembling,
o blurred colored spots of Christmas decorations.
Shadows:
• soft,
• rounded,
• no sharp borders.
Background
• Bottom of vintage wooden chest of drawers:
o warm wood,
o no details,
o slightly blurred.
No extra items.
The frame is clean and focused.
The color palette
• warm honey,
• ocher,
• soft brown,
• muted emerald,
• milky white,
• Golden reflections.
❌ Without pure black.
