Keira / Lady Hawk — Character Exploration

Round 4 — Text-only, Caitríona-Balfe register (recommend for pick)

Best batch. Text-only prompts (reference-image API path was failing today). R4-fair-black-hair-hooded is the strongest brand face produced so far.

R4-01 · fair black-hair hooded

TOP PICK Balfe register hit

Fair Celtic skin, jet-black wavy hair, hood UP with soft shadow, hawk on shoulder, silver corset + celtic knotwork over rust top, teal cloak, misty forest. Age ~30.

R4-02 · fair black-hair hero

Strong Waist-up

Fair skin, wavy black hair, teal hood draped, silver-celtic corset over rust top, quiver visible. Solid alternate.

R4-03 · fair auburn hero

Off-spec Skin came olive

Full body + hawk + bow + quiver. Runway paired auburn with olive skin instead of fair — pairing tension.

R4-04 · olive chestnut hero

Solid dark Iberian register

Olive Iberian complexion (NOT African), chestnut hair, hood up, hawk perched. Correct Galician darker end.

Round 3 — Reference-image (R2-08 dark, R1-01 fair) — mostly failed

Only 2 landed before the reference-image API failed the rest with "unexpected error." Kept for pattern reference.

R3-30 · fair full-body

Outfit lock excellent

Outfit spec locked perfectly via reference. Hair came dark auburn instead of fair. Full body, hawk, bow, quiver, correct forest.

R3-11 · dark hood-up

Face inherited from R2-08

Prompt asked fair; reference (R2-08) dragged the ethnicity through. Confirms text can't override reference face.

Round 2 — Runway text-only (age-up attempt)

R2-05

Strong comp

Hood ended up down. Hawk + gear correct.

R2-06

R2-07

Cinematic

Sunset forest, quiver, torc. Youngest of batch.

R2-08

Best OUTFIT

Boss-approved OUTFIT — silver corset, teal cloak, cleavage register on-target. Face came dark African (not what we wanted).

Round 1
