Lü Bu Historical Warrior Poster

Goal: To create a picture about{argument name="character name" default="Lü Bu"} This dramatic vertical infographic poster of a legendary general from the Three Kingdoms period combines cinematic fantasy realism with ancient-style manuscript design. Canvas: Vertical 3:4 poster with a parchment-gray textured background, featuring ink stains, dust, smoke, battlefield gravel, and subtle cracks. Employing a high-contrast cinematic composition, the main figure charges explosively outwards from the center. Subject: A majestic ancient Chinese heavy cavalry general rides a deep chestnut warhorse, charging directly towards the viewer. The rider wears magnificent deep bronze and black lamellar armor, adorned with red fabric, chains, metal shoulder armor, and an exquisite helmet with two extremely long red pheasant feathers, rising high and curving outwards. His face is deliberately blurred/masked with a soft rectangular blur, while the rest of the image remains sharp. He thrusts a massive, ornate halberd into the camera, creating an extreme close-up perspective: the weapon's blade is enormous, blurred by depth of field, extending from the lower left into the rider's hand. The warhorse's mane billowed in the wind, adorned with decorative reins, metal ornaments, and tassels; its forelegs raised, kicking up mud and smoke. Left-side layout: A large, vertically arranged black calligraphic title.{argument name="main title" default="Lü Bu"} The brushstrokes are bold. Smaller vertical phrases are placed beside them.{argument name="vertical subtitle" default="Flying General, Fierce General, Hero of a Chaotic Era"} Below the title is a red stamp and a brief Chinese introduction, including "The First Fierce General of the Three Kingdoms," "c. 160–199 AD," and several lines of small serif Chinese text. Infographic panel: Seven translucent parchment event cards are placed around the central rider. Each card has a thin, light gold rectangular border, large two-digit numbers, a Chinese event title, year, a brief Chinese description, and a monochrome sketch-style battle illustration. The seven visible cards are: 01 "Born of Jiuyuan" and "c. 160 AD" (top left); 02 "Valiant General of Bingzhou" and "184 AD" (top right); 03 "Slaying Dong Zhuo" and "189 AD" (center left); 04 "Battle of Hulao Pass" and "190 AD" (center right); 05 "Shooting the Halberd at the Gate" and "191 AD" (bottom left); 06 "Battle of Xiapi" and "194 AD" (bottom right); 07 "Death at Baimen Tower" and "199 AD" (bottom right). The panel should maintain a perspective tilt, appearing to float behind the general and partially obscured by smoke and horses. Bottom Timeline: Seven soft gold timeline milestones are added to the bottom edge, corresponding to the cards: "Born in Jiuyuan around 160 AD," "Joined the army in Bingzhou in 184 AD," "Slayed Dong Zhuo in 189 AD," "Battle of Hulao Pass in 190 AD," "Shooting the Halberd at the Gate in 191 AD," "Battle of Xiapi in 194 AD," and "Death at Baimen Tower in 199 AD." Small dots connect the thin horizontal lines, with subtle decorative patterns below the center. Visual Style: Ultra-refined, cinematic Chinese historical fantasy style, realistic armor and horse anatomy, dynamic feel, shallow depth of field, and a smoke-filled battlefield atmosphere, based on dark brown parchment, accented with ink black, deep bronze, oxblood red, and pale gold highlights. The background panel presents the texture of an archival sketch printed on old paper. Constraints: Use Chinese characters as visible graphic elements, strictly maintain the number of 7 event cards and 7 timeline milestones, no modern items, no logos or watermarks, no extra characters in the foreground, and maintain a poster-style editorial infographic layout.
