The Isiagu Register
The isiagu is the Igbo man's pullover tunic, its black cloth printed or embroidered with lion heads in repeat. The portrait takes that print seriously: the lion is the garment's whole argument, a shirt that carries a lion the way a family carries its name. The red okpu-mmuo cap belongs to titled men, and the coral beads at the neck and wrist and the walking stick complete a figure of standing rather than costume.
The frames stay in the courtyard of a compound, under warm side light, with an ornate carved wooden door behind. In the wider view oil palms stand over red laterite earth and the compound walls rise behind him. The palette is gold on black with red at the cap and the coral, and the photographs are photographic in construction, with real fabric weight and skin.
How to prepare a selfie for the Isiagu portrait
An ordinary, well-lit photograph is enough. These habits sharpen the likeness.
- Even, soft lightStand near a window with daylight on your face. Avoid overhead bulbs and flash, which flatten a face.
- Face fully clearHair off the forehead, no sunglasses. A clear, front-facing selfie is the best starting point.
- Eye levelCamera at eye level, facing it or turned slightly. No shot from below.
- Plain backgroundYour own backdrop does not matter. The pack builds its own setting.
Frequently asked questions
- What is in the Isiagu pack?
- Nine photographs in three settings: a full-length portrait in a compound courtyard before an ornate carved wooden door, a close frame of the lion-head print at the chest with the coral strands, and a half-length view under oil palms on red earth.
- What is an isiagu?
- The isiagu is an Igbo men's pullover tunic, printed or embroidered with lion heads. Worn with the red okpu-mmuo cap of titled men, it is a garment of rank and occasion, seen at festivals and weddings in southeastern Nigeria.
- Are these real photographs?
- They are AI-generated, built on photographic principles: cloth, light, skin and dust. They are not drawings and not animation.
- Does the pack show a real person?
- No. The man in the frames is a composed character, an Igbo man in his forties with a short beard, generated from a written brief.
- Is the pack suited to a wedding?
- The frames suit the groom's register of the igba nkwu, with the isiagu worn for the ceremony. The pack is a portrait, not a record of a real event.
- Will the photos look like me?
- Every photo looks like you, well photographed. If one is nearly right, say what to change, in your own words.
- Do I have to write a prompt?
- No. There is nothing to write: you pick a pack, and it is ready in seconds.
- How many photos of myself do I add?
- Between six and twenty, from different days and in different light, with your face clear. We check each one when you add it.
- What happens to the photos I add?
- They are used only to create your model, on our own servers in the European Union. They are not shared and not sold.

About narcis
Most AI photo tools put every pose, job, era, and style in one giant catalog. The photos all look like every other AI photo on the internet — a glaze over a stock face. Narcis goes the other way. One job: photos of you that look like photographs. You add at least 6 photos of yourself, and we create your AI model from them. Your photos are ready in a few hours, and we email you when they are. Then this pack and every other pack on Narcis can be made with your face. Each pack is curated against real references — paintings, photographers, places — and tested on real faces before it goes live. Built and run by one small team, on our own servers.
All images are AI-generated. By using this service, you confirm you are 18+, that any face photo you upload is your own or used with explicit consent. Full Terms
