Tariq ibn Ziyad Portraits
Nine photos of you in one setting
How your model is created from your photos
Every pack on Narcis, made with your face
Nine photographs of you in one setting: one pack of the Narcis catalogue.
Nine photographs of you, styled as the Berber commander Tariq ibn Ziyad — a striped burnous, a mail shirt, a drawn sword — at the 711 landing, before Toledo's gates, and in the Andalusian hills, in portrait format. The nine vary in crop, expression and light, so there are real choices, not nine identical files.

The Tariq ibn Ziyad register
This pack draws on the Berber-commander register — a dark Berber turban wound with a tail over the shoulder, a mail shirt under a striped woollen burnous, a round shield, a straight sword, a bay horse. The palette runs Berber indigo, burnous white, Rock grey, sea blue, and fire orange — the vocabulary of the commander whose name still marks the Rock of Gibraltar and whose speech about the sea at his back is still quoted.
Three situations carry the register: standing on a rocky shore beneath the great limestone rock as the boats burn on the water behind, sword drawn and pointed inland; mounted before the open gates of Toledo on a hill, a plain white banner beside him; riding at a trot through olive-and-rock country with cavalry behind. The output is photoreal — a real-looking berber warrior photoshoot portrait of you in the burnous, not a painting.
How to photograph yourself for a Tariq ibn Ziyad photoshoot
Better source photos make better portraits.
- Even, soft lightStand near a window with indirect daylight. Avoid overhead bulbs and flash.
- Front or three-quarter angleEye level, facing forward or turned slightly. No selfie-stick uplook.
- Face fully clearHair off the forehead, no sunglasses. A clear face gives the model the most to match under the turban.
- A resolute expressionThis register reads as a commander at the point of no return rather than a casual smile — a firm, forward gaze suits the landing scene especially.
- Plain background is fineThe shore, Toledo's gates, and the Andalusian hills replace whatever's behind you — a plain wall just helps the model focus on your face.
Frequently asked questions
- Will it actually look like a real Tariq ibn Ziyad photoshoot?
- Yes. The output is photoreal — a real-looking photograph of you in mail and a striped burnous, at the shore landing, before Toledo's gates, or in the hills. Not a painting, not a cartoon.
- Which scenes does the pack cover?
- Three that trace the conquest of 711: the landing beneath the Rock with the boats burning, the gates of Toledo, and the Andalusian hills. Nine portraits, three per scene.
- Who was Tariq ibn Ziyad?
- The Berber commander who led the 711 crossing into Iberia — the Rock of Gibraltar (Jabal Tariq, 'Tariq's Mountain') carries his name to this day. This pack styles that specific moment in history.
- How is this different from Yusuf ibn Tashfin or Abd al-Rahman III?
- This is the conquest itself, a century-plus before the Almoravid emir Yusuf and the Cordoban caliph Abd al-Rahman — each pack styles a different chapter of al-Andalus. Pick the era you want.
- Can women use this pack?
- The costume renders as a male sitter by default — the commander's own dress. Alhambra Sultana and Sayyida al-Hurra cover female Andalusi registers separately.
- Can I use it commercially?
- It's for personal use — profile pictures, prints, gifts — not licensed stock photography for resale or ad campaigns.
- 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
