The Red Cap

Use 100% of the facial features from the uploaded reference image with absolute identity preservation. No alteration, no enhancement, no reshaping, no beautification under any circumstance. Strictly use the uploaded image for exact facial structure, proportions, skin texture, beard density(if available in reference image), jawline, nose shape, lips, ears, and hairstyle. Identity must remain perfectly locked. Subject & Pose Create a high-contrast, semi-realistic digital illustration portrait of a young man in a three-quarter view (face clearly visible, not extreme side profile), head turned slightly to the right. Expression is calm, confident, and bold. Facial planes are fully readable with balanced visibility of both eyes, nose bridge, lips, and jawline. Headwear & Accessories The subject wears a vivid red baseball cap worn forward, with realistic stitching, seams, and natural fabric folds. Black sunglasses with deep red reflective lenses, clearly reflecting an urban city street with buildings and road perspective, sharp and realistic reflection geometry. Wardrobe Dark black modern streetwear jacket with bold red panels and accents, clean edges, structured folds, and realistic material depth. High-contrast styling with sharp transitions between black and red. Outline & Separation (Very Important) Apply a strong, clean subject outlining effect exactly like the image — a crisp, smooth edge highlight combined with subtle rim-lighting around the cap, sunglasses, face contour, jawline, shoulders, and jacket. Controlled thickness and soft glow separation to detach the subject cleanly from the background. Color Palette & Style Strictly use a black, white, and bright red color palette only. Deep blacks remain rich and solid, whites are clean, reds are saturated and bold. High-contrast, graphic-novel-meets-ultra-realism aesthetic. Background Dark background with abstract red paint splashes, ink splatters, and street-art textures, layered dynamically behind the subject. Paint splashes feel energetic and sharp, enhancing intensity without overpowering the subject. Lighting & Detail Cinematic lighting with dramatic contrast and controlled highlights. Ultra-realistic skin texture with visible pores, natural micro-details, accurate light falloff, and realistic shading. Hair and beard are sharply defined with clean, realistic edges. Professional DSLR realism, precise color grading, subtle glow highlights, and polished illustration depth. Composition Vertical 4:5 aspect ratio. Subject centered with strong visual balance and depth. Watermark Add a small professional “Prompt Plum” watermark at the bottom-left corner, slightly reduced in size, elegant typography, visually striking yet unobtrusive. Final Rule Absolutely no change to facial identity. Identity must remain fully preserved and locked at all times.
