PROMPT
Use the uploaded image as a strict identity reference. The subject’s facial structure, proportions, skin tone, eye shape, nose, jawline, lips, hairline, hairstyle, and beard density must remain 100% identical. No beautification, no stylization drift, no identity alteration.
Create a high-contrast black-and-white neo-noir ink illustration portrait with a gritty, intense cinematic mood.
Composition & Framing
Aspect ratio: 4:5 vertical
Framing: Tight head-and-neck portrait (slightly below collarbone visible)
Subject fills ~80–85% of the frame
Face is centered but not perfectly flat — very slight natural asymmetry
Pose & Head Position (FIXED)
Head is facing forward but subtly turned a few degrees to the subject’s left (viewer’s right)
Chin is slightly lowered, creating a mild downward intensity
One side of the face appears very slightly more dominant due to angle, not perfectly symmetrical
Shoulders are minimally visible and slightly angled, not squared flat
Overall pose feels grounded, natural, and slightly leaning forward into frame
Eye Direction & Expression
Direct eye contact, but with a slightly narrowed, focused gaze
Eyes are not wide — subtle intensity with relaxed eyelids
Expression remains serious, calm, and controlled
Hair & Beard
Thick, slightly voluminous hair styled naturally with subtle forward flow
Visible strand detailing with ink strokes
Short, rugged beard with realistic density and sharp edges
Must match reference exactly (no trimming or redesigning)
Style & Rendering
Ultra-detailed ink illustration / engraving style
Heavy use of cross-hatching, fine linework, and scratch textures
High micro-detail in skin, beard, and hair
Visible hand-drawn imperfections, sketch lines, and etched shading
Graphic novel / neo-noir aesthetic, not photorealistic
Lighting
Dramatic high-contrast chiaroscuro lighting
Strong shadows defining cheekbones, jawline, and eye sockets
Bright highlights on forehead, nose bridge, and cheek planes
Deep blacks in hair, beard, and shadow regions
Background
Clean white background with black ink splatter effects
Random ink drops, streaks, and scratch marks around the subject
Minimal but gritty, enhancing the raw illustrated feel
Clothing
Dark, formal outfit (black suit, white shirt)
Subtle linework detail, not distracting from face
Quality & Finish
Ultra-sharp, highly detailed
Crisp edges, no blur
Professional editorial illustration quality
