Create a high-detail, textured graphic-novel portrait (not vector, not clean illustration).
FRAME (LOCK):
Chest-up shot. Subject fills ~75-80% frame. Positioned slightly right.
Lower left side must have some clear empty space. Do not zoom in or crop tight.
POSE (HARD LOCK):
Body facing left (back visible) side in the frame.
Left shoulder closer to camera.
Head turned back over left shoulder, looking directly at viewer.
Face angle ~30–40° (not front-facing).
Maintain strong shoulder depth. Do NOT flatten body.
EXPRESSION:
Intense, serious, slightly intimidating.
Tight jaw. Focused eyes. Brow compressed.
LIGHTING (FORCE THIS):
Single hard light from upper-left.
– bright highlight on: left forehead, cheekbone, nose bridge
– light strip on front suit (lapel area)
– right side of face = deep shadow (near black)
– sharp shadow edge across face (clear light/shadow split)
No soft light. No even lighting. No ambient fill.
STYLE (ANTI-VECTOR):
Textured ink rendering, not clean digital art.
Subject must be rendered entirely in black and white (grayscale only), using pure black, white, and grey tones. No skin color or natural color tones allowed.
– slightly rough edges
– visible grain/noise
– layered linework (thick + thin + micro)
– hair = individual strands, messy flow
Avoid smooth, clean, vector-like finish.
SHADING:
Halftone only in shadow zones + subtle grain overlay
No gradients. No flat fills.
SUIT:
Black tailored suit
– visible folds and tension lines
– sharp shoulder crease
– highlight edge on front
– no flat black areas
SHIRT:
White shirt
BACKGROUND (IMPORTANT):
No straight split. No centered division.
– left: very light grey (flat, clean, minimal texture)
– right: rich saturated red
The transition must feel like red paint has burst into the grey:
– irregular, broken, organic boundary (not a straight line)
– uneven paint edges with slight bleed into grey
– grey area mostly clean with minor invasion near boundary
SPLASH (DETAIL):
High-density layered splatter:
– large & medium irregular splashes (explosive shapes, not circular)
– medium scattered drops
– very fine micro particles (dust-like spray, clearly visible)
– directional spray patterns (not uniform)
– higher density on red side, gradually reducing toward grey
– mix of red and black splatter
– subtle splatter interaction on subject's back/shoulder edge
– avoid symmetry, avoid pattern repetition
AVOID:
front pose, soft lighting, smooth gradients, vector style, flat shading, skin color, centered subject, clean vertical split.
Aspect ratio 4:5
