Identity: the face, skin, body and hair are the subject's own and never change. Where a hairstyle is described below, style the subject's own hair into it; never change the hair's colour, length or texture. Apply only the outfit, makeup, hairstyling, pose and setting described below.
Create an illustrated portrait in a retro anime-influenced painting style.
Subject: the subject, chest-up crop. Makeup applied to the subject's own face: fine dark
lashes, thin ink-drawn liner along the lids, glossy coral-pink lip with a painted white
highlight. The subject's own hair is piled into a loose high updo, with wispy loose
strands falling at both temples. Large round eyeglasses with thin pale gold metal rims
and clear lenses.
Large thin gold hoop earrings. A fine gold chain necklace with a small pendant at the
sternum. The subject wears a black turtleneck under an open black jacket with a wide collar,
both painted as flat black masses with hard white specular streaks.
Action: head turned 15 degrees to the subject's left, chin slightly lowered, eyes lifted directly
into the lens in a steady unsmiling look, lips closed and neutral, expression cool and
self-possessed.
Setting: a flat medium-blue field, completely unmodelled, no objects, gradient or
texture, with a thin darker border framing the image.
Visual style: hand-illustrated retro portrait art in the manner of 1980s airbrush and
ink magazine illustration — flat colour blocking, hard-edged black shapes, thin
confident ink outlines around the features, smooth airbrushed gradients, glossy
painted highlights, matte paper finish. Not photoreal, not 3D, not digital painting with
soft brushwork.
Composition: centred chest-up portrait, eye level, head filling the upper two-thirds of
frame, the top of the head cropped at the top edge, shoulders reaching both side edges.
Lighting: flat illustrative lighting with soft airbrushed shading down the right side of
the face, bright white specular streaks painted onto the jacket.
Text inside: none.
Constraints: never render photoreal or 3D, never add photographic texture,
never smile or part the lips, never look away from the lens, never model the background
with depth, texture or objects, never crop tighter than the chest, never break the
jacket into soft gradients — it stays a hard flat shape, never soften the ink
linework, never change the subject's face, skin or body, and never change the colour, length or texture of the subject's hair — style it only as described.
Output: 3:4 vertical.
