Cross-Hatched Profile

Full prompt

Use the uploaded image strictly and only as a face and identity reference. Preserve the exact facial structure, proportions, eye shape, nose structure, jawline sharpness, grooming, and natural asymmetry. Pose and body position: The subject is seated upright, not leaning, with a straight spine and stable posture. The neck is perfectly straight and vertically aligned with the spine, with no tilt, rotation, or forward or backward bend. The head remains level and centered, facing directly forward. Create an ultra-tight vertical portrait with a 4:5 composition, cropped from mid-neck to slightly above the top of the hair. Center the face in a straight-on view, with the head filling approximately 85–90% of the frame and minimal upper-shoulder visibility. Expression: neutral and intense, eyes looking directly at the camera, no smile, lips closed, with subtle tension in the eyes and brow. Hair: thick and natural with realistic flow, not overly stylized or inflated. Avoid perfect volume or “hero hair.” Preserve slight irregularity, natural weight, and believable strand direction using sharp ink strokes. Outfit: minimal fitted black high-neck clothing with matte fabric and subtle folds near the neck and shoulders, rendered with cross-hatching rather than a flat black fill. Style: ultra-detailed black-and-white ink engraving illustration with heavy cross-hatching and line-based shading. Use varied stroke density and direction to define the facial planes. Avoid uniform or repetitive patterns. Include scratch lines, etched strokes, and raw ink texture for a hand-drawn feel. Lighting: strong chiaroscuro expressed through line density, with no gradients. One side of the face is slightly darker. Include deep shadows beneath the cheekbones, along the jawline, in the eye sockets, and on the neck. No soft lighting. Details: subtle facial scars and scratch marks. If a beard is present in the reference image, render it with fine directional strokes. Define skin texture through linework rather than smooth shading. Background: clean white with minimal ink splatter limited to the edges. No environment. Avoid generic face generation; preserve the raw individuality of the reference.
