Splattered Noir

Full prompt

Use the uploaded image as a strict identity reference. Preserve the subject’s facial structure, proportions, skin tone, eye shape, nose, jawline, lips, hairline, hairstyle, and beard density exactly, with no beautification, stylization drift, or identity alteration. Create a high-contrast black-and-white neo-noir ink illustration portrait with a gritty, intense cinematic mood. Use a 4:5 vertical composition: a tight head-and-neck framing with slightly below-collarbone visibility, the subject filling approximately 80–85% of the frame. Center the face while retaining slight natural asymmetry. The head faces forward but turns a few degrees toward the subject’s left, the viewer’s right; the chin is slightly lowered for a controlled, downward intensity. Keep one side of the face subtly more dominant because of the angle. Show minimally visible, slightly angled shoulders rather than a squared pose, with the subject grounded and leaning slightly forward into the frame. Maintain direct eye contact with a slightly narrowed, focused gaze, relaxed eyelids, and a serious, calm, controlled expression. Preserve the reference hairstyle exactly: thick, slightly voluminous hair with natural subtle forward flow and visible ink-rendered strands. Preserve the short, rugged beard with its realistic density and sharp edges without trimming or redesign. Render in an ultra-detailed ink illustration and engraving style using heavy cross-hatching, fine linework, scratch textures, high micro-detail in the skin, beard, and hair, visible hand-drawn imperfections, sketch lines, and etched shading. Use a graphic-novel neo-noir aesthetic, not photorealism. Use dramatic high-contrast chiaroscuro lighting, with strong shadows defining the cheekbones, jawline, and eye sockets; bright highlights on the forehead, nose bridge, and cheek planes; and deep blacks in the hair, beard, and shadow regions. Keep a clean white background with black ink splatters, random drops, streaks, and scratch marks surrounding the subject, minimal but gritty. Dress the subject in a dark formal outfit consisting of a black suit and white shirt, with subtle linework that does not distract from the face. Crisp edges, no blur, and professional editorial illustration finish.
