  • Rugged Restraint

    Rugged Restraint

    Use the uploaded image ONLY for face and identity reference. Preserve exact facial structure, proportions, skin tone, and natural features. Do not copy pose, expression, or composition from the reference image.
    Create a highly detailed black-and-white hand-drawn portrait in a raw, expressive sketch style.

    POSE & COMPOSITION (STRICTLY LOCKED)

    The subject is standing upright, front-facing directly toward the camera, with a straight body alignment. Shoulders are level and relaxed, not angled or turned. The head is positioned naturally upright with only a very subtle tilt (not exaggerated), and the gaze is directed forward (slightly soft, not staring aggressively).

    Framing is centered and symmetrical, with the subject placed exactly in the middle of the canvas. Composition includes head to upper torso (upper-chest visible). The pose must feel neutral, grounded, and stable — no dynamic angles, no leaning, no rotation, no profile or three-quarter view.

    Expression should feel story-driven and introspective, not overly intense — a calm, thoughtful, slightly distant gaze that suggests emotion beneath the surface.
    Hair is slightly dark, messy and natural, drawn with loose, energetic strokes that extend outward beyond the silhouette, creating a sense of movement and artistic chaos. Some stray lines should break the boundaries of the face and background for a dynamic, unfinished aesthetic.

    Rendering style must be extremely detailed and tactile, using:
    Dense cross-hatching and fine linework for shadows
    Layered sketch strokes to build depth and texture
    Strong contrast between light and shadow, especially around eyes, cheekbones, and jawline
    Visible construction lines and sketch marks to maintain a raw, authentic feel

    Facial details should be sharply defined:
    Deep, realistic eyes with subtle reflections
    Natural skin texture built through line density (not smooth shading)
    Structured nose and defined lips with soft tonal transitions

    Lighting should feel like a dramatic single-source studio light, creating bold highlights on one side of the face and deep shadow gradients on the other, enhancing dimensionality.

    SHADOW DETAIL (IMPORTANT)
    Add a soft but clearly visible shadow cast on one side behind the subject onto the background, aligned with the light direction. The shadow should be diffused yet structured, enhancing depth and realism.

    Background is clean white with abstract sketch lines and scribbles radiating outward, blending into the subject’s hair and form, reinforcing the artistic and expressive mood.

    BOTTOM FADE EFFECT (CRITICAL STYLE ELEMENT)
    The subject’s body should gradually dissolve into loose sketch strokes toward the lower portion, fading from detailed rendering into incomplete, expressive lines.

    NEGATIVE SPACE (IMPORTANT)
    Maintain balanced negative space on all four sides. The subject must not touch the frame edges. Keep clear breathing room above the head, on both sides, and below the torso for a premium, gallery-style composition.

    Style inspiration: fine ink/charcoal hybrid sketch, modern editorial illustration, raw and emotional, highly textured, imperfect yet intentional.

    Aspect ratio: 4:5 vertical
    Ultra-high detail, crisp line quality, no blur, no painterly softness — strictly sketch-based rendering.

  • Cross-Hatched Profile

    Cross-Hatched Profile

    Use the uploaded image strictly ONLY for face and identity reference. Preserve exact facial structure, proportions, eye shape, nose structure, jawline sharpness, grooming, and natural asymmetry.
    Pose & Body Position:
    Subject is seated upright (not leaning), with a straight spine and stable posture. Neck is perfectly straight and aligned vertically with the spine — no tilt, no rotation, no forward/backward bend. Head remains level and centered, facing directly forward.
    Ultra-tight vertical portrait (4:5), crop from mid-neck to slightly above hair top, face centered, straight-on angle, head filling ~85–90% of frame, minimal upper shoulder visibility.
    Neutral intense expression, eyes directly at camera, no smile, lips closed, subtle tension in eyes and brow.
    Hair should be thick and natural with realistic flow, not overly stylized or inflated. Avoid perfect volume or “hero hair”. Maintain slight irregularity, weight, and believable strand direction using sharp ink strokes.
    Outfit: Black minimal fitted high-neck clothing, matte fabric, subtle folds near neck and shoulders, rendered using cross-hatching (not flat black fill).
    Style: ultra-detailed black-and-white ink engraving illustration. Heavy cross-hatching and line-based shading. Use varied stroke density and direction to define facial planes. Avoid uniform or repetitive patterns. Include scratch lines, etched strokes, and raw ink texture for a hand-drawn feel.
    Lighting: strong chiaroscuro using line density (no gradients). One side of face slightly darker. Deep shadows under cheekbones, jawline, eye sockets, and neck. No soft lighting.
    Details: subtle facial scars and scratch marks. If a beard is present in the reference image, it is rendered with fine directional strokes, and skin texture is defined through linework (not smooth shading).
    Background: clean white with minimal ink splatter around edges only. No environment.
    Avoid generic face generation. Preserve raw individuality from reference.
    Negative prompt: anime, cartoon, soft shading, gradients, 3D, CGI, photorealism, color, glow, blur, smooth skin, beautified face, generic face, over-stylized hair, perfect symmetry, detailed background, logos, text, accessories, vector art

  • Cross-Hatched Mind

    Cross-Hatched Mind

    Create an 8K highly detailed head-and-neck portrait illustration of a person using the provided face reference. Preserve the exact facial proportions, identity, and unique features without alteration.
    Composition:
    The frame must include only the head and neck, tightly composed and perfectly centered. Maintain balanced negative space around the head and hair. The subject is looking directly into the camera with a strict eye-level, front-facing angle (no tilt). Expression should be calm, composed, and neutral.
    Art Style:
    Render the artwork as a raw, chaotic ink-style poster, constructed primarily from dense, curved black scribble strokes. The reference image is used strictly for accurate structure and likeness—do not stylize beyond recognition.
    Line Work & Form:
    Build hair, facial shadows, and depth using layered, overlapping, uneven lines
    Incorporate rough cross-hatching techniques
    Lines should feel organic, tangled, expressive, and slightly imperfect
    Embrace a sense of controlled chaos and hand-drawn energy
    Color Palette (Strictly Minimal):
    Skin: flat beige tone only (no gradients, no realism)
    Structure & shading: deep black ink strokes only
    No smooth blending or polished rendering
    Stylistic Details:
    Introduce slight asymmetry in line flow for a natural, raw feel
    Surround the subject with an irregular, abstract, tangled aura made of loose scribbles
    Enhance the chaotic energy while maintaining structural clarity
    Background:
    A solid, flat, vibrant orange background, clean and uniform, creating strong contrast with the black ink work
    Lighting:
    Lighting should be implied only through line density—do not use realistic lighting or shading techniques
    Overall Look:
    High-contrast, graphic, poster-like aesthetic with a raw, expressive ink illustration style
    Strictly Avoid:
    No outfit visible
    3D effects
    Realistic rendering
    Gradients
    Soft shading
    Any polished or clean digital finish
    Style Direction:
    Expressive ink illustration / raw sketch poster / abstract line-art portrait
    Output Quality:
    8K resolution
    Aspect Ratio: 4:5

  • Splattered Noir

    Splattered Noir

    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
    Negative Prompt (Strict)
    anime, cartoon, 3D, CGI, soft shading, smooth skin, glow effects, blur, low contrast, color, warm tones, painterly, watercolor, oil painting, photorealism, smiling, open mouth, exaggerated features, distorted anatomy, different hairstyle, clean digital airbrush style, glossy skin

  • Intense Assassin

    Intense Assassin

    Hyper-realistic, dramatic black-and-white neo-noir assassin portrait illustrated in an ultra-detailed ink engraving / cross-hatching style.
    Composition & Framing
    Vertical 4:5 portrait.
    Subject positioned on the left with 0% margin. occupies approximately the left 60–65% of the canvas.
    The right 35–40% must remain clean white negative space.
    Approximately 2/3 of the face is visible, cropped vertically through the centre of the eye.
    Framing is a tight cinematic close-up:
    • top crop slightly mid hair
    • bottom crop just above the upper shoulder
    Face orientation is almost straight toward the viewer, with a very slight forward angle.
    The eyes must be the strong focal point.
    Subjects Hair Styling (Corrected Fix)
    Detect the user's hairstyle in the uploaded image and rebuild it with the same level of extreme detail as the assassin artwork, focusing on natural thickness and texture, not simplified or well-groomed.
    Hair must appear:
    • Natural thick, layered hairstyle (not thin or short)
    • Dark colour
    • High-volume, dynamic messy flow
    • Slightly wet affected
    • Highly textured with slightly meticulous individual strand rendering
    • Large side-swept shape
    Hair rendering requirements:
    • Flowing hair with extreme detail
    • Dynamic messy flow
    • Subtle Individual, flowing hair strands meticulous rendering
    • Loose strands falling naturally across the forehead
    The hair should feel slightly wet and intense, like a noir action character, created with extreme attention to detail.
    Beard Enhancement (Critical Fix)
    Detect facial hair from the uploaded image and convert it into a rugged assassin beard texture.
    Rules:
    If clean shave → add light rugged stubble
    If stubble → convert to short dense stubble
    If beard → intensify beard density and texture with high volume
    Beard rendering must include:
    • visible hair strokes
    • cross-hatched beard shadows
    • strong jawline definition
    • natural beard thickness
    Beard must feel raw and masculine, not perfectly groomed.
    Skin Texture
    Add subtle gritty elements:
    • light scars
    • scratches
    • ink splatter marks
    • rough skin texture
    Skin shading must use dense cross-hatching, not smooth gradients.
    This creates a battle-hardened assassin aesthetic.
    Lighting
    Extreme noir chiaroscuro lighting.
    • One side of the face has deep shadow due to the lighting effect
    • other side strong illumination
    Shadows formed by dense ink hatching.
    Contrast must be very high.
    Illustration Style
    Ultra-detailed ink-engraving illustration.
    Visible:
    • cross-hatching
    • ink scratches
    • line textures
    • rough engraving strokes
    Inspired by:
    • noir graphic novels
    • vintage engraving art
    • crime thriller posters
    Background must remain clean white with large negative space.
    Mood
    Dark, brutal, cinematic assassin character.
    Expression intense, dangerous.
