Use the uploaded image strictly ONLY for face and identity reference. Preserve exact facial structure, proportions, skin tone, asymmetry, and natural details — no identity drift.
Create a highly stylized, ultra-detailed vintage Parisian chic editorial portrait in a hand-painted fashion illustration style blended with refined digital painting. The result must feel like a real artist-painted artwork with visible brush strokes — not clean or synthetic AI output.
