## Prompt

```text
ASPECT_RATIO: [{aspect_ratio}]

SOURCE_IMAGE: [{reference}]

ACCENT_COLOR: [{accent_color}]

Use the uploaded photo as the base image and the only identity source. Keep the person exactly the same and clearly recognizable. Ignore the original framing and always recompose into a tight close-up or upper-body editorial crop, with the face dominating the frame. Transform the image into a gestural editorial ink fashion illustration. The style must be built from bold black brushwork, not delicate sketch lines.

Use:

very thick black brush strokes

broad dry-brush sweeps

large asymmetrical black ink masses

long loose calligraphic lines

broken contours

scratchy secondary linework

strong black-on-ivory contrast

smooth monochrome skin

The thick strokes must be clearly dominant. Do not render the portrait mainly with thin contour lines. Do not make it neat, polished, or softly illustrated. The image should feel painted with a loaded brush and finished with sharp expressive pen marks.

Keep the portrait stylish and high-fashion.

Use one hero accessory, preferably oversized translucent tinted sunglasses.

The accent color [ACCENT_COLOR] must live mainly inside that accessory, especially in the lenses, as a bold luminous tint. Only tiny supporting traces of the same color may appear elsewhere.
```
