## Prompt

```text
A powerful, muscular man (image Uploaded), captured in a gritty, high-contrast black and white cinematic portrait. He is looking downwards, his expression intense, brooding, and grim with eyes obscured by shadow. He wears a dark, worn t-shirt featuring a {shirt_logo} on his chest. Dramatic chiaroscuro lighting from above and slightly to the right creates stark highlights on his forehead, cheekbone, jawline, and the textured skull, casting deep, enigmatic shadows over his face. The pure black background emphasizes the solitary and imposing figure. Raw, authentic skin texture and coarse fabric texture are highly visible, with a subtle film grain effect adding to the raw, analog feel. The overall mood is serious, determined, and powerful, reminiscent of neo-noir graphic novels, --ar 9:16
