## Prompt

```text
[Character], clearly adult photorealistic, retaining core identity: hairstyle outline, hair color, eye main color, face shape/brow-eye relationship, character main color, iconic accessories, and temperament.

Vintage Hollywood studio portrait × 1940s-1950s fashion photography × Neon duotone portrait × Retro-futurist editorial image × Synthwave color logic.

Overall combination of retro studio portrait and neon duotone poster: Pose, styling, and performance from classic 1940s-50s studio fashion portraits; Color processing and atmosphere from high-saturation cyber duotone system.

Person placed before minimalist seamless studio background, clean and unified, large whitespace or pure color field. Person adopts compact dramatic poses, e.g., squatting, hands supporting face, arms wrapping body, tilted shoulders, knees together, forming tight composition of classic retro fashion portrait. Expression restrained, cold, thoughtful, combining old star temperament with futuristic alienation.

Clothing and styling feature retro fashion elements, e.g., curls, structured dresses, gloves, small hats, stockings, fitted silhouettes, or abstractly integrated into character's original outfit, not cosplay but high-fashion reconstruction.

Colors use strong neon duotone logic: Skin, clothing highlights, or large lit areas transformed into one high-saturation main color; Hair, shadows, or accessories into second high-saturation secondary color; Background uses deep black, purple, blue, or pure light color. Forms clear dual/tri-color structure, large blocks, strong contrast, graphic clarity.

Lighting retains retro studio soft light base, adding planarized, posterized color separation effects. Image has structure of old star promo photo and strong futuristic character poster feel.
