## Prompt

```text
Create a stylized contemporary watercolor and mixed-media portrait of a {character_description} in a close bust composition, shown in three-quarter view and softly looking toward the viewer. Preserve natural masculine features: strong jawline, expressive warm brown eyes, defined eyebrows, straight nose, well-shaped lips, medium olive skin, and a neatly trimmed full beard and mustache. Give him {hair_style}, plus a small gold hoop earring in one ear. Dress him in an open-collar white shirt under a loose blazer, with the clothing edges partially dissolving into paint. Use a clean off-white paper background with visible watercolor texture. Behind and around the figure, create dynamic abstract watercolor splashes and ink marks in {color_palette}, with drips running downward and splattered pigment radiating outward. Blend realistic facial rendering with sketchy ink outlines, wet-on-wet watercolor blooms, dry-brush texture, fine pen strokes in the hair, and expressive mixed-media paint splatter. Lighting should be soft and flattering, emphasizing the eyes and facial structure. Keep the portrait centered, shoulders visible, high detail in the face, looser painterly treatment in the jacket and background, no text, no watermark.
