Neo-Noir Assassin Engraving Portrait

Use the reference photo as the identity source. Preserve the subject's identity with maximum accuracy: maintain original facial structure, proportions, skin tone, eye shape, nose, lips, eyebrows, age, and all unique features without beautifying or altering them. Transform into [an ultra-detailed ink engraving and cross-hatching style]. Composition & Framing: - Vertical 4:5 aspect ratio. - Position the subject on the far left with virtually no left margin, occupying 60–65% of the frame. - Keep the right 35–40% as clean white negative space. - Tight cinematic close-up showing two-thirds of the face, vertically cropped near the center of one eye; top crop slightly through the hair, bottom crop just above the shoulders. - Face turned almost directly toward the viewer; eyes are the primary visual focal point. Hair & Facial Features (Adaptive to Reference): - Recreate reference hairstyle authentically, enhanced with dynamic flow, subtle damp texture, and fine engraved cross-hatching. - Adapt facial hair faithfully: if clean-shaven, add only subtle rugged stubble; if a beard or mustache is present, enhance depth using fine etched lines (do not add a beard if absent in reference). Skin & Lighting: - Battle-hardened assassin appearance with fine skin texture, subtle scars, faint scratches, tiny ink splatters, and dense cross-hatched shading. - Extreme neo-noir chiaroscuro lighting: stark directional contrast where one side is brightly lit and the opposite side plunges into deep shadow built purely from dense engraved hatching.
