Use the attached photo as the identity reference and preserve 100% of the person’s facial features, facial proportions, bone structure, skin tone, hair style and gender. The face must clearly be the same person as in the photo, only translated into the requested gritty realism illustration style. Keep the same hairstyle shape, hair length, hair color, hair texture, hairline and overall silhouette, matching the photo exactly. Do not change the person’s gender, perceived age, face shape or ethnic traits. Maintain the same overall facial identity and attitude, only enhancing it slightly to fit the mood, without altering who the person is. The image must retain the original face and must not change the gender of the subject.
Create a close-up portrait illustration in a gritty realism style with bold, woodcut-inspired linework layered over realistic shading. The subject is a man (same as the attached photo), with highly detailed skin texture where pores, wrinkles and small imperfections are clearly visible, and a stoic, serious facial expression. Use strong contrast and directional lighting to emphasize the structure of the face, jawline and eye sockets.
Dress him in a black leather jacket with clearly visible leather grain, seams and folds. Cover the jacket with many band emblems and patches, including: “CBGB”, “RAMONES”, “NOFX”, “MISFITS”, “SEX PISTOLS”, “MADBALL” and an emblem of the United Kingdom flag. The patches should look like worn punk / hardcore band logos, slightly distressed but still readable, arranged organically across the jacket. Under the jacket, he wears a black T‑shirt.
On the black T‑shirt, place a large, full-color illustration design featuring demons, skulls, satanic flaming imagery and mythological creatures, in a transparent ink style that allows the black fabric to show through. The graphic should feel like an extreme metal or hardcore album cover: fiery, infernal and highly detailed, with dynamic flames, skulls and supernatural forms integrated into one cohesive illustration.
Fill the background with dense ornamental patterns made from complex gothic fonts and lettering of various sizes, overlapping and crossing each other, like a ritual poster or an urban mural for a heavy music event. The gothic letterforms should create a chaotic, wall-to-wall texture behind the subject, both large and small characters interwoven, without overpowering the face. Use a bright, high-contrast color palette for the background and ornaments: deep orange, golden yellow and teal (blue-green).
Lighting should be dramatic and high-contrast, sculpting the facial structure and making the skin look realistic and textured, with very visible pores and micro-details. Keep the overall mood intense, raw and urban, as if this were a promotional poster or cover art for a heavy music show.
Camera angle: low-angle worm’s-eye view, looking slightly up at the subject, with the subject’s eyes staring directly into the camera. Frame it as a close-up portrait focused mainly on the head, shoulders and upper chest. Output: 8K, ultra high detail, clean, ultra sharp, consistent."
