ANIMATION

Use the uploaded image as the ONLY facial and identity reference. Preserve 100% exact facial structure, proportions, skin tone, facial features, hairstyle, and facial hair. Do NOT beautify, smooth, alter, or stylize identity. Create a high-contrast GTA-style vector / cell-shaded portrait illustration. Hard cell-shading only. No gradients. No soft rendering. No painterly effects. COMPOSITION & FRAMING (STRICT): Medium close-up (head, shoulders, upper chest visible) 4:5 vertical aspect ratio Subject perfectly centered Shoulders fully visible and balanced Top of hair slightly cropped Subject fills 75–80% of frame POSE & EXPRESSION (LOCKED): Front-facing Direct eye contact Confident, intense expression (subtle, natural — not exaggerated) Slight tightening around eyes and jaw for intensity No head tilt or dynamic angle LIGHTING (CRITICAL): Strong directional light from top-left Left side brightly lit Right side in deep shadow Sharp shadows under eyebrows, nose, cheekbones, jawline, and neck High contrast with clear separation No flat lighting STYLE EXECUTION: Use 3–5 distinct tone blocks per area Angular shadow shapes (no smooth blending) Bold, clean outer outline around entire subject (clearly separating subject from background) Fine inner lines for details (skin folds, wrinkles, hair strands) FACIAL DETAIL: Preserve natural skin texture Include subtle under-eye folds and light forehead lines Maintain natural asymmetry (avoid perfect smoothing) HAIR: Match exactly as in reference image Preserve natural hairstyle, density, hairline, and texture Do not add volume or stylize beyond reference FACIAL HAIR: Match exactly as in reference image If clean-shaven → keep clean If stubble → subtle texture If full beard → detailed, dense texture Do not add or exaggerate facial hair CLOTHING: Simple black crew-neck t-shirt Visible folds and shading (not flat black) BACKGROUND: Clean white background Behind head: bold mustard-yellow rough brushstroke Irregular edges, slightly diagonal for contrast OUTPUT: Ultra sharp edges Crisp vector finish High contrast No blur, no softness No missing outline
