Use the uploaded photo as the mandatory identity reference. Keep 100% of the original characteristics of the person: same face, bone structure, proportions, apparent age, gender, ethnicity, skin tone and texture, eye shape, nose, lips, eyebrows, hair (color, volume and hairline). Do not alter or reinterpret the face, do not make the person younger or slimmer, do not change any facial traits or remove real imperfections; the portrait must be a 100% accurate reproduction of the uploaded photo’s likeness inside the horror ink style described below.
Positive prompt – surreal grotesque black ink horror portrait
A highly detailed black and white ink illustration in a surreal and grotesque style, featuring the attached portrait as a 100% accurate reproduction of the person’s likeness. The drawing uses intense cross‑hatching and dense dotting (stippling) to create extreme texture and contrast, paying special attention to wrinkles, pores, tiny skin irregularities, and the texture of the hands and face. Every plane of the skin is carved out with layered hatching and stipple work, like an obsessive dark fantasy engraving.
Around and emerging from the figure, there are intricate swirling smoke visuals that morph into miniature figures, skulls, and root‑like organic structures, twisting and tangling around the head and shoulders. Parts of the face and head seem to dissolve into similar liquid, bio‑mechanical forms—tubes, sinewy strands, bony fragments and root systems—fusing human anatomy with surreal horror elements. The background is pure, velvety pitch black, making the white ink and mid‑tones of the cross‑hatching stand out with dramatic contrast, like a detailed carving or etching.
Overall aesthetic: dark, fantastical and deeply horrific, reminiscent of meticulous horror ink drawings, with obsessive detail, rich textures and a powerful sense of dread.
Negative prompt
No color at all; strictly black ink on white paper effect, with high contrast and no grayscale airbrush.
Do not simplify the face into cartoon, anime or stylized comic features; keep the likeness realistic and fully recognizable.
No soft digital painting, blur or smooth shading; avoid watercolor, pencil sketch softness, or 3D rendering.
Do not use bright backgrounds, patterns or scenery; the background must remain solid pitch black to emphasize the carved, horrific look.
