An ultra-detailed engraved banknote–style portrait illustration created from a single uploaded reference photo. Use the uploaded image strictly as the only reference for face, hair, and gender. Keep the person’s identity exactly the same: same face shape, same bone structure, same jawline, same nose, same lips, same skin texture, same eye shape and perceived eye color, and the same perceived gender presentation as in the original photo. The hairstyle must be exactly the same as in the uploaded photo: same haircut, same hair length, same hair texture, same direction and volume of the hair, and same hair color and tone, with zero deviation.
Render the portrait in classic intaglio line engraving style with ultra-fine cross‑hatching, like a traditional banknote or currency engraving. The subject is positioned in a strictly front‑facing, perfectly symmetrical pose: shoulders squared and level, spine upright, head centered on a vertical axis with a maximum of 0–2° tilt, and the eyes looking directly at the viewer for unwavering eye contact.
Design elements and clothing:
The subject wears a Prussian‑blue officer‑style utility shirt, rendered entirely through dense engraved linework
Sharp notched collar and a deep V‑neck opening, evoking a modern‑vintage military authority aesthetic
Layered jewelry: a thin gold chain with a circular pendant and a larger oxidized bronze medallion below, both described with precise micro‑engraved lines and etched sunburst motifs
Headwear and hair:
A structured peaked officer’s cap sits symmetrically on the head, engraved in deep Prussian‑blue tones
Gold braided strap across the front and a weathered heraldic crest with a bird of prey, executed in guilloché‑like detail
The hair visible under and around the cap must follow exactly the hairstyle from the uploaded photo, engraved with rhythmic parallel strokes and subtle loose strands that still respect the original haircut and hair placement
Expression, lighting, and engraving tone:
Facial expression stoic and controlled, lips relaxed and slightly parted, eyes intense with subtle lower‑lid tension
Use engraved line density to simulate lighting: highlights with sparse, open line spacing and shadows built with layered cross‑hatching, like soft top‑front illumination in currency portraits
Color and paper:
Muted banknote color palette: Prussian blue, antique teal, oxidized gold, warm ivory paper tones, and very subtle rosy undertones, resembling a hand‑tinted historical currency print
Background and composition:
Background as a highly detailed engraved panorama: symmetrical neo‑classical or old‑world governmental architecture (arches, columns, clock towers, fortress walls) in low‑contrast linework
Add ornamental guilloché patterns, radial security rosettes, microtext borders, and filigree scrollwork framing the subject like a vintage banknote centerpiece
Background linework fades in density toward the edges to keep strong separation between subject and backdrop
Tight close‑up (head and shoulders), eye‑level perspective, vertical 9:16 composition, centered within an engraved ornamental frame, delivering a timeless currency‑portrait look that merges military authority, editorial fashion, and classic banknote engraving precision.
