Use this Nano Banana prompt to edit a photo, preserving 100% of the real face, hair style, and gender while converting the subject into a stylized vector/poster character.
Identity lock – 100% face, hair, gender
Use the uploaded image as the single and exact identity reference.
Keep the person exactly the same as in the photo with 100% identical facial features and gender: preserve skull and bone structure, facial proportions, eye shape and distance, eyelid shape, nose bridge, nostrils and tip, lip contour and thickness, jawline, chin shape, cheekbones, natural asymmetry and micro‑details, and apparent age.
Keep the HAIR 100% IDENTICAL TO THE PHOTO: same hairstyle family, exact hairline position and shape, same hair volume, length, direction and texture (straight/curly/wavy/afro/dread etc.), and same grooming style. Do not change the haircut, do not straighten or curl differently, do not simplify or invent a new style; only translate this exact hair into the requested illustration style.
Do not alter gender presentation or body type; the generated character must look like the same real person from the uploaded photo, with the same face and hair.
Main subject and pose
Create a high‑octane, stylized digital vector illustration featuring a charismatic male figure using the uploaded face as reference.
The subject strides forward with swagger and confidence, hands tucked casually into the pockets of sleek black trousers.
He is clad in a jet‑black, knee‑length trench coat with a popped collar, the coat billowing open at the bottom to reveal a striking, vibrant crimson red inner lining that contrasts sharply with the monochromatic outfit.
He wears a dark, unbuttoned dress shirt and dark aviator sunglasses, exuding a cool, cinematic noir aesthetic reminiscent of a high‑end action game loading screen.
Rendering style – graphic novel / stencil / woodcut
The rendering style should mimic a sophisticated graphic novel or stencil art with a clean vector look.
Use heavy, intricate cross‑hatching and woodcut‑style shading lines to define:
The texture and folds of the trench coat, shirt and trousers.
The volume, direction and texture of the hair, matching the reference hairstyle exactly.
The contours and planes of the face and neck while keeping the likeness perfectly recognizable.
Shading must rely on high‑contrast ink blacks, dense line work and minimal gradients, like premium graphic novel or woodcut shading.
Background and graphic elements
Place the character centered against a minimalist, high‑key light grey background.
Add abstract grunge elements: subtle texture, scratches, faint stains and splatter so the background is not flat.
Integrate vertical barcode‑style lines, geometric red shapes (rectangles, slashes, triangles) and dynamic red paint splatters around and behind the figure to suggest motion and energy.
These red elements should visually connect with the crimson coat lining and help frame the silhouette.
Color palette and contrast
Use a sharp, controlled palette: deep ink blacks, neutral greys, clean white and bold crimson red accents.
The trench coat, trousers and shirt remain predominantly black with cross‑hatched shading; the inner lining of the coat and selected graphic elements are vivid crimson red.
Maintain very high contrast between black shapes/lines and the light grey background, with crisp edges and no muddy midtones.
Lighting and mood
Lighting is essentially flat vector lighting with dramatic shadowed accents created through solid black areas and cross‑hatching.
Emphasize strong shadow shapes under the jawline, inside the coat, around the collar and in trouser folds, with sharp highlights on hair edges, sunglasses and coat lapels to enhance the noir attitude.
Overall mood: edgy, confident, graphic‑novel action hero feel, reminiscent of a stylized GTA‑style loading screen or premium poster art.
Style and quality
Overall style: high‑contrast vector / graphic novel / stencil‑woodcut hybrid, high‑end poster aesthetic.
The image must read as a sharp, clean vector‑like illustration with razor‑crisp edges and linework, not blurry or painterly.
8K resolution look with extremely clean contours, precise line work, and clearly resolved cross‑hatching textures even in close‑up.
Negative prompt (use in “Negative Prompt”)
Do not change or approximate the person’s face: no face morphing, no identity drift, no generic model face, no anime or cartoon simplification of facial features.
No plastic 3D CGI, no soft airbrushed gradients, no photorealistic skin rendering; keep the vector / graphic novel / cross‑hatch style.
Avoid neon multi‑color palettes; stick to black, grey, white and controlled crimson red accents.
Avoid low‑resolution blur, pixelation, heavy AI artifacts or messy glitch effects.
No extra logos, watermarks, UI elements or random text in the image.
