Create an illustration that exactly recreates the uploaded image, keeping the person’s identity 100% identical while matching the same overall scene, composition, and style. Use the uploaded photo as the primary face and character reference.
Subject & identity
Keep the same person from the uploaded image as the main character
Maintain identical facial structure, bone structure, jawline, nose, eyes, mouth, lips, ears, and overall proportions
Preserve the same skin tone, gender, apparent age, and body build
Do not make the face younger or older, do not change gender
Keep the exact same hairstyle, hair volume, hair direction and silhouette, including hairline and texture
Preserve the same facial expression, gaze direction and head angle
Keep all unique details: moles, freckles, scars, wrinkles, skin texture, beard or lack of beard, and any other distinctive marks
Composition & framing
Single character portrait, centered in frame
Camera angle matching the reference (same perspective and crop)
Character from chest/shoulders up, same pose and posture as in the uploaded image
Hands and arms positioned exactly as in the reference (if visible)
No extra characters, no change in body position or gesture
Background & environment
Vintage newspaper collage background, full of old, yellowed newspaper pages with printed text and small illustrations
Aged, textured paper look with slightly worn, stained areas and faded print
Overall warm brown and sepia tones, subtle variations between darker and lighter areas
Background remains flat/2D like a poster, with clear separation between the character and the newspaper layer
Art style & rendering
Stylized illustration with strong black ink outlines
Look similar to a graphic novel / comic book portrait printed over old newspaper
Use a limited, muted color palette: sepia, beige, brown, dark ink lines, very subtle desaturated blues or grays only where present in the reference
Slight grunge texture overlay, giving a worn and vintage feel
High detail on facial features and hair, but keep the comic‑style line work and flat-shaded areas
Mild shading and highlights to match the original lighting, not hyper‑realistic
Lighting & mood
Soft, even lighting, no harsh shadows, consistent with the reference image
Warm overall color temperature, like aged paper under soft ambient light
Mood: calm, introspective, slightly dramatic like a classic illustrated portrait on vintage print
Technical / constraints
Aspect ratio: square (1:1), matching the reference framing
High resolution, sharp line art and clear facial details
Do not change the character’s identity or expression
Do not beautify, stylize or alter facial proportions beyond what is necessary to match the original illustration style
Use the uploaded image as the main face and character reference, keeping identity exactly the same in every detail
