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)

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
