IllustratedPortrait (image)

Use the uploaded reference photo of the person to preserve their exact facial identity, natural facial features, face shape, skin tone, hairstyle, beard style, and overall appearance. Transform the person into an ultra-detailed, premium-quality semi-realistic anime illustration while maintaining a natural and recognizable likeness.

POSE & BODY LANGUAGE: A stylish young man leans casually against a textured beige concrete pillar on his right side, with his upper back and shoulder resting against the wall. His body is angled slightly toward the camera, and his head is gently tilted upward and turned toward the left side of the frame. He looks into the distance with a calm, confident, sophisticated expression. Both hands are casually placed inside the front pockets of his trousers, with relaxed elbows, natural shoulders, and an effortlessly stylish posture.

FACE & HAIRSTYLE: Use realistic facial proportions, subtle skin shading, and premium dark rectangular sunglasses with lightly reflective lenses.

OUTFIT: A fitted, plain black button-down shirt with the top two buttons casually open and sleeves rolled up to the elbows. Include natural fabric folds, realistic stitching, subtle highlights, and a tailored silhouette. Pair it with elegant cream-white trousers featuring realistic creases and a soft fabric texture. Add a premium black wristwatch with a round black dial and metallic detailing on the left wrist. Keep the outfit minimal, luxurious, modern, and masculine.

BACKGROUND & ENVIRONMENT: Recreate the elegant architectural setting. On the right, include a tall, warm beige textured concrete pillar with subtle imperfections and the man's soft shadow falling across its surface. On the left, include large dark-framed glass windows with black vertical metal frames, reflecting a softly illuminated outdoor environment. Place lush green ornamental plants with long, slender leaves near the window in the lower-left background. Include a dark grey architectural wall behind the subject. Keep the background consistent with the reference image, including the placement of the pillar, windows, plants, and architectural elements.

LIGHTING & COLOR GRADING: Use warm golden-hour sunlight entering from the left, casting amber highlights across the face, hair, neck, forearms, and shirt edges. Add soft cinematic shadows, warm sunlight reflections on the glass, subtle rim lighting, rich charcoal blacks, earthy beige tones, natural olive greens, and a sophisticated golden-brown palette. Create a moody yet bright editorial atmosphere with balanced contrast and realistic ambient occlusion.

ART STYLE & IMAGE QUALITY: Create a premium semi-realistic anime illustration blended with realistic digital painting, using high-end Japanese seinen art aesthetics, refined hand-painted textures, exceptionally detailed hair strands, expressive facial shading, realistic anatomy, smooth tonal transitions, sophisticated linework, crisp clothing details, cinematic depth, and a polished professional finish. The image should look like an expensive digital art commission created by a master illustrator—not a simple cartoon, flat vector illustration, or ordinary photograph.

CAMERA & COMPOSITION: Use a vertical 2:3 portrait composition and a three-quarter body shot, from the head to the upper thighs. Position the subject slightly right of center. Use natural perspective, an eye-level to slightly low camera angle, a 50mm portrait-lens aesthetic, sharp focus on the face and upper body, a softly detailed background, balanced negative space, and the same framing and subject proportions as the reference image.

FINAL OUTPUT: Produce an ultra-high-resolution, 8K-quality premium digital illustration with cinematic lighting, intricate textures, exceptional detail, professional color grading, clean edges, anatomically correct hands, realistic fingers, natural body proportions, consistent facial identity, beautiful depth and dimension, and flawless visual composition. Preserve the reference image's pose, outfit, background arrangement, lighting direction, color palette, and overall aesthetic as closely as possible. Final aspect ratio: 4:5.

IMPORTANT: Replace only the original person's identity with the identity of the person in the uploaded photo. Keep the same pose, clothing style, sunglasses, wristwatch, architectural background, plants, warm golden-hour lighting, and semi-realistic anime illustration quality.
