Use the uploaded photo as a strict reference for facial and body structure.

Create a photorealistic, full-body recreation of Ellen Ripley as she appears in the film Aliens (1986). Show realistically textured skin with natural imperfections, subtle sweat, and battle grime.

Expression and gaze: She looks directly at the camera with an intense, fiercely determined expression. Her expression is stern, with her teeth slightly clenched to convey courage and unwavering resolve. Her eyes are focused and penetrating.

Pose and composition: She stands full-length in a firm, balanced combat stance, facing the viewer. She holds an M41A pulse rifle with both hands, angled slightly downward and forward in a low-ready position. Give her the iconic voluminous curly bob haircut.

Detailed outfit:
- Torso: A white cotton T-shirt, visibly soiled with grease, dust, and battle grime, with irregularly rolled sleeves.
- Tactical vest: An olive-green USCM (United States Colonial Marine) tactical vest made of heavy canvas, with detailed black nylon webbing, shoulder pads, and multiple magazine pouches with worn flaps. A green canvas bandolier crosses her chest, with several shotgun shells visible.
- Legs: Her characteristic pale lavender/gray-blue tactical cargo pants, with detailed stitching, large side pockets with Velcro flaps, and adjustable webbing straps with zippers at the ankle cuffs.
- Footwear: Faithfully recreate the iconic red, white, and gray Reebok “Alien Stomper” high-tech boots, with subtle text markings, complex traction soles, and Velcro strap systems.

Accessories: An olive-green canvas shoulder bag (haversack style) hangs from her left shoulder. She wears a simple silver wristwatch on her left wrist. Show dirt on her hands and under her nails.

Weapon: She firmly holds a highly detailed M41A pulse rifle with an integrated 30mm grenade launcher. Its military-green paint is worn, with visible metallic details on moving and friction-worn parts.

Lighting and environment: Use a dark, textured studio backdrop, such as industrial concrete or metal, suggesting the interior of the Hadley’s Hope space station while keeping attention on the subject. Use dramatic, high-contrast chiaroscuro studio lighting to bring out the texture of her clothing and face. Add a subtle blue or amber ambient light for atmosphere.

Photography specifications: Professional-quality, high-resolution 8K studio portrait, with sharp focus on the subject and subtle background bokeh. Use a 50mm f/1.8 portrait lens and subtle film grain.
