Monochrome Neon Doodle Portrait

Use the uploaded user photo as the **ONLY source of the main subject’s identity**. Preserve the user’s exact recognizable identity with maximum fidelity: facial structure, face shape, proportions, forehead, hairline, eyebrows, natural eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, cheeks, cheekbones, jawline, chin, skin tone, natural skin texture, facial hair if present, and all distinctive characteristics. **Do not copy the reference subject’s identity. Do not beautify, reshape, slim, age, de-age, masculinize, feminize, or reinterpret the user’s face.** The user’s identity and gender presentation must remain unchanged. The reference image controls everything except identity.
Recreate the reference as a high-end **black-and-white editorial portrait with playful neon-yellow hand-drawn graphic accents**. Composition is a vertical **near-square 4:5 portrait**, with the subject occupying most of the frame from approximately the mid-chest upward. Position the subject centrally, slightly lower than the vertical center, with the shoulders extending toward both lower corners. Use a simple studio setup with a smooth medium-gray background that subtly darkens toward the edges, creating a soft vignette while keeping the background clean and minimal.
The subject wears a **plain black crew-neck T-shirt**, naturally fitted around the shoulders and upper torso, with realistic fabric folds and deep black tonal values. Add **black rectangular/wayfarer-style sunglasses** similar in overall shape and placement to the reference. The sunglasses should remain an accessory only; never let them alter the user’s underlying facial identity. Add a small subtle earring only if consistent with the reference styling, without changing the user’s identity.
Recreate the exact reference posture: the subject is standing or seated upright with shoulders relaxed, torso facing generally toward the camera, while the head is slightly tilted and turned toward the subject’s **right side (viewer’s left)**. The chin is subtly lowered, producing a relaxed, confident, slightly mysterious editorial attitude. Keep the neck and shoulders naturally aligned with the reference. No hands are visible in the composition.
Recreate the reference facial behavior rather than the user photo’s expression. The expression should be **calm, serious, slightly detached and contemplative**, with relaxed lips and no smile. The eyes are concealed behind the sunglasses, but the implied gaze should follow the reference: directed slightly sideways rather than directly toward the camera. Preserve the same subtle head rotation, head tilt, chin position, and overall attitude. The user’s original facial expression, gaze, and head pose must not override the reference.
Use a **straight-on eye-level camera perspective**, approximately medium-close portrait distance, with a natural portrait lens perspective around **50–70mm** and minimal distortion. Keep the subject sharply detailed while allowing only very subtle background softness. Maintain the exact visual balance: large clean gray negative space around the head and shoulders, centered subject, symmetrical overall framing with the head slightly angled.
Lighting should be soft but directional, producing smooth grayscale modeling across the face, neck, sunglasses, and black shirt. Use a large diffused key light positioned slightly above and toward the front-left of the subject, with gentle fill from the opposite side. Preserve controlled shadows beneath the chin, around the neck, hair, and shirt folds. Add subtle highlights along the hair and shoulders. The final photograph should have rich blacks, clean whites, smooth mid-gray transitions, realistic skin texture, and refined monochrome contrast.
The hairstyle should be adapted from the reference’s overall visual styling—**voluminous, naturally textured, slightly tousled hair with visible curls/waves and fullness around the top and sides**—but must remain compatible with the user’s actual hairline, facial identity, and natural appearance. Never replace the user’s recognizable features simply to imitate the reference hair.
Around the subject, recreate the distinctive **hand-drawn neon-yellow and white graphic doodles** from the reference. Use thin, energetic sketch-like strokes rather than polished vector graphics. Place a bright yellow lightning-bolt symbol above the upper-right side of the hair, a yellow question-mark-like doodle near the upper-right side of the head, small yellow abstract accent strokes near the upper-left area, and additional yellow zigzag/lightning strokes around the shoulders and sides. Add loose white circular/arc strokes partially surrounding the head and shoulders, appearing hand-painted and imperfect. Include small yellow “X” marks over the lenses of the sunglasses, matching the playful graphic treatment. Keep the doodles integrated around the subject without obscuring the face or changing the underlying photograph.
Maintain a **black, white, gray, and neon-yellow color palette only**. The portrait itself must remain monochrome; neon yellow is reserved strictly for the hand-drawn graphic accents. The doodles should have a slightly rough marker/brush texture with natural imperfections, giving the image a contemporary social-media/editorial poster aesthetic.
Overall style: **photorealistic monochrome fashion editorial portrait, modern streetwear aesthetic, cinematic studio photography, high contrast, clean composition, subtle film grain, realistic skin and fabric texture, premium magazine-quality retouching, playful hand-drawn graphic overlay, sophisticated but youthful mood**. Preserve realistic anatomy, natural proportions, believable lighting, and photographic depth.
**STRICT PRIORITY:** USER PHOTO = WHO THE PERSON IS. REFERENCE = expression, emotion, gaze, head pose, body pose, clothing, accessories, composition, graphics, lighting, environment, and style. The final result must unmistakably remain the person from the uploaded user photo while recreating the reference image’s exact visual behavior and composition. Do not introduce additional people, objects, text, logos, watermarks, alternate facial features, different identity, excessive beauty retouching, or unnecessary background elements.
