Use the supplied image as the absolute authority for the central character’s identity, facial structure, anatomy, proportions, silhouette, hair, and all other identity-critical features.
Invent new minimal clothing that is completely different from anything visible in the supplied image. Do not reproduce any garment, neckline, fabric arrangement, accessory, costume detail, or styling from the reference.
Create a vertical chest-to-head portrait of this same adult character, rendered as a flat 2D graphic illustration with a dark, sensual, intimate, depressed, chaotic, surreal, degraded, obscure, and slightly horrific atmosphere.
IMPORTANT:
Do NOT copy the pose, gesture, body angle, head position, expression, clothing, accessories, framing, background, or composition from the supplied image. Invent a completely new pose, new clothing treatment, new crop, and new composition while preserving the character’s recognizable identity and physical characteristics.

The expression should feel languid, psychologically exhausted, distant, haunted, or emotionally depleted. The face must NOT be fully visible or cleanly readable. Obscure portions of it using hair, deep shadow, cropped facial planes, distressed graphic fragments, smeared shapes, scratches, peeling textures, broken contours, and areas swallowed by negative space.
Hair must retain the character’s identity-critical length, texture, volume, shape, and defining characteristics from the supplied image, but it may be rearranged naturally for the new composition. Allow strands, masses, or silhouettes of hair to obscure parts of the eyes, cheeks, neck, or shoulders.
Avoid a clean glamour portrait. At most, one eye may remain partially visible beneath heavy shadow or hair while other facial features dissolve into darkness, texture, abstraction, or cropped graphic planes.
Use distressed mixed-media graphic textures throughout the image: cracked surfaces, torn-paper edges, eroded paint, dry-brush marks, ink scratches, splatters, vertical drips, broken contours, weathered print texture, fragmented shapes, scraped surfaces, misregistered print effects, damaged poster texture, and visual decay.
Allow portions of the character to dissolve into the surrounding abstraction so th
