A high-contrast comic book style portrait featuring bold ink outlines, cross-hatching, and a vibrant halftone background for a modern graphic novel aesthetic.
Create a square close-up comic book / graphic novel portrait of {argument name="character description" default="a young Black man with short cropped black hair, warm brown skin, dark brown eyes, full lips, and a calm neutral expression"}. Frame the head and upper shoulders centered, facing straight toward the viewer with symmetrical composition. Preserve realistic facial proportions and identity-like detail, but render everything as bold superhero-style illustration: thick black ink outlines, detailed cross-hatching on the face and neck, expressive engraved shadow lines, glossy highlights on the forehead, nose, cheeks, and lips, and rich warm orange-brown skin shading. Add a simple dark crew-neck shirt with subtle ink folds. Use a vibrant {argument name="background color" default="blue"} halftone comic background with dense dot texture, radial burst energy lines shooting inward from the edges toward the face, distressed print grain, and a thick black rectangular comic panel border. Lighting should be dramatic but frontal, with high contrast, crisp linework, saturated colors, and a polished modern graphic novel finish. No text, no speech bubbles, no logos, no watermark.
