FACE MATCH IS THE TOP PRIORITY. This is the exact woman in the attached reference photo - not a lookalike. Copy the reference face feature by feature - hairline, hair, brows, eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, jawline, skin tone - every proportion identical, so anyone who knows her recognises her instantly; do not beautify, broaden or genericise. From the reference keep only the face and hair.

A mass-hero illustrated poster: a matte black field slashed with dry crimson splatter at the edges, kept far from her face. THE TEXT: the word BOSS, spelled exactly B, O, S, S - every letter complete and correct - as giant rough amber brush-stroke capitals, their edges ragged like a single loaded stroke, kept a step dimmer than her face, filling the frame behind her, her head and shoulders covering parts of the letters, every covered stroke continuing naturally and correctly behind her, the only text anywhere in the image.

WARDROBE: she stands chest-up in a tailored black shirt with only the single top button undone - the collar opens slightly at the base of the neck and the rest of the shirt stays fully buttoned; a modest neckline with no cleavage visible. ACCESSORIES: minimal small earrings only - tiny plain gold studs or slim gold huggies, understated and barely catching the light; no necklace, no other jewellery. No sunglasses, both eyes fully visible, hands out of frame below the chest-up crop.

GAZE: chin level, eyes locked straight on the viewer. Expression: unhurried command, jaw set soft. The illustration lights her with one warm frontal key above the viewer - face brightest with crisp painted catchlights, amber rim from the letters kept behind her edge. Painterly-real finish, features exact. Vertical 4:5. Only this one person.

LIGHT LAW: the face is lit only by this scene's own light - same direction, same colour temperature, same softness, with shadows falling exactly as the environment dictates - never a pasted studio face.

FINAL CHECK: the face must match the attached reference exactly - if any feature differs, it is wrong; the shirt has only one button open with no cleavage; the earrings are small and minimal; and the word BOSS must read letter-perfect, the only text anywhere.

About this look

Brilliantly captured within the frame, the woman exudes confidence with her chin level and eyes locked on the viewer. The careful balance of light creates a painterly finish, accentuating her features while the warm lighting complements the underlying amber tones of the backdrop and text. The deliberate absence of additional elements maintains focus on her commanding presence and the clean, direct typography behind her, enhancing the overall aesthetic of authority.

How to use this prompt

Start with a detailed reference photo of the woman to ensure a perfect face match, capturing her unique features. Specify the tailored black shirt with only the top button undone, and pay close attention to the accessories, ensuring they’re minimalistic. For the illustration, prioritize a painterly-real finish while managing the typography for the word 'BOSS.' Adjust if the features do not perfectly replicate the reference or if the text lacks clarity in representation.
