prompt

FACE MATCH FIRST: the exact man in the attached photo - same hairline, brows, eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, jaw, skin tone, same facial hair as the reference. Never beautify or reshape the face.

STYLE: an expressive painterly illustration with bold visible brushwork - deep teal-green shadow and hot golden light, rain in the air, wet highlights, a shallow glowing depth of field.

Seen slightly from above as he looks up, face three-quarter with both eyes fully visible, hair wet and pushed back clear of the forehead. A deep indigo shirt clinging at the shoulders, collar open. One hand at his collar, fingers countable. Rain in warm light against deep teal shadow, a quiet grin. Vertical 9:16.

The face is drawn to the reference's exact proportions - same hairline, brow shape, eye size and spacing, nose, lips and jaw - recognisable at a glance, eyes their real size and never enlarged, never a generic stylised face. High resolution, clean edges, no artefacts, no extra limbs or duplicated features. No lettering anywhere.

CHECK: the face must match the reference exactly.
