REFERENCE: [uploaded image of person] The person drawn in the style of Mike Mignola's Hellboy. Massive black shapes, angular geometry, stark limited color. CRITICAL LIKENESS: RECOGNIZABLE through silhouette and minimal lines. Glasses and headwear are the key identifiers. USE LIKENESS ONLY, NOT pose. ENTIRELY ILLUSTRATED. ONE SINGLE IMAGE. EXACTLY ONE PERSON. HEADWEAR AND GLASSES: Beanie KEPT as a bold angular flat shape defining the silhouette. Glasses KEPT, thick black rectangles, one lens with a single sharp white highlight. These carry the likeness, keep them prominent. MIGNOLA TECHNIQUE: - Enormous areas of solid black ink - Form defined by where the black stops, not by lines - Angular geometric shapes, everything squared and sharp - Minimal detail, extreme reduction - Heavy blocky shadows swallowing most of the figure - What is left out matters more than what is drawn THE FIGURE: - Face mostly in shadow, only key planes lit - A slash of light across the cheekbone - Eyes hidden behind the glasses, or two hard highlights - Facial hair as a solid black angular mass - Body as a strong dark silhouette - Standing still, weight low, quietly imposing LIGHTING: Single hard source from one side. Extreme contrast, no midtones. Light carving sharp geometric shapes from the black. COLOR: Three or four colors maximum. Flat solid fills, no gradients. Deep black dominant. Accents of rust red, cold grey-blue. Ochre beanie as a single warm flat shape against the black. SETTING: Angular geometric suggestion. A doorway, ruined wall, or stone arch as flat black shapes. Almost no detail. Gothic, ominous. Fog filling the negative space. COMPOSITION: Strong asymmetric design. Figure as dark mass against a lighter field. Large empty areas of pure black. Poster-like. MOOD: "Mer skugga än man." Ink as architecture. Format: 4:5 vertical
