Midjourney v6Use the uploaded [reference image] as the subject's exact face and likeness. Create an intricate black-and-white pen-and-ink cross-hatch illustration. Subject: a tight side-profile or three-quarter head shot of the subject from the [reference image], every wrinkle, brow line and strand of stubble rendered as fine crosshatched linework, round wire-frame glasses catching a sliver of highlight. Wardrobe: a plain collar, mostly lost in shadow. Setting: pure black background, no props. Lighting: a single hard raking sidelight to maximize the crosshatch shadow texture, extreme contrast between lit and unlit linework. Camera: tight head-and-shoulders crop, engraving-plate framing. Mood: dignified, intense, fine-art etching. Rendering: an intricate black-and-white pen-and-ink cross-hatch illustration, every texture built from fine linework, zero color, high-contrast engraving style, no photographic smoothness. Add a small, subtle, semi-transparent "promptybox.com" watermark in the bottom-right corner. Aspect ratio 9:16. Optimised for Gemini and ChatGPT / DALL·E (also works in Midjourney). Parameters: --ar 9:16 --style raw --v 6 --stylize 300 --quality 2 --seed [insert seed] --iw [insert image weight 1-3 for the reference face] --no color, photographic texture, extra limbs, warped hands, text artifacts
