Portrait Drawn in Persian Calligraphy

Needs your photo. Upload a photo of yourself in ChatGPT first, then paste the prompt.

Create a vertical 3:4 monochrome artwork of the person in the uploaded photo, where the face is finely drawn and the rest of the figure is built from flowing Persian nastaliq calligraphy. IDENTITY LOCK (absolute priority) The uploaded photo is the only reference for who this person is. The result must show the exact same individual, not someone who looks similar. Preserve exactly: face shape and bone structure, proportions and spacing of the features, eye shape and color, eyebrows, nose, lips, jawline, chin, ears, natural asymmetries, skin tone and natural skin texture, facial hair, hairline and hair color, and their real apparent age. Do not beautify, slim, smooth, symmetrize, idealize, age, de-age or redesign the face. Do not add wrinkles, forehead lines, under-eye bags, hollow cheeks, sagging or weathered skin. The person must not look older, more tired or more worn than in the photo. The art style below applies to everything except facial anatomy. If style and likeness ever conflict, likeness wins. FACE Render the face realistically in fine black ink and soft graphite shading, like a master portrait drawing. Clean, controlled lines; gentle tonal transitions; no calligraphy strokes, splashes or texture crossing the face. Eyes sharp and alive. HAIR, SHOULDERS AND CLOTHING Build the hair, neck, shoulders and clothing entirely from sweeping nastaliq calligraphy strokes. The strokes follow the real direction of the hair and the folds of the fabric, thick where the reed pen presses and hair-thin where it lifts. Near the face the lettering is dense and controlled; toward the edges it loosens into abstract, airy flourishes that fade into the paper. TEXT The calligraphy is decorative and abstract unless specific Persian words are given in quotes. If words are given, write them correctly in nastaliq, legible and well formed, and place them along the shoulder or the flowing hair. PAPER AND MEDIUM Warm off-white handmade paper with visible fibers and a slightly uneven deckled edge. Deep black ink with natural density changes, a few small controlled ink drops, and soft graphite under-drawing visible in places. COMPOSITION Head and shoulders, the face slightly above center, generous empty paper around the figure. Calm, elegant, museum-quality. AVOID Color, printed or digital fonts, Latin letters, random fake script, calligraphy over the face, distorted features, a different face, older-looking face, heavy texture on the skin, frames, signatures, watermarks.
