PROMPT TEXTVerified prompt instructions

Create a cinematic close-up profile portrait of a weathered steampunk inventor. SUBJECT: an older craftsperson with a salt-and-pepper stubble, deep-set focused eyes, brass-rimmed aviator goggles pushed up onto the forehead, leather apron over a high-collared shirt, faint oil smudge on one cheek. ATMOSPHERE: low-key lighting with a heavy amber glow — thick molten copper droplets suspended in the air, incandescent heat waves shimmering, sparks drifting upward. BACKGROUND: dark soot-stained workshop wall layered with vintage patent blueprints, floating translucent gear-ratio diagrams, hanging chains fading into shadow. SKIN: grit-textured, every pore and wrinkle rendered — age as character. LIGHTING: warm practicals from below-left (forge glow), cool rim from behind separating the profile from darkness. STYLE: cinematic sepia grade, 8K hyper-detail, industrial romanticism — the portrait of someone who builds impossible machines. Vertical 4:5. No text on blueprints must be legible gibberish — keep diagram lines abstract.
