Casting reference portrait of a 27-year-old man, neutral expression, professional casting studio. Face: conventionally handsome in a soft, unremarkable way, a clean smooth jaw with light patchy stubble, straight nose, a faint smugness in the set of the mouth. Light hazel-brown eyes set a touch close together, with an untrustworthy softness to them. Skin: fair, completely unretouched, visible pores, faint old acne scarring across the cheeks, a slight shine on the forehead, a little under-eye shadow. Hair: dark-blond to light-brown, short, styled up and to one side with a little product. Build: average and lean, narrow shoulders, not muscular (deliberately less physical than the male lead). Casting energy: charming on the surface and hollow underneath, the good-looking young man who is quietly rotten, photographs as pleasant but reads as weak and cruel. Capture: neutral mid-grey seamless background, soft even key, medium close-up, 50mm-equivalent at T4, eyes tack-sharp, direct to camera. Photorealistic, full skin texture, natural asymmetry, documentary-real, no stylization. Portrait framing. Negative: rugged, weathered, muscular, heroic, tough, heavy beard, glamour, plastic skin, airbrushed, symmetrical perfect face, oversaturated, HDR, CGI, cartoon, oversharpened, deformed hands, watermark, text

Generate a single, hyper-realistic character reference image (strictly no collages, text, watermarks, or borders). The image must feature a cinematic, three-quarter portrait of the described character, maintaining a sharp, tack-focused emphasis on the face with natural skin textures, pore details, and realistic micro-expressions. The lighting should be cinematic and directional (e.g., subtle split or Rembrandt lighting) to give depth, blending seamlessly with the environment specified in the character description. The character must have a natural, living presence, looking slightly off-camera or directly at the lens with a subtle, context-aware expression. Ensure the full head, neck, and upper shoulders are completely unobstructed. This image serves as a high-fidelity identity blueprint for temporal-consistent video generation.
