Art style: 2D Hand-drawn. A clearly recognizable likeness of Emil — keep their real face shape, skin tone, hairstyle, build and any signature look (hair, kit, number). Create ONE single character portrait of Emil, using the two uploaded photographs as the PRIMARY and most important visual reference. Preserve Emil's real recognizable appearance: bald head, white-grey beard, distinctive eyes, eyebrows, nose, facial structure, jawline, age, body proportions and overall presence. He must clearly look like the same real person from the photographs. Transform the real person into a sophisticated hand-drawn 2D animated character for a mature European artistic series about icon painting. Style: refined European 2D illustration, hand-drawn lines, subtle painterly textures, natural proportions, restrained warm colors, elegant and artistic, suitable for an intelligent documentary-style animated series. Emil is an experienced Eastern Christian iconographer. Calm, serious, thoughtful and natural. ONE PERSON ONLY. ONE CHARACTER ONLY. ONE FACE ONLY. Create a single clean character portrait, preferably 3/4 view, from the chest up. Do NOT create a character sheet. Do NOT create multiple versions. Do NOT create multiple poses. Do NOT add text, labels or annotations. Do NOT change his facial features. Do NOT make him younger. Do NOT make him slimmer. Do NOT make him handsome in a generic way. Do NOT exaggerate or caricature his features. Not photorealistic. Not 3D. Not anime. Not Pixar. Not Disney. Not chibi. Not childish. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image in the following art style: Classic 2D hand-drawn animation, clean expressive outlines, simplified shapes, soft cel shading, illustrated backgrounds, traditional animated-film aesthetic.
