Create an ultra-realistic dark steampunk close-up portrait using the uploaded reference photo, preserving 100% of the man’s facial identity — exact face, expression, proportions, hair, eyes, nose, mouth, beard, and all defining features.
Enhance overall quality, lighting, skin texture, object detail, contrast, and color depth.
Include a discreet signature in the lower-left corner using a contrast color from the scene: “@arsantos66”.
