Concept: a classical marble bust come alive as an old engraving, caught loving a cold modern drink, the only real object in its world.
A 28-year-old man [use attached face reference], styled as a Greco-Roman sculpture: full sculpted curls, a draped toga falling off one shoulder, skin like carved marble. Rendered entirely as a steel engraving in a single [deep ultramarine] ink on bright white paper. Lines follow the form, curving around cheek, curls and folds, swelling thick in shadow and tapering in light. The shadow side of the face, neck and drape falls into dense, near-solid ink; highlights are clean untouched white. No grey wash, scribbled hatching or photographic skin.
Tight crop from mid-chest up, body turned three-quarters to camera left, head tipped back 10 degrees, at least 70% of the face visible. The moment just after the first cold sip: the straw has just left his lips and hangs a finger's width away, mouth open in a wide satisfied exhale, cheeks lifted, crow's feet creasing, eyes squinted almost shut with pleasure, brows raised high. His right elbow is tucked to his ribs, hand raised just below the chin, fingers wrapped around the back and sides of a real, photographic [chilled aluminium soda can], leaving the front label clear.
The can is a true studio photograph: condensation beads, crisp metal edges, a saturated glossy gradient from [electric magenta] at the top to [hot tangerine] at the base, the only colour in the frame. Label faces camera: [your brand] large in bold white capitals with tight spacing, then [Cola Classic] smaller beneath, a thin rule, and fine print near the base, all legible.
The engraving stops exactly at the can's edge, with no half-engraved zones. The can casts a soft, real contact shadow onto the engraved fingers and chest. Light comes from upper left for both.
Background: pure clean white paper, no hatching behind him. No text except the can's label, no border.
