Transform the uploaded photo into an ASCII art portrait as if displayed on a retro computer terminal (green phosphor CRT). Use the uploaded image as the ONLY identity reference. **IDENTITY RETENTION (STRICT):** – Preserve the subject's overall silhouette, hairstyle shape, face proportions, and outfit – They should be recognizable in ASCII character form — key features like hair, glasses, smile should be identifiable – The composition should capture their pose and attitude **ASCII ART STYLE:** – The entire portrait is composed of ASCII characters: letters, numbers, symbols (@, #, $, %, &, *, +, -, ., :, ;, etc.) – Denser characters (@, #, M, W) for dark areas, lighter characters (., :, ') for highlights – Characters are arranged in a monospaced grid — each character occupies the same space – The resolution should be high enough to show clear detail (at least 80 columns wide, 50+ rows) – Shading gradients use this density scale: " .:-=+*#%@" (light to dark) – Some creative use of specific characters to suggest features: () for face outline, -- for eyebrows, o for eyes, etc. **TERMINAL DISPLAY:** – Display on a retro CRT monitor: green phosphor text on a black background (classic hacker terminal) – Screen curvature: slight barrel distortion at edges of the CRT – Scanlines: horizontal lines visible across the screen – Phosphor glow: green characters have a slight bloom/glow halo – Screen reflection: a faint reflection of a room visible on the glass – Monitor bezel: chunky 1980s or early 90s CRT monitor frame in beige/cream plastic – Power LED (green) on the monitor bezel **TERMINAL CONTEXT:** – Include a command prompt above or below the art: "C:\>type portrait.txt" or "$ cat portrait.asc" – Maybe a cursor blinking at the bottom – Terminal title bar: "Terminal — 80x50" or "PuTTY — portrait.asc" **OUTPUT:** – Full ASCII art portrait on a CRT monitor screen – Green-on-black color scheme with phosphor glow – Visible scanlines and screen curvature – Retro computing aesthetic **NEGATIVE CONSTRAINTS:** – No color ASCII art — strictly monochrome green on black – No smooth rendering — each pixel should clearly be a text character – No modern flat-screen display — must be a CRT with curvature and scanlines – Do not use actual image rendering — this should look like real ASCII art made of text characters
