Generates a dramatic black-and-white noir comic scene for transforming a portrait into a hard-boiled detective illustration. Change the subject, setting, or lighting one variable at a time.
Create a black-and-white noir comic illustration in a gritty manga/graphic-novel style: a rain-soaked 1930s detective alley at night, with exactly one trench-coated detective in the right foreground, exactly one glowing vintage streetlamp in the left foreground, and a dark city canyon of tall buildings fading into fog behind them. The detective wears a wide-brim fedora, high-collared wet trench coat, dress shirt, and dark tie; his body is cropped from chest upward and turned slightly toward camera, occupying the right half of the frame. Replace the face area with a smooth, featureless dark gray rectangular placeholder centered under the hat brim, as if reserved for {argument name="character face" default="a recognizable selfie face"}. Use {argument name="comic style" default="hard-boiled noir manga ink"} with dense cross-hatching, heavy black shadows, sharp white highlights, scratchy pen texture, and high contrast. The setting is {argument name="setting" default="a narrow brick alley in a rainy old city"}; wet cobblestones reflect the streetlamp, white mist rises near the ground, rain falls in vertical streaks, and brick walls with rough mortar texture frame the scene. Lighting should be dramatic: the streetlamp creates a glowing halo on the left while the detective remains mostly in shadow, with rim light catching raindrops on the coat and hat. Use a cinematic wide landscape composition, monochrome only, no color, no captions, no speech bubbles, no watermark.
