The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the highlighted part of the prompt changes.

Prompt

A flat illustrated night scene: a man in a white shirt and pale hat playing an amber guitar at a bar counter, bottles and glasses along it, two pendant lamps above. Everything built from flat shapes with no gradients, cold deep blue ambient light against one warm pool from the lamps, shadows as solid shapes. Any faces simplified to a nose line and a jaw, five colours total, cinematic wide framing.
