Prompt

A modernist character illustration assembled from flat geometric plates: a long triangle for a robe, rectangles for sleeves, a half circle for a beard, built in exactly four solid colours with no shading, no gradients and no outlines. Facial features reduced to two or three simple marks, shapes butting directly against each other, plain flat ground so the silhouette stays crisp. Bold, graphic, confident.
