The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the prompt updates.
A technical anime style line study of a pilot in a hard shell helmet and suit, drawn entirely in fine ink line with dense panel detail, seams, vents and fasteners. No shading beyond a few solid black areas, the figure floating on white with thin schematic callout lines running off to small blocks of technical text in the margin. Half character drawing, half specification sheet.

- 2Callout lines and margin text are what make it a study rather than a portrait.
