Prompt

A risograph style portrait of a masked wrestler in a red and teal mask, printed in three grainy spot inks of vermilion, teal and cream on off white stock. Tone built from coarse grain and halftone rather than smooth gradient, ink sitting unevenly with small skips, slight misregistration between the inks. Tight heroic crop with the subject looking just past the camera, plain background, no photographic detail beyond what the inks can carry.
