The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the prompt updates.
A portrait posterised into flat bands of acid colour that follow the contours of the face like a thermal camera image. Each band a solid unmodulated colour with hard edges between them, running through lime green, magenta, orange and electric blue with no relation to natural skin tone. Features readable only through the banding, flat background in the same palette, no gradients anywhere.
