Monochrome Man Holding Cat Portrait — AI Image Prompt

Create an ultra-realistic black-and-white surreal studio portrait of {argument name="character name" default="a 25-year-old man"} holding {argument name="cat type" default="a large fluffy long-haired tabby cat"} directly in front of his face. Vertical 3:4 composition, tight head-and-shoulders crop, dark smoky black background, dramatic low-key lighting, high contrast, cinematic monochrome photography, sharp hair texture and fur detail. The man has thick dark hair swept back neatly, visible ears, dark clothing blending into the background, and a serious frontal pose. The cat is centered and held upright against his chest, with its fluffy mane, striped front paws, nose, mouth, whiskers, and lower cheeks visible at the bottom of the composition. Add exactly 1 large opaque square overlay in the center of the image, colored {argument name="overlay color" default="medium neutral gray"}, covering most of the man's face and the upper half of the cat; the square should span from just below the hairline to just above the cat's mouth, leaving only the man's hair and ears visible above/around it and the cat's muzzle, whiskers, mane, and paws visible below it. Add exactly 1 small signature-style watermark in the lower-right corner reading {argument name="watermark text" default="PROMPT by: Mr. Tairy"} in thin elegant script. Keep the image photorealistic, moody, symmetrical, and editorial, with no color, no extra animals, no extra people, and no additional text.
