Mark Kostabi style reference and prompts

This geometric graphic style builds forms from a few oversized angular facets with crisp joints and finely graded interiors. Brilliant amber and vermilion press against cobalt, navy, violet, silver-gray, and near-black, so color temperature divides the frame into opposing light and shadow zones. Hard triangular and vertical boundaries supply structure, while subtle stippled grain prevents the gradients from feeling sterile. Highlights appear as broad luminous planes rather than tiny gloss points; shadows are deep, clean masses with smooth tonal falloff at selected inner edges. The composition is tightly cropped and nearly frontal, relying on asymmetrical warm-cool balance more than perspective. Its overall effect is monumental, controlled, and dramatically graphic.

A square geometric illustration fills nearly the entire frame with a monumental stylized face assembled from hard-edged planes and smooth tonal gradients. Behind the face, only narrow wedges of violet, black, cobalt, and red remain visible at the left and lower right edges. A broad silver-gray forehead and angular nose bridge descend through the center, dividing warm amber light on the left from cool deep blue shadow on the right. Under heavy horizontal brows, the eyes are reduced to curved blue and gold slivers with dark pupils, giving the otherwise abstract form a steady, direct gaze. The left cheek becomes a large brilliant yellow-orange triangle that fades toward a pale cream edge. On the right, cobalt and navy planes sink into black, with one hot orange crescent near the eye. The central nose is an elongated white facet whose sharp vertical sides project forward. Below it, a slim dark mouth lies over a narrow vermilion and orange stripe. The chin is a smooth white-gray shape that rounds down into heavy blue-black shadow. At the lower left, a long metallic-looking vertical plane catches a soft silver highlight; at the lower right, a red triangular mass balances it. Every part of the head is simplified into a few large planes, yet fine speckled grain appears inside the smooth gradients, particularly in gray and blue areas. Light seems concentrated from the upper left and front, striking the amber cheek and nose while a profound shadow swallows the opposite side. The image has no surrounding setting and no readable text. The overall composition is frontal, close, and severe, using cool-warm opposition and precise geometric edges to turn a face into a graphic architecture of light.
