Alex Ross Painted Photoreal Hero

Re-render this image as a comic book illustration in the manner of Alex Ross's painted work (Marvels 1994, Kingdom Come 1996, Justice 2005), executed in gouache and watercolor on illustration board with the visual feel of Norman Rockwell crossed with classical Renaissance portraiture applied to superhero or iconic subjects. Technique: full tonal range painting, no flat color, every surface modeled with light-to-shadow gradient, fabric folds rendered with subtle cast-shadow and ambient bounce-light, skin with sub-surface warmth and pore-level detail, hair as individual strands catching key light, metal surfaces with reflected-environment specular highlights. Composition: low-angle hero shot looking up at the subject from slightly below eye level, the camera-position dignifying the figure, often three-quarter pose with one hand on hip or extended in classical contrapposto, costume billowing slightly as if mid-stride or mid-arrest. Lighting: classical Rockwell-style window light or stage spotlight from upper left, warm key, cool ambient fill from the opposite side, distinct cast shadow on neck and under chin. Background: often softly rendered urban environment (skyscraper tops at dusk, statue-of-liberty silhouette, capitol dome, suburban small-town street) or a single-color painterly gradient that doesn't compete with the figure. Palette: rich and naturalistic, primary-hero colors (red, blue, yellow on costume) made plausible through painted shadow and reflected light rather than flat fill. Mood: dignified, mythic-but-human, the superhero rendered as if a Sargent portrait of an Edwardian statesman. Forbid: any flat-color cel rendering, any speech bubble or caption or sound effect text on canvas, any neon airbrush glow, any modern digital-illustration over-rendering, any watermark. Preserve the subject, pose, and composition of the source image exactly, change only the medium and rendering.
