Create:
1. A finished avatar prompt optimized for a square image and circular crop.
2. Three controlled variations that change only background, lighting, or representation.
3. A consistency note for keeping facial traits, palette, crop, and accessories stable.
4. A negative prompt for distorted features, busy scenery, cropped head, tiny face, text, logos, and watermarks.
5. Notes on silhouette, eye focus, thumbnail contrast, safe crop, and source-image privacy.
6. A consent check before using any real person's likeness.

Do not infer sensitive traits from an image or recreate a public figure.
