Star Map Cartographer Cloud City

Use the uploaded image strictly for face and identity reference — preserve exact facial features, hairstyle, skin tone, and proportions without any modification. Create a super ultra-HD 8K hyper-realistic high fantasy portrait of a royal star-map cartographer standing at an enormous drafting table on the open terrace of a cloud city — a civilization of marble towers and hanging gardens built on the backs of continent-sized cloud formations above the world, so high that the curvature of the planet is visible at the horizon. He is mid-work: bent over a vast star map rolled open across the drafting table, one hand pressing the far corner flat against a warm wind, the other hand guiding an instrument — a brass parallel ruler — across a constellation he is newly charting. The map itself is a masterwork: parchment the color of old cream, inked in deep navy and gold, filled with constellation figures, coordinate grids, and marginal illustrations of mythological creatures at the map's edges. Where he is currently working, the ink is still wet — a deep navy blue that has not fully settled into the parchment fibers. The cloud city around him: white marble colonnaded buildings with blue-tiled roofs, interconnected by open walkways and rope bridges over the cloud surface. The cloud itself — the foundation of the city — is not soft and insubstantial but has the compressed density of a glacier, its surface walkable, its upper face textured like packed snow at the edge of the terrace where it has not been built on. Through gaps in the cloud foundation, the green-blue surface of the world is visible far below, its forests and oceans identifiable at this altitude. The sky at this height: deep indigo even in daytime, stars visible at the zenith despite the sun being present at the horizon — the specific sky of extreme altitude where atmosphere thins enough that stars don't wash out. Every constellation figure pen-stroke on the map, every cloud surface texture grain, every marble column flute — microscopic sharp detail. 85mm portrait lens, f/1.8 aperture, ultra-shallow depth of field, DSLR quality, photorealistic parchment and skin texture, high-altitude indigo and gold fantasy color grading. Aspect ratio 4:5.
