Painting Portrait featuring Ming Dynasty - Minimalist

The prompt

Copy it.
Then make it yours.

Tried a new style: gongbi line drawing + modern vector flat coloring. 

Retained 55% large areas of negative space, pursuing that "refined and elegant" Ming Dynasty aesthetic. The focus is on removing the greasy feel of thick painting and light-shadow effects, using extremely restrained two-level brightness shadows to express volume.
The effect turned out surprisingly clear and translucent!

Prompt (remember to replace the [character] and [animal] at the bottom) 

3:4 vertical composition. The upper part of the image retains about 55% large areas of negative space; the main subject is a half-body portrait of [character], placed in the lower-middle of the image, with a proper shoulder line and subtle posture, slightly turning the body to look back. Keep the original character features of [character] unchanged (face shape, hairstyle structure, bangs shape, facial features proportions, and temperament unchanged), only changing to the new technique and attire settings specified in this prompt.

Attire settings: Ming-style stand-collar short jacket and square-collar overcoat, with narrow fine edging on the garment edges; lower garment only shows the upper section of a plain horse-face skirt. Hairstyle settings: Under the premise of not changing the original hairstyle structure and length of [character], style it with a Ming Dynasty aesthetic, with simple and clean hairpins and ornaments, minimal gilding just for accents.

New technique depiction: Facial features and garment textures outlined with fine gongbi-level lines, lines clear with variations in thickness; skin tones and garment folds shaped with gongbi "thin dyeing and layered dyeing," but the overall image uses modern vector's zoned flat coloring and extremely restrained two-level brightness shadows; edges clean and sharp, no noise, no thick painting.

Accent elements: Only a single branch of flower and bird extending diagonally from the upper right into the negative space. Sparse plum branches rendered with dry brush line texture, a few pale pink plum blossoms; on the plum tip perches one [animal], with a quiet and refined posture. The flower and bird details also use gongbi line drawing, but with vectorized color areas, fresh and restrained.

Background is a warm, silk/paper-like light texture, with the negative space carrying a faint grayish-blue airy feel. Overall aesthetic: refined, elegant, pure, and restrained.

Avoid: Large areas of ink wash diffusion, photographic depth-of-field blur, 3D rendering highlights, thick black comic lines, neon high saturation, complex guochao patterns overcrowding, exaggerated decorations overpowering the main subject.
Output: High-definition details, clean lines, strictly adhere to negative space proportions.
