Your prompt

A detailed woodcut engraving print of {{subject}} rendered in the style of traditional relief printing with bold black ink on {{paper-type}} paper. The image is composed entirely of carved line work including parallel hatching, cross-hatching, and stippled dots that build up tonal values from pure white to dense black without any continuous tone gradients. Thicker lines define the major contours and structural forms while progressively finer lines create midtones and subtle shading. The darkest shadow areas use tightly packed cross-hatched lines that merge into near-solid black. Highlights are created by the absence of lines allowing the paper to show through. The composition has a {{framing}} arrangement with the subject filling the block confidently. Fine details in textures like fabric, bark, stone, and metal are conveyed through varied line direction and density. Minor imperfections include slightly uneven ink coverage, hairline registration artifacts, and the faint impression of wood grain texture transferred to the print. Antique printmaking quality, traditional engraving, woodblock aesthetic. Aspect ratio: {{aspect-ratio}}.
