Make it in TelegramThe engraved look
Banknote artists shaded faces with parallel lines of changing width. The bot imitates that with dense hatching in shadows and thin lines in light. Heads with strong features, like glasses or a mustache, look especially good. If the lines vanish into gray, rerun with 'clearly visible line work, strong contrast'. A single ink color keeps the whole piece coherent. Try two or three reruns, because line density changes a lot between attempts.
Play money only
Keep this strictly in novelty territory. Real currency has strict laws about reproduction, so do not copy any actual banknote design, numbers or security patterns. Invent a country, a currency name and an amount for your joke. A funny denomination like 'one hundred hugs' fits the spirit. Frame it for a party table or laminate a handful for a game night.
Tips
- Pick one ink color such as green, brown or blue.
- Ask for no numbers and add them later.
- Choose a formal pose with clothing that has structure.
- Print on cream paper to feel the vintage mood.
