A portrait drawn like an engineering blueprint
A blueprint is white line on cyan paper, with dimension arrows, grid marks and tiny notes in the corners. Put a face in the middle and it becomes a gift that every engineer, architect and tinkerer understands. Send a portrait, and the bot draws you as if you were the next machine to build.

Make it in TelegramLines instead of light
A blueprint has no shading in the usual sense. Faces become outlines, with hatch lines for depth. Ask for 'thin precise white lines, no fill' to keep the chart-like feel. If the portrait gets too busy, rerun with 'fewer measurement marks, more space around the head'. Contour-rich photos, like a profile with glasses, translate best. Keep the final file large so thin white lines stay crisp when you print.
Make it a gag gift
A title block in the corner is a good place for a joke, such as the job, the project name and the revision number. Add those words in a layout tool, because AI lettering can come out garbled. A frame with a simple black edge completes the effect. For a team, make one blueprint per person and hang the set in the office hall. Everyone will find their own first.
Tips
- Ask for a cyan or navy paper color.
- Request a title block and add the text yourself.
- Pick a photo with clear contour lines.
- Print on blue-toned paper or use a screen wallpaper.
