hyper-realistic photograph of an artist meticulously sculpting their own slightly smaller-than-life bust. The bust, a flawless hyper-detailed replica, must have a 100% perfect and indistinguishable facial likeness to its creator. Every feature—facial contours, subtle eye expression, exact skin tone and texture—is mirrored with absolute, pore-level precision. The bust's clothing identically replicates the artist's attire, matching fabric and folds perfectly. Using sculpting tools, the artist applies final, delicate touches, bringing the material to uncanny life. The scene is a dark, atmospheric artist's studio with dramatic Rembrandt lighting. A single, strong light source creates powerful light-shadow contrast, illuminating the intense creator-creation connection, leaving the room in deep, contemplative darkness. Maintain a hyper-realistic, cinematic, and painterly quality.
