Another approach
Restyle my seated portrait with fine manga-style linework and selective solid blacks. Keep the pose, clothing, and facial proportions recognizable, leave the background simple, and add no text.
Finishing the result
This creates a still image in a manga-inspired style. Panel layout, speech balloons, exact typography, and consistent follow-up drawings require separate work.
