Drinking my own tears of pain.

A hauntingly beautiful, hyper-realistic head and shoulders portrait in 8k resolution, showcasing a figure with an emotive, anguished expression. Tears cascade down their face, glistening with subtle iridescence, as they drink from the stream of their own pain. The scene is set against a dark, gradient background with polished metallic undertones, accentuating the subject's inner turmoil. Inspired by the dynamic lighting mastery of Greg Rutkowski, the subtle elegance of Artgerm, WLOP's attention to texture, and Alphonse Mucha's intricate Art Nouveau patterns, this portrait features striking, triadic colors that seem to shift and evolve as the lighting dances across the subject's face. With Unreal Engine 5-level volumetric lighting effects, every detail is rendered in exquisite, high-definition clarity, making this a truly breathtaking, splash art piece destined to trend on Artstation.
