Pixel style prompt

Transform this photo into pixel art portrait style, preserving the same person, pose, 
outfit, and background exactly as shown in the original image.

Pixel art style details:
- Medium-density pixel grid (clearly visible pixel blocks, not ultra-fine, not chunky 8-bit retro)
- Smooth painterly gradient shading within each pixel block area, soft color transitions 
  rather than flat/banded colors
- Semi-realistic, slightly stylized facial features with soft anime-influenced proportions — 
  large expressive eyes, defined soft lips, smooth shaded skin with warm undertones
- Hair rendered in thick pixelated strands but keeping natural flow and volume, with 
  visible light and shadow blocks
- Soft directional studio lighting with gentle highlights on skin and fabric, subtle 
  ambient shadows for depth
- Clothing and fabric folds shown with shaded pixel blocks, not flat color fills
- Plain soft-toned background, slightly desaturated, with soft shadow beneath the subject
- No hard black outlines around the figure — shading and color blocks define the form instead
- Overall feel: high-quality digital pixel illustration, like a polished pixel-art 
  character portrait, not a low-res retro game sprite

Keep everything else (pose, outfit, accessories, setting) identical to the uploaded photo — 
only change the rendering style to this pixel art look.
