"Create an ultra-detailed, lifelike portrait of an Illusionist Faceless Mage in a laboratory setting, with a theme of 'Contagion of Madness'. The Mage should be in a t-pose, squatting down with a smoking pipe in hand and an apple in the other. Aim for a golden ratio composition, with intricate details, high face symmetry, and a decorative background inspired by European and Japanese motifs. The style should resemble works by Greg Rutkowski, Alfonse Mucha, and James Gurney. Present the final piece in 8K resolution with pleasant lighting and subtle chromatic aberration effects."
