"A 2D cartoon illustration of a quirky and grumpy character named Houshang, designed in a comic book style with a hand-drawn, painterly look. Houshang is a 40-year-old man with a thick, well-groomed black mustache and round sunglasses, giving him a unique and slightly mysterious vibe. He has short, slightly wavy gray hair and wears a casual outfit with a modern twist: a blazer with a subtle Persian paisley pattern (boteh jegheh) over a plain shirt, paired with jeans. The style is colorful and bold, with clean lines and a painterly texture that mimics traditional comic illustrations. The character is depicted from the chest up, showing various facial expressions: Grumpy with furrowed brows. Playful smirk. Surprised with wide-open eyes. Thoughtful with a hand on his chin. The overall design should feel vibrant, engaging, and expressive, suitable for a comic or graphic novel. Flat colors with soft shading, no background.
