Photo to Sunlit Anime Character GPT Image 2 Prompt

Sunlit anime character transformation preserving the original portrait identity with warm outdoor lighting

Prompt

262 words

Using REFERENCE_0 as the base, transform the photo into a polished anime-style illustration while preserving the same overall pose, camera angle, white oversized shirt, shark plush being hugged, window-side indoor setting, and warm backlit mood. Replace the obscured face with a cute expressive anime face: soft blush, slightly shy eyes, and the hand still raised near the mouth. Keep the short black bob silhouette but make it glossy and stylized, with red-tinted hair tips and 3 visible hair accessories: 2 silver rectangular hair clips and 1 gray X-shaped pin. Render the scene with clean line art, detailed painterly shading, luminous sunlight, soft highlights on fabric, and a high-quality visual-novel/anime key art finish.

Add and clarify the room details that were only vague in the reference: a teal-green wall, a framed ocean-and-cloud picture on the wall, a wooden dresser on the right, a white vase with exactly 3 yellow flowers, and 1 small framed photo on the dresser. Add a few subtle floating dust motes/bubbles in the sunlight. Make the shark plush more cute and crisp, with a blue top, white belly, black eye, gill marks, fin, tail, and open mouth with triangular teeth.

Customizable details: anime character with {argument name="eye color" default="red"}, {argument name="hair accent color" default="red"}, wearing {argument name="shirt style" default="oversized white button-up shirt"}, holding {argument name="plush toy" default="blue shark plush"}, in a {argument name="background mood" default="warm sunlit bedroom by a window"}.

Constraints: do not crop out the plush, keep the composition vertical, keep the pose and outfit close to the reference, avoid photorealism, avoid extra characters, avoid text or watermarks.
