View full prompt & copy

Create a humorous traditional Japanese ink-and-wash calligraphy poster on aged parchment paper. The composition is a wide horizontal ukiyo-e/sumi-e style artwork with a warm beige, stained washi texture background, black brush ink, muted red seals, and subtle gray mountain washes. On the left foreground, show a bald laughing monk in dark robes sitting on the ground, holding a large calligraphy brush raised high in his right hand and steadying a long blank scroll that curls across the bottom. Beside him sits one fluffy white cat with closed eyes and a content smile. Behind them, paint a bonsai-like pine tree, a large muted red sun, distant Mount Fuji, misty clouds, rocky hills, and small pagoda silhouettes at the far right. Fill the upper and central area with many vertical columns of playful handwritten Japanese-style kana calligraphy, imperfect and organic like wet brush strokes, evoking a silly chant rather than readable formal prose. Include exactly one tall red-outlined title seal at the upper right containing large black kanji text 寿限無. Add exactly three small red square artist seals: one beneath the title seal, one near a small vertical inscription on the right, and one beside the monk’s signature at lower left. Include exactly two small side inscriptions: at lower left, vertical black text 長命万歳; at mid-right, a small vertical proverb-like note 名は長くとも 人の縁は短し だからこそ大切に. The main calligraphy should be arranged in about eleven vertical columns from right to left, using the default chant text じゅげむ じゅげむ ごこうのすりきれ かいじゃりすいぎょの すいぎょうまつ うんらいまつ ふうらいまつ ところにすむところ やぶらこうじの ぶらこうじ ぱいぽぱいぽ しゅーりんがん ぐーりんだいの ぽんぽこぴーの ぽんぽこなーの ちょうきゅうめいのちょうすけ. Make the brushwork expressive, slightly uneven, and intentionally imperfect; preserve ample negative space around the calligraphy; no modern typography, no digital UI, no English text, no photorealism.

Transform the person in the reference photo into a high-detail, high-end stylized illustration portrait consistent with the visual style of the target artwork. Important—Identity: Retain recognizable facial features from the uploaded reference photo: face shape, eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, skin tone, facial proportions, and overall similarity. The final result must clearly resemble the person in the uploaded photo. Art Style: Create an exquisite vintage editorial style illustration with intricate hand-drawn engraving, comic, or copperplate texture. Use: - Extremely fine black ink lines - Dense cross-hatching and stippling - Copperplate illustration texture - Layered colored ink coloring - Rich copper/red tones in the hair - Ornate decorative details - Elegant vintage poster style - High-detail facial rendering - Artistic but recognizable facial features Portrait: A centered close-up portrait of the person, framed approximately from the chest/shoulders up. Give the person a confident, composed, and sophisticated expression. Add oversized circular sunglasses with ornate gold frames and bright magenta/pink lenses, echoing the signature look of the reference artwork. The hair should be beautifully drawn with detailed flowing strands and decorative carved curves, while still based on the hairstyle and appearance of the person in the uploaded reference photo. Clothing: Dress the person in elaborate and ornate vintage clothing with rich teal, deep magenta, blue, and gold decorative embroidery, complex floral patterns, filigree designs, and jewel-like decorative details. Background: A dark black/deep charcoal grey decorative damask background, filled with fine swirling floral and decorative patterns presented in subtle black, grey, and matte gold tones. Composition: A symmetrical centered portrait. Head and shoulders occupy the main body of the frame. A strong flat poster-style composition. The entire frame is covered with high-detail illustration. Do not include small reference photo thumbnails. Text: Typeset the person's full name in oversized bold capital letters above the background, partially placed behind the head. The name must be automatically generated based on the provided person/reference. If the person's name cannot be determined, leave it blank; do not invent a name. Do not add irrelevant text, logos, watermarks, or random text. Final Effect: The final image should look like a professionally designed luxury vintage illustration poster—not a photo, nor a simple cartoon. Combine the recognizable facial identity from the uploaded reference photo with the overall visual language of the provided examples: ornate vintage engraving, colored ink illustration, dramatic oversized sunglasses, elaborate clothing, dark decorative background, bold name typography, and high-detail hand-drawn textures. Do not copy the original person from the example. Use the uploaded reference photo to create a new character under the same artistic concept and visual style.

Child Drawing to Anime Storybook World
View full prompt & copy

Goal: Using REFERENCE_0 as the main composition and child-drawing concept, transform it into a polished commercial-quality children’s anime illustration while preserving the original imaginative layout: a smiling girl holding a giant grassy hill like an umbrella, with a tiny world on top. Use REFERENCE_1 only as context for the warm, innocent childlike imagination, but do not include its title text or its separate family figures. Transformation: Clean up the rough marker/crayon lines into soft watercolor-and-anime rendering, improve proportions, add depth, shading, and charming details, while keeping the handmade storybook feeling. Make the girl cuter and more expressive, with large anime eyes, neat black pigtails, a pink dress with a green heart, and purple curved umbrella handles in both hands. Preserve and refine these visible elements from REFERENCE_0: exactly 3 blue clouds, 1 orange sun in the upper-right corner, 1 grassy dome hill, 1 small house on top of the hill, 1 leaning tree on the left side of the hill, 1 small pond on the right side of the hill containing exactly 2 fish, 1 tiny child figure sliding or peeking from the right edge of the hill, scattered grass tufts and small purple flowers, and the girl underneath holding the hill. Style: bright pastel children’s-book anime, soft cream paper background, clean outlines, painterly watercolor texture, warm sunlight, cheerful whimsical mood, vertical portrait composition. Keep the composition close to the reference drawing, but make it look like finished professional illustration art. Optional customization: make the main subject a smiling little girl; use pink; keep the heart on the dress green; render in soft watercolor anime children’s-book style; use a warm cream paper background. Constraints: no Chinese title text, no extra characters from REFERENCE_1, no realistic photo style, no watermark, no added text.
