## CARTOON SELFIE PROMPT # 1. YOUR SELFIE SETUP - **YOUR_OUTFIT**: [Describe your outfit, e.g., "a casual grey t-shirt and jeans"] **YOUR_EXPRESSION**: [Describe your expression, e.g., "a big warm smile"] - **ENVIRONMENT**: [Describe the background, e.g., "a bright sunny outdoor park"] - **LIGHTING**: [Describe the lighting, e.g., "warm golden hour sunlight"] # 2. YOUR CARTOON FRIENDS - **CHARACTERS**: [List the characters, e.g., "Donald Duck"] - **INTERACTION**: [Describe how they interact with you, e.g., "Donald has his arm around my shoulder, grinning at the camera"] # --- AI INSTRUCTIONS (COPY AND PASTE EVERYTHING BELOW) --- **TASK**: Create a photorealistic, 9:16 aspect ratio, first-person selfie of the person from the REFERENCE_IMAGE interacting with the specified CHARACTERS. The image must look like it was captured using the front camera of a smartphone in selfie mode. **IDENTITY LOCK**: The person in the image must be an identical, photorealistic match to the uploaded REFERENCE_IMAGE. Preserve the exact facial structure, skin tone, hairstyle, and expression. The person must wear the YOUR_OUTFIT described above. This is non-negotiable. **SELFIE CAMERA RULES**: The perspective must be a chest-up selfie taken with a front smartphone camera, creating a slight wide-angle distortion. The person should appear to be holding the phone just out of frame, with one arm slightly extended. The phone itself must not be visible. **CHARACTER STYLE**: The CHARACTERS must be rendered in their classic 2D cel-shaded cartoon style. They must remain faithful to their original design with bold contour outlines and cartoon proportions. They must NOT look photorealistic, 3D-rendered, or like live-action characters. They must clearly appear as animated characters placed into a real, photorealistic environment. **COMPOSITION**: The person and characters must be positioned very close together in a casual, natural selfie pose. The INTERACTION described above should guide their poses. The scene must be lit by the specified LIGHTING and take place in the described ENVIRONMENT. **FINAL OUTPUT**: The final image must be a seamless blend of a photorealistic human and stylized cartoon characters, viewed through an authentic selfie perspective with cinematic lighting. 4K high detail.
