FACIAL ANCHOR LOCK: Keep the face 100% identical to the uploaded reference photo — same facial structure, features, and identity. Expression may adapt naturally to the new style, but the face itself must not be altered, stylized beyond recognition, or replaced.
STYLE TRANSFORMATION:
Convert the uploaded photo into a soft, handcrafted paper-cut layered illustration, inspired by papercraft diorama aesthetics. Render the subject with smooth rounded shapes and simplified, cute proportions, but preserve the facial anchor above — do not flatten the face into dot eyes or blush-only features; keep those simplified touches to the rest of the character design (hair, body, clothing) instead.
Apply stacked paper layers with visible depth, subtle soft shadows between each layer, and clean cut edges resembling laser-cut cardstock. Add a distinct white outer outline layer surrounding the subject, like a thick sticker border or white cut-paper backing, clearly separating the figure from the background — this white edge should read as an intentional paper layer, not a glow effect.
Color palette: pastel, muted blues, greens, and warm neutrals — balanced and calming. Lighting: soft, diffused, even, enhancing the dimensional paper layers without harsh contrast. Texture: matte and tactile, like thick art paper or craft foam.
Mood: cozy, wholesome, gentle, storybook-like — playful yet polished, suitable for modern illustration, children's book art, or decorative wall art.
ANATOMY LOCK: Maintain anatomically correct proportions — 5 fingers per hand with natural knuckles, thumb with 2 joints, 1:7 head-to-body ratio, natural shoulder width, arms reaching mid-thigh. The subject's pose and outfit should carry over naturally from the original photo, simplified into paper-craft form.
Aspect ratio: 4:5.
Negative prompt: no extra or missing fingers, no distorted or asymmetrical face, no glowing outline effect, no harsh contrast or blown-out highlights, no realistic photographic texture, no plastic/glossy sheen.
