The Prompt
{
"prompt": "Use the uploaded image strictly as an identity reference. Transform it into a soft storybook-style illustration with smooth graphite-and-pencil linework, rounded shapes, and gentle hand-drawn imperfections. Apply airy pastel colors with a watercolor-pencil blend effect, subtle gradients, and light bloom highlights. Keep colors fresh and lively while remaining natural. Add delicate cross-hatching for shadows and a paper-grain texture. Facial features are simplified and cute: rounded faces, tiny dot eyes, short curved eyebrows, and a calm closed-mouth smile. Overall look should feel cozy, nostalgic, and whimsical, like a children’s picture book illustration.",
