Two-dimensional alternative character illustration of [CHARACTER], occupying approximately seventy-five percent of the frame in [POSE], with [HAIR] and [EXPRESSION]. Oversized rounded cranium, a short flattened lower face, a narrow jaw, a long thin neck, slightly oversized ears, huge pale oval eyes with tiny off-center pupils, extremely thick horizontal black eyebrows, heavy black upper eyelids, muted mauve under-eye rings, a tiny broad triangular nose, and a wide asymmetrical grin showing individually drawn irregular rectangular teeth, one clearly missing upper tooth, one chipped tooth and deep black gaps. Dress the character in [CLOTHING], simplified into broad graphic shapes with chunky seams, minimal folds and small hand-drawn accessories. Confident black ink contours using thick outer silhouettes, medium-weight facial lines, thin angular hair strands and only a few short scratch marks around the eyes, hair and clothing seams; use flat opaque color fields, one hard-edged cel-shadow shape per form, sparse pencil hatching, subtle ink wobble, slight color misregistration and restrained worn-paper texture. Controlled [COLORS] palette, keeping every color clearly separated and moderately saturated. Place the character against [BACKGROUND], reduced to large flat shapes, a few loosely drawn environmental details and oversized rough hand-painted lettering reading “[TEXT]”; use an off-center waist-up composition, a slight camera tilt, cropped background typography, loose poster margins and lightly weathered printed edges. 4:5 AR.
An alternative cartoon character illustration prompt template reminiscent of indie comic and virtual band aesthetics. Features bold ink outlines, stylized gritty facial expressions, flat colors, and weathered poster textures, ideal for punk art and music poster designs.

Create a refined vertical art poster that transforms a natural landscape into a flowing topographic world.
Build the terrain from hundreds of long, smooth, continuous contour lines that follow the shape, depth, and movement of the land. The lines should feel like a fusion of topographic maps, silk threads, and abstract Chinese landscape painting — directional, elegant, and highly organized rather than random decorative waves.
Use one strong visual path, such as a river, valley, ridge, cloud road, or negative-space corridor, to guide the eye from foreground to distance.
Keep the natural environment monumental and place only one or two extremely small human figures, boats, or architectural elements as scale anchors.
Use clear spatial hierarchy:
dense flowing lines in the main terrain,
calmer negative space around the visual path,
simpler and softer details in the distance.
Control the palette with 2–4 dominant colors rather than evenly distributed rainbow tones. Use large, clean color fields and let color changes reinforce depth and movement.
Add minimal editorial typography:

[SUBTITLE]
[SHORT POETIC LINE]
Typography should feel like a contemporary exhibition poster or art-book cover — elegant, widely spaced, restrained, and secondary to the landscape.
The final image should feel poetic, monumental, calm, and highly designed, combining Eastern landscape aesthetics, contour-line abstraction, negative space, and modern editorial composition.
SOURCE & OUTPUT
Use each uploaded photo as the sole visual reference. Create one independent, high-end editorial poster per photo and output each separately. Never combine images or create a collage.
FORMAT & LAYOUT
Use a strict vertical 3:4 composition divided into two exactly equal horizontal halves (50/50).
UPPER HALF — ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPH
Preserve the original photograph faithfully, including the subject’s identity, facial features, structure, pose, proportions, natural texture, lighting, and color atmosphere. Apply only subtle premium editorial color grading for an art-magazine or exhibition-photography aesthetic. If necessary, extend only the surrounding background naturally to fit the frame. Never distort, replace, or redesign the subject.
LOWER HALF — PASTEL CRAYON MEMORY
Reinterpret the photograph as a minimalist, retro paper-texture pastel crayon doodle. Identify the scene’s most memorable subject, pose, relationships, direction, emotional tone, and visual essence. Reconstruct only these defining elements rather than copying every object or illustrating the entire scene.
Use thick, loose, grainy, hand-drawn chalk-and-crayon outlines with dry pigment texture, subtle breaks, faded patches, imperfect edges, slight hand wobble, and naturally rounded stroke endings. Add only a few simple pastel color blocks, stripes, dots, or scribbles to suggest essential details. Avoid realistic volume, detailed rendering, and excessive shading.
COMPOSITION & NEGATIVE SPACE
Keep the illustration small and visually balanced within the lower half, surrounded by generous empty space. Position the subject naturally according to the original photograph, allowing asymmetry, off-center placement, suspended elements, or partial cropping where appropriate.
Include only a few tiny environmental clues or abstract doodles, drawn in the same rough, simplified crayon style. Keep them minimal, imperfect, and contour-based. Prioritize breathing room, scale contrast, visual rhythm, and intentional emptiness. Never overcrowd the composition.
BACKGROUND & COLOR PALETTE
Use a bright, near-white paper background: ivory, cream white, pale off-white, soft apricot white, or very light gray-white. Add only subtle paper fibers and fine grain. Keep the background clean, bright, and clearly lighter than the illustration. Avoid dirty gray, dark yellow, or aged brown paper.
Extract 2–4 defining colors from the original photograph and reinterpret them as fresh, soft pastel crayon tones, such as peach pink, apricot orange, cream yellow, mint green, sky blue, or pale lavender. Use sufficiently distinct coral, blue, blue-green, warm orange, or violet outlines for clear contrast. Maintain a gentle, playful, emotionally warm, and refined palette.
OPTIONAL TEXT
Add only a tiny handwritten note if it genuinely enhances the composition. Keep it sparse, legible, secondary, and unobtrusive. Never use decorative text as filler.
FINAL AESTHETIC
Create a sophisticated editorial poster combining authentic photography above with a reduced, recognizable, hand-drawn memory of the same scene below. The illustration should feel airy, naive without being childish, playful without looking cheap, and minimal without losing the photograph’s identity or emotional meaning. Emphasize expressive linework, selective color, paper texture, asymmetry, and negative space.

Create a refined vertical art poster that transforms the landscape into an abstract **contour-line world**.
Build the terrain primarily from long, smooth, continuous lines that follow its volume, direction, elevation, and movement.
The lines should become the landscape itself, not simply decorate its surface.
Use one clear structural system and strong line-density variation, with dense lines around major forms and more breathing room in calmer areas.
Use 2–5 related colors and let the colors flow naturally along the contour structure.
Keep the landscape monumental and use only one tiny scale anchor.
Add minimal editorial typography:

[SHORT POETIC LINE]
High-end exhibition-poster aesthetic, abstract Eastern landscape feeling, strong thumbnail readability, large graphic forms, controlled negative space, and highly visible contour-line structure.
