While completely preserving the character from the original image, reconstruct the scene as a "pop-up storybook where, the instant the book is opened, that child's world springs out three-dimensionally." The face, eyes, hairstyle, outfit, color scheme, expression, atmosphere, and the character's unique charm must never be altered. Turning them into a different person is forbidden. The character appears as the storybook's protagonist, rising large as a three-dimensional piece from the center of the open spread. It must not be "merely an illustration placed on top of a book," but expressed as a genuine three-dimensional pop-up book. Above the open spread, houses, forest, flowers, sky, clouds, stars, paths, trees, furniture, small objects, and background motifs are layered in many tiers as paper pieces, floating several millimeters to centimeters. Carefully depict the three-dimensional structure characteristic of pop-up books: paper creases, cuts, insertion tabs, paper thickness, cross-sections, shadows, depth, and slight warping. Important: the book's worldview, background, motifs, colors, the story content within the pages, decorations, title, headings, and body-text-style text should change naturally each time to match the impression received from the original AI illustration. For example, if the atmosphere feels like a forest, a forest story; if it feels like the sea, a sea story; if the impression is of night or a starry sky, a story of stars and the moon; if of flowers or spring, a flower story — always compose "a book just for that child" suited to the character. Do not fix the background or page content. Make a different story begin each time. Within the book, naturally place a cover title, chapter titles, short body-text-style passages, headings, and decorative lettering, making it look like "a book that truly exists." Auto-generate the content by reading the mood of the original image, as a gentle fairy-tale-like, fantastical, mysterious, and warm story. Character name: Nozomu Reflect this name naturally on the book's cover, title, headings, body text, nameplates, and so on. Examples: "The Story of ○○," "Welcome to ○○'s World," "○○ and the Forest of Falling Stars," "○○'s Little Adventure," etc. The worldview is a warm fantasy picture-book style with a hand-drawn feel. Gentle and nostalgic, with a slightly mysterious atmosphere. Finish it with soft light, warm colors, a kind fairy-tale-like world, and backgrounds that evoke nature. The composition is from a diagonal overhead angle where the entire open book is clearly visible, or from a slightly more frontal viewpoint. Show the character large as the protagonist while making it instantly clear that the world springs out from the page. Don't leave the background merely too white; add a soft spatial staging on a desk and make it beautiful as a finished single illustration. Restrain overly complex textures and finish in a smooth, beautiful, anime-leaning style. Make the outlines somewhat distinct, showing the silhouette nicely. Prioritize cuteness, narrative quality, a special feeling that makes you want to keep it, and the charm of feeling it is "a one-of-a-kind book just for my child."

How to use it

This prompt needs an uploaded picture of your character, since the face, outfit and colours must be kept exactly. It was shared as a GPT Image 2 prompt. Change the character name Nozomu to your own character's name so it appears on the cover and headings, and keep the phrases about layered paper pieces and creases so the pop-up depth still reads. The result works well as a cover image or a personalised gift print.
