Image prompt
Use the image I uploaded as the sole reference, and remake the scene into a gentle hand-drawn storybook illustration of a rainy night. Present each one separately. You must preserve the original subject's identity, facial features and aura, expression, pose, clothing silhouette, and the main subject relationships in the scene. Do not swap the face, do not change the sense of age, do not turn the person into a stranger. Only reshape the painting style, colors, lighting, background atmosphere, materials, and detail rendering. Style: a gentle hand-drawn storybook illustration with delicate linework, light watercolor bleeds, colored-pencil texture, paper grain, and a soft old-album texture. Not photographic, not 3D, but a quiet, delicate, story-like hand-drawn illustration. Atmosphere: render the scene as a quiet street corner on a rainy night or at dusk after rain. The air is humid, fine rain is falling, with visible rain streaks, mist, puddles on the ground, and soft reflections. The overall mood is gentle, quiet, and healing, like a page from an everyday picture book. Lighting: use warm yellow indoor or street light as the main emotional light source, with a cool rainy-night environment as the background. Warm light spills from windows, doorways, lanterns, shop windows, or interiors, softly lighting the subject's edges, water marks on the ground, and small surrounding objects. The light is soft, not harsh, not overexposed. Colors: low-saturation, refined retro tones. Choose one of these palettes for the main colors: 1. deep ink green, warm yellow, caramel brown, off-white, rainy-night gray; 2. misty blue-gray, cream yellow, dark brown, olive green, old-paper color; 3. warm coffee, dark red-brown, gray-green, light apricot, charcoal black; 4. rainy-night blue, amber yellow, wood brown, gray-white, moss green; 5. milk-tea color, smoky blue-gray, warm orange light, deep olive, old-book-page yellow. Background: if the original background is complex, simplify it into a quiet city street corner, a small shop's doorway, a windowside, a bookstore, a café, a flower shop, or a rainy-night alley atmosphere. The background may have wooden doors, glass windows, warm lights, plants, signs, steps, umbrellas, puddle reflections, and other everyday elements, but do not overcrowd it. Subject: keep the facial features of the original, but render them in a soft hand-drawn way. Summarize the eyes, nose, mouth, and hairstyle with clean fine lines, keeping a gentle expression. No excessive beautifying, no influencer face, no exaggerated big anime eyes. Natural proportions, quiet mood. Details: add fine rain, wet ground, faint reflections, paper texture, hand-drawn lines, slight grain, soft brushstrokes, little flowers, little plants, little animals, or everyday props. All details serve the atmosphere and must not steal the show. Composition: vertical 9:16. The subject is clear, with narrative feeling and negative space. The whole thing should look like a complete illustration work, not a random AI picture. Forbidden: do not change the original subject's identity; do not swap the face; no realistic photographic feel; no 3D rendering feel; no cyberpunk; no overly strong neon; no exaggerated big anime eyes; no cheap cartoon feel; no childish doodle feel; no overly vivid colors; no complex cluttered background; no real brand logos; no garbled text; no screen-filling text; no watermark, signature, or border; no obvious imitation of any specific artist or specific animation studio; do not directly copy the person, cat, bookstore, or umbrella composition from the reference image, unless the original itself already contains these elements.
