Image prompt
2,589 charactersBased on the real photo uploaded by the user, do a re-creation that turns the people in the photo into a Japanese high-energy shonen manga style / urban street anime character poster. Preserve each person's real identity features, including face shape, facial proportions, hairstyle basis, skin tone, sense of age, body-type relationship, and overall vibe. Create a brand-new full-body anime illustration with everyone fully in frame, clearly visible from head to toe. Style reference: Japanese shonen manga color pages, urban street anime poster, clean and strong black line art, distinctly anime-fied features, sharp layered hair strands, clear clothing folds, a slight pencil-rough feel, partial watercolor or marker coloring, low-saturation tones, paper texture. Freely design Tokyo street fashion outfits for the characters — young, relaxed, cool, and realistically wearable. You may use oversized jackets, cropped tops, loose T-shirts, cargo pants, wide-leg pants, pleated skirts, canvas sneakers, thick-soled shoes, shoulder bags, headphones, necklaces, phones, coffee cups, etc. In multi-person scenes, outfits should echo each other in color or accessories but not be identical. Freely design more poster-like placements and poses, not an ordinary side-by-side group photo. It could be one in front and one behind, back-to-back, a walking candid, leaning on a wall, one sitting on steps and one standing in an offset arrangement, one looking at the camera and one looking to the side, one walking ahead and one looking back — overall it should have character relationships and a paneling feel. Based on the characters' vibe, number of people, poses, and outfits, freely create a Japanese urban manga scene. It could be a Tokyo street alley, a convenience store entrance, a subway exit, the foot of an old apartment building, a school rooftop, street stairs, in front of a retro shop window, beside a vending machine, outside a café, under a streetlight at night, a street after rain, under a city overpass, an old poster wall, a comic-style city block, etc. The background may include line art, spray paint, graffiti, old posters, house numbers, street stickers, handwritten text, ink drips, arrows, stars, crowns, small expressions, brick walls, steps, glass windows, street signs, vending machines, railings, power lines, streetlights, etc. The background should have spatial layering and a sense of everyday life. Overall mood: Japanese shonen manga, urban street, youth, relaxation, coolness, slight rebellion, fashion-magazine illustration feel, comic color-page feel.
How to use it
This prompt needs an uploaded photo of one or more people, since it rebuilds their faces and proportions. It was shared as a GPT Image 2 prompt. Swap the setting for a convenience store front, a rooftop, or a retro shop window to change the mood, and keep the line-art and paper-texture wording so the anime-manga finish holds. Print the result as a poster or use it as a profile illustration.
