Prompt

Act as an animation background painter and illustration art director who translates a hand painted, Ghibli inspired anime look into precise visual traits for a ChatGPT image prompt, without copying any existing character, film scene, or logo.

Inputs:
- Scene idea or what is in my uploaded photo: [SceneOrPhoto]
- Main character or subject, described by appearance and clothing: [MainSubject]
- Mood and time of day: [MoodAndLight]
- Setting details I want painted lovingly (food, plants, weather, small objects): [SettingDetails]
- Shape and use: wallpaper, avatar, print, or story panel: [ShapeAndUse]
- People in an uploaded photo and whether they agreed: [PeopleConsent]

Generate:
1. A style trait list of six to eight concrete visual traits for this hand painted anime look as they apply to this scene: background painting texture, line weight, cel shading on characters, sky and cloud treatment, color palette, and how light falls.
2. A composition plan for ShapeAndUse: camera height, where MainSubject sits in the frame, foreground, midground, and background layers, and where the eye lands first.
3. The full ChatGPT image prompt in plain sentences: style traits, MainSubject, SettingDetails, MoodAndLight, composition, and a closing line of things to avoid (text, logos, existing characters, photo realism).
4. If a photo is uploaded: a keep line naming what must stay recognizable (face shape, hairstyle, clothing colors, pet markings), and confirmation from PeopleConsent before use.
5. Three variations: a different time of day, a weather change, and a closer framing, each written as a one sentence follow up.
6. A fix list for common misses: too glossy or 3D, too much line detail, flat sky, washed out colors, each with the follow up sentence to send.

Rules:
- Describe the look through visual traits. Do not ask for a specific film, character, or studio logo.
- Keep the subject's features and skin tone true to the description or photo.
- No text or signatures in the image.

Instructions

Replace every [bracket] with your scene or photo details, then paste the finished prompt into ChatGPT, uploading a photo first if you are restyling one. Use photos only of people who agreed. This is style inspiration only: do not recreate existing characters or film scenes.

Examples

Example Input

SceneOrPhoto: Photo of my grandmother in her small backyard garden, kneeling by tomato plants with a straw basket, wooden fence and a laundry line behind her.
MainSubject: Older woman with short gray curly hair, round glasses, a faded blue apron over a yellow cardigan, gardening gloves.
MoodAndLight: Late summer afternoon, warm golden light, a gentle breeze, peaceful.
SettingDetails: ripe red tomatoes, basil, sunflowers along the fence, a white sheet moving on the line, a sleeping orange cat on the step.
ShapeAndUse: landscape 3:2 print for her birthday
PeopleConsent: My grandmother loves the idea and agreed.

Example Output

1. STYLE TRAITS FOR THIS SCENE
- Background painted like gouache and watercolor: visible soft brush texture in the fence, leaves, and sky.
- Thin, gentle line work on the grandmother and cat only; backgrounds have almost no outlines.
- Simple two tone cel shading on her cardigan and apron, with a soft warm rim light.
- Tall, rounded cumulus clouds with lit edges in a clear late summer sky.
- Palette: sun warmed greens, tomato red, sunflower yellow, faded denim blue, cream highlights.
- Light falling at a low angle through leaves, dappling the ground and the basket.
- Small details painted with care: tomato skins catching light, the sheet rippling.

2. COMPOSITION
Camera at kneeling height, slightly to her left. She sits on the left third, turned toward the tomatoes. Foreground: basil and basket edge. Midground: grandmother and plants. Background: fence, sunflowers, the white sheet, clouds. The eye lands on her face and hands, then follows the light to the sheet.

3. CHATGPT PROMPT
Using the uploaded photo, create a hand painted anime style illustration of an older woman with short gray curly hair, round glasses, a faded blue apron over a yellow cardigan, and gardening gloves, kneeling by ripe tomato plants with a straw basket in her small backyard garden. Paint the background with soft gouache and watercolor brush texture and almost no outlines; use thin, gentle lines and simple two tone cel shading on her and on a sleeping orange cat on the back step. Late summer afternoon, warm golden light at a low angle through the leaves, dappled shadows, tall rounded clouds with glowing edges. Sunflowers line the wooden fence, a white sheet ripples on the laundry line in a gentle breeze, basil in the foreground. Landscape 3:2, camera at kneeling height, her on the left third. Peaceful and warm. No text, no signatures, no logos, no existing characters, not photorealistic, not glossy 3D.

4. KEEP LINE
Keep her face shape, round glasses, curly gray hair, and the blue and yellow clothing recognizable from the photo. Consent confirmed.

5. VARIATIONS
- Make it early morning with cool mist and dew on the tomatoes.
- Add a light summer rain shower with sunlight still breaking through.
- Move in closer: her hands holding a just picked tomato, garden softly behind.

6. FIX LIST
- Too glossy or 3D: Make it look flat and hand painted, like a background painting with brush texture.
- Too much line detail: Remove outlines from the background and keep lines only on the characters.
- Flat sky: Add tall rounded clouds with warm lit edges.
- Washed out colors: Make the greens and tomato reds richer while keeping the soft painted look.
