Mini Me Prompt

Treat the uploaded image as a locked reference photograph.

The uploaded image is a real photograph and must remain completely unchanged.

Do NOT apply any illustration, drawing style, texture, or stylization to the original photo.

The subject, face, body, outfit, pose, lighting, and environment must remain fully photorealistic.

Only add a NEW cartoon character as a separate element.

If there is any conflict, preserve the realism of the original photo at all costs.

🎯 GOAL

Create a small cartoon “mini version” of the person and place it into the scene while keeping the original photograph completely unchanged.

The cartoon must match the subject’s outfit and overall vibe while using a soft, hand-drawn illustrated style.

📏 PROPORTION STYLE (CRITICAL)

• head slightly oversized (30–35% of total height)
• compact, simplified body
• short, rounded limbs
• soft, slightly exaggerated feet

🧠 CHARACTER MATCH

• same outfit, simplified accurately (colors, shapes, patterns like stripes)
• recognizable hairstyle silhouette
• same general vibe and attitude as subject

The identity should come primarily from outfit and posture, not facial detail.

🎨 STYLE CONTAINMENT (CRITICAL)

The illustration style must apply ONLY to the cartoon character.

The original image must remain 100% photographic.

Do not redraw, repaint, or stylize any part of the photo.

There must be a clear separation:
• real world = untouched photograph
• cartoon = newly added illustrated element

🎨 ILLUSTRATION STYLE (CARTOON ONLY)

• hand-drawn, slightly imperfect outlines
• subtle variation in line thickness
• soft, rounded edges

Color:

• flat base colors matching the outfit
• soft watercolor-like shading
• warm, slightly muted tones
• gentle blush on cheeks

Avoid:

• hyper-realism
• 3D rendering
• glossy or digital plastic textures
• overly clean vector perfection

🎭 POSE + PERSONALITY (MANDATORY — DO NOT DEFAULT TO NEUTRAL)

The cartoon must have a playful, cool, natural pose.

Avoid standing straight or symmetrical poses.

Instead, choose a dynamic, relaxed position such as:

• leaning back on hands with legs extended or crossed
• sitting with one leg dangling and one bent
• slightly slouched with attitude
• mid-action (holding an object, adjusting something, looking off to the side)
• weight shifted to one side (asymmetrical balance)

The pose should feel:

• effortless
• confident
• slightly candid, not posed

📍 ENVIRONMENT INTERACTION (CRITICAL)

The cartoon must physically interact with the scene:

• sit on real surfaces (ground, ledges, objects)
• lean against objects or structures
• rest feet naturally on the ground

Never float.

💡 MICRO-EXPRESSION

• relaxed or subtly amused expression
• simple facial features (minimal eyes and mouth)
• small personality-driven gestures

🌅 LIGHTING & INTEGRATION

The cartoon must match the lighting of the real scene:

• follow the same light direction as the environment
• apply subtle warm or cool tones from the environment
• add a soft, realistic contact shadow beneath the character
• match perspective and scale accurately

🌫️ ATMOSPHERIC BLENDING

• slightly soften contrast to match the environment
• subtly blend tones with surrounding light and air
• avoid overly crisp or isolated appearance

The character should feel present in the same space, not pasted on top.

🚫 DO NOT

• do not change the real person in any way
• do not change the outfit
• do not convert the image into a cartoon or illustration
• do not apply global stylization
• do not alter lighting or realism of the photo
• do not create multiple characters

🎥 FINAL CHECK

The final image must look like a real photograph with a cartoon character added into it — not a stylized or illustrated scene.
