## Prompt

```text
Use the first uploaded image as the [Overall Style and Layout Reference] and the second uploaded image as the [Character Identity Reference].

Please generate a complete full-year {year} calendar illustration poster.

Visual Style:
Retain the {art_style} from Reference Image 1, featuring a warm off-white paper background, delicate ink outlines, soft watercolor bleeding, and slight paper texture. Include seasonal decorative elements such as flowers, snowflakes, hearts, paper planes, etc. The overall atmosphere should be gentle, healing, clean, and lifestyle-oriented, like a bullet-journal style calendar.

Layout Requirements:
A 3x4 grid for 12 months. Centered top title "2026" in a handwritten black brush font. Each month should include the title (e.g., "01 January"), a small date table, a character illustration, and seasonal decorations.

Character Requirements:
Replace the male character in Reference 1 with the female character from Reference 2. Maintain her core features: {character_features}. Outfits should be integrated into the watercolor style.

Specific actions for each month (e.g., January: holding hot coffee; July: drinking iced drinks on a lounge chair).

Calendar Requirements:
Must be the year 2026 with accurate dates. Week format: S M T W T F S. Dates should be legible with a handwritten feel. Overall, it must look like a cohesive poster, not a collage of photos.
```
