## Prompt

```text
Transform the uploaded image into a {style} while preserving the subject(s), composition, clothing, accessories, and overall identity.

Redraw every subject as chunky, rubbery cartoon characters with simplified, exaggerated anatomy: oversized rounded bodies, short stubby limbs, tiny beady dot eyes, and an enormous wide-open mouth with large flat teeth and a bold red lip outline dominating the lower half of the face. Push the facial proportions into a grotesque yet playful, joyfully absurd aesthetic.

Use flat {skin_tone} skin tones. Render everything in crisp vector-style line art with thick bold black outlines, solid flat colors, and absolutely no gradients, shadows, textures, lighting effects, or photorealism.

Faithfully recreate all clothing, hairstyles, accessories, footwear, bags, hats, and props from the reference image, simplifying them into the same bold graphic cartoon style while maintaining recognizable colors and silhouettes.

Center the full-body subject(s) in a portrait composition against a clean {background_color}.

Style DNA: Flat 2D editorial cartoon, inspired by classic American animation with a modern streetwear illustration aesthetic. Bold, graphic, irreverent, expressive, and intentionally exaggerated.
```
