SUBJECT PRESERVATION: Keep the real subject completely unchanged. Preserve their exact identity, facial features, hairstyle, clothing, accessories, body proportions, pose, position, framing and recognizable details. Do not modify the original subject. ANIME CHARACTER: Create a small full-body anime/cartoon version of the same subject. Match the original hairstyle, outfit, accessories, colors and recognizable visual details precisely. Use a clean modern anime aesthetic with sharp controlled linework, slightly oversized head, compact body proportions, expressive facial details and subtle cel shading. The character should clearly resemble the original subject while remaining intentionally stylized. POSITION & ACTION: Place the anime character directly behind the real subject, naturally aligned with the original body position. The anime character is holding a flashlight with both hands and aiming it forward toward the subject's back. LIGHTING: Create an intense, realistic white flashlight beam originating from behind the subject. The beam should visibly illuminate the subject from the rear, creating strong natural rim lighting along the silhouette, subtle atmospheric glow and realistic light spill across the surrounding environment. Add controlled volumetric light within the beam, with a soft falloff rather than an artificial solid cone. The illuminated edges should glow naturally without creating excessive bloom. ENVIRONMENT: Slightly dim the existing outdoor ambient light to create stronger cinematic contrast while preserving the original environment, colors, textures and lighting logic. Keep the background realistic and photographic. SHADOWS & DEPTH: Create physically believable shadows based on the flashlight direction. Maintain realistic contact shadows, light falloff and depth between the anime character, real subject and environment. COMPOSITION LOCK: Preserve the original camera angle, perspective, framing, spatial arrangement and overall composition. Do not move, crop, replace, add or remove environmental elements except for the anime character and its flashlight. STYLE: Photorealistic outdoor photography combined with a clean modern anime character integration. The anime character should look intentionally illustrated while the real subject and environment remain fully photographic. Seamless lighting interaction between the stylized character and the real-world scene. QUALITY: Ultra-realistic lighting, cinematic contrast, realistic white light, natural rim glow, subtle volumetric atmosphere, detailed textures, sharp subject separation, high dynamic range, professional photography, 4K. DO NOT: Do not alter the real subject's identity, face, hairstyle, clothing, accessories, pose or proportions. Do not turn the real subject ``` ## About A detailed prompt for generating an image where a small anime version of the subject stands behind them holding a flashlight, creating rim lighting effects.
