## Prompt

```text
Use my uploaded reference photo as the primary facial identity reference. Preserve my exact facial identity with maximum accuracy—face shape, jawline, cheekbones, eyebrows, eye shape, nose, lips, ears, skin tone, hairstyle, hair texture, beard/stubble pattern, and all distinctive facial characteristics. Do not beautify, feminize, age, de-age, or replace my identity.

Create a photorealistic editorial street photograph showing me sitting casually on a low stone curb in a charming European-style urban street. I am seated with one knee raised and the other leg extended naturally, leaning my cheek against one hand with a relaxed, thoughtful expression.

Outfit

* Beige/tan baseball cap
* Dark burgundy cable-knit sweater
* Loose-fit dark blue jeans
* Brown leather lace-up boots
* Layered silver necklaces with a small rectangular dog-tag pendant
* A few subtle silver rings
* Natural, effortless streetwear styling

Environment

Old European city architecture with textured warm beige plaster walls on one side and dark green brickwork on the other. A window is visible in the background. Cobblestone pavement and a slightly weathered stone curb create an authentic urban atmosphere. Keep the background softly blurred while retaining enough architectural detail.

Cartoon Version

Next to me, sitting on the same curb in almost the exact same pose, outfit, facial expression, and proportions, place a small 2D illustrated cartoon version of myself. The cartoon should clearly resemble me, including my facial features, beard, glasses if present, hairstyle, cap, burgundy sweater, necklaces, jeans, and boots.

The cartoon character should look like a hand-drawn premium animation character seamlessly placed into the real photograph—not a generic cartoon. Give it clean expressive linework, subtle shading, realistic clothing details, and a polished modern animation aesthetic.

Composition & Style

Photorealistic cinematic photography blended with high-quality 2D illustration. Both versions of me should be sitting naturally together and looking in the same general direction. Make the scale and perspective of the cartoon character believable within the scene.

Shot at eye level with a slightly low cinematic perspective, 50mm lens look, shallow depth of field, natural overcast daylight, soft shadows, realistic skin texture, detailed fabric, authentic cobblestone textures, subtle film grain, muted warm color grading, premium fashion-editorial photography, highly detailed, realistic lighting, natural proportions.

Important: The real person must remain the exact same identity as the uploaded reference image. Do not change facial structure or recognizable features. The cartoon should be a stylized illustrated interpretation of the same person.

Aspect ratio: 4:5 vertical. Ultra-high resolution.
