Replace the ${…} placeholders with your values before using this prompt. See parameters and defaults below.

Create a two-dimensional alternative character illustration of ${character}, occupying approximately seventy-five percent of the frame in ${pose}, with ${hair} and ${expression}. Give the character an oversized rounded cranium, a short flattened lower face, a narrow jaw, a long thin neck, slightly oversized ears, huge pale oval eyes with tiny off-center pupils, extremely thick horizontal black eyebrows, heavy black upper eyelids, muted mauve under-eye rings, a tiny broad triangular nose, and a wide asymmetrical grin showing individually drawn irregular rectangular teeth, one clearly missing upper tooth, one chipped tooth, and deep black gaps. Dress the character in ${clothing}, simplified into broad graphic shapes with chunky seams, minimal folds, and small hand-drawn accessories. Use confident black ink contours with thick outer silhouettes, medium-weight facial lines, thin angular hair strands, and only a few short scratch marks around the eyes, hair, and clothing seams. Use flat opaque color fields, one hard-edged cel-shadow shape per form, sparse pencil hatching, subtle ink wobble, slight color misregistration, and restrained worn-paper texture. Use a controlled ${colors} palette, keeping every color clearly separated and moderately saturated. Place the character against ${background}, reduced to large flat shapes, a few loosely drawn environmental details, and oversized rough hand-painted lettering reading “${text}”. Use an off-center waist-up composition, a slight camera tilt, cropped background typography, loose poster margins, and lightly weathered printed edges. 4:5 aspect ratio.
