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

Use ${person-photo} only as a reference for the person’s gender, approximate age, build, character, pose, hairstyle, overall silhouette, and clothing color palette. Use ${style-reference-images} as visual references for the artistic language, character design, linework, proportions, palette, lighting, and forest atmosphere.

Transform the person into a fully original, unnamed character that could naturally exist in the world of the animated series Gravity Falls. Do not copy or evoke any of the show’s main characters. The result must look like a genuine character from the show’s 2D animated world—not a realistic person with a cartoon filter applied. Completely redesign the appearance in the show’s characteristic 2D animation style. Do not preserve realistic facial features, photorealistic proportions, skin texture, or realistic anatomy. Convey the person’s likeness primarily through hairstyle, build, age impression, clothing, pose, and general mood, not through realistic portrait resemblance.

### Face and anatomy
Create a face in the characteristic Gravity Falls style: a slightly exaggerated cartoon head, large expressive eyes, a simple nose, a small expressive smile or mouth, and a clear dark outline. Keep the face simple, graphic, and easy to read at small sizes.

Make the eyes large and expressive, but not perfectly round and not in the style of The Simpsons. They may differ slightly in size or placement to create lively cartoon asymmetry. Keep irises and pupils simple, without realistic detail. Give the nose a simple, graphic, slightly protruding cartoon shape; avoid realistic nose forms and intricate anatomical detail. Keep the mouth simple but highly expressive. Convey emotion through the mouth, eyebrows, eyes, and head position.

Use simple, stylized ears. Draw cartoon hands with four fingers; do not use realistic hand anatomy. Give the body slightly exaggerated cartoon proportions: the head may be somewhat large relative to the body, with simplified limbs and stylized hands and feet. Do not depict muscles, ribs, collarbones, tendons, or other realistic anatomical details. Make the silhouette slightly irregular and lively, with the expressive asymmetry characteristic of Gravity Falls. The character should look as if they truly belong in the show’s original 2D animation.

### Skin
Use a natural-looking but fully cartoon-colored skin fill. Do not use photorealistic skin tones, pores, texture, highlights, or microdetail. Use a simple flat or lightly stylized fill that fits the Gravity Falls palette. Very soft cartoon shading is acceptable, but avoid realistic lighting.

### Hairstyle and build
Preserve the hair type, length, and main color from the photo, but completely transform the hair into a graphic hairstyle in the spirit of Gravity Falls. Make the hair a unified cartoon shape with a clear silhouette, a few large distinct locks, and characteristically uneven edges. Do not use realistic individual strands, photorealistic texture, or complex shine. You may exaggerate the hairstyle slightly to make it more expressive and cohesive with the cartoon design.

Use the photo only to determine the person’s general build. Depict a slim person as a thin cartoon character, a larger-built person as rounder, a tall person as elongated, and a shorter person as compact. Convey build only through the overall silhouette; do not use realistic body anatomy.

### Clothing
Do not copy the clothing literally from the photo. Identify its category, level of formality, and main colors, then redesign it as clothing suited to a Gravity Falls character. Use ordinary cartoon-character clothing such as simple T-shirts, hoodies, shirts, jackets, sweaters, jeans, shorts, skirts, dresses, vests, or other everyday garments. Preserve the basic type of the original outfit: a dress remains a dress, trousers remain trousers, a skirt remains a skirt, and so on. Use the photo’s color palette as a guide without copying the outfit literally.

Add simple graphic details when they suit the character, such as pockets, a collar, large buttons, stripes, a simple pattern, or a small decorative element. Avoid realistic fabric, intricate seams, photorealistic folds, microtextures, and logos.

### Character and expression
Read the person’s mood and character from the photo and translate them into expressive cartoon acting in the spirit of Gravity Falls. Use eyebrow position, eye size and direction, eye shape, mouth, head tilt, hand position, and pose. Make the expression lively, slightly exaggerated, and comically expressive. The character may appear curious, surprised, confident, thoughtful, frightened, cheerful, or slightly suspicious. Convey the show’s distinctive blend of humor, adventure, and gentle weirdness.

### Setting and atmosphere
Place the character in a mysterious conifer forest reminiscent of the woods around Gravity Falls. The style-reference images should guide the overall atmosphere, color palette, and artistic language, but do not reproduce any recognizable show location or building, including the Mystery Shack. Create a fully original location that fits the show’s forest atmosphere.

Show a dense forest of tall pines and firs, irregular woodland vegetation, ferns, shrubs, moss, grass, small rocks, fallen trees, and old stumps. Create the feeling of a quiet, slightly mysterious forest near a small American town. Sunbeams may pass between the trees, and distant layers of conifers should add depth. Include a few subtle unusual environmental details, such as strange mushrooms, an old wooden signpost, tracks on the ground, an unusual shrub, a small mysterious object, or other barely noticeable touches that suggest a secret.

Use uneven woodland ground, such as a forest path or small clearing. Include grass, leaves, twigs, and small plants in the foreground. Make the background more detailed than a Simpsons-style background while keeping it clearly illustrated.

The overall mood is a mysterious summer forest, adventure, gentle supernatural mystery, and cozy oddness. Sunlight filters through the tall pines, creating patches of light and soft shadows on the ground, with a faint sense of mystery in the air. Do not make the scene horrific or gloomy; it should be an atmospheric adventure forest in the spirit of Gravity Falls.

### Color and graphic style
Use the muted natural palette characteristic of Gravity Falls: deep conifer green, dark green, olive, gray-green, brown, warm beige, muted yellow, blue-gray, and warm wood tones. Avoid neon and excessively saturated colors. Let the character stand out somewhat from the forest while still belonging to the scene’s overall palette.

Use classic 2D digital animation, visually close to the aesthetic of Gravity Falls: clear dark outlines, expressive linework, flat base colors, simple cartoon shadows, and localized color shapes. Use lively, irregular contours characteristic of hand-drawn animation; avoid perfectly geometric or sterile vector lines. Make the forest background more detailed than the character, with many stylized pines, branches, grasses, rocks, and woodland details, while keeping everything drawn rather than realistic.

Create several depth layers: blurred or lower-contrast trees in the distance, more detailed trees and plants in the midground, and clearly readable elements in the foreground. Soft cartoon shadows and light atmospheric haze between forest layers are acceptable. Do not use photorealistic lighting, 3D rendering, CGI, or realistic materials.

### Composition
Show one character full-body, completely visible in the frame. Place the camera approximately at the character’s eye level. Put the character in a small forest clearing or on a forest path, with a clearly readable silhouette. Leave enough open space around the character while filling the background with natural details. Compose the image like a frame from an adventure episode: the character is the focus, while the surrounding forest suggests a larger world and story.

### Priority and exclusions
The person’s photo determines gender, approximate age, build, hairstyle, character, pose, and the clothing color idea—but not realistic facial features. The attached style-reference images guide the artistic language, character design, linework, proportions, palette, lighting, and forest atmosphere. At first glance, the result must read as a new, original character from the world of Gravity Falls in a mysterious conifer forest, not as a photo of a person processed with a cartoon filter.

Exclude: photorealistic faces; realistic facial features; realistic anatomy; realistic skin texture; pores; realistic eyes or nose; realistic hair strands; photorealism; 3D rendering; CGI; hyperrealistic lighting; realistic clothing; detailed fabric texture; five-fingered hands; realistic hands; realistic muscles; realistic shadows; glossy skin; neon colors; overly saturated colors; existing Gravity Falls characters, including Dipper, Mabel, Stan, Soos, Wendy, and Bill Cipher; the Mystery Shack; recognizable locations from the show; copied character designs; and exact recreations of existing characters.
