TASK {
  Create ONE vertical 5:7 collectible illustrated CARD, front side only, shown flat and straight-on, filling the whole image (no table, no hand, no background around the card, no mockup).
  Use the uploaded photo ONLY for the eyes, nose and mouth. Style, outfit, hair, pose, composition, card design and text are all defined by this prompt.
  First silently analyze the subject in the photo (overall vibe, energy, impression; also use any known context about the user if available) and decide the GUARDIAN_SCENE and CARD_TEXT contents. Show the results only inside the card, with no explanatory text outside it.
}

CARD_FRAME {
  - Rounded corners, thick crimson border with a thin antique-gold inner line.
  - Subtle Korean traditional geometric pattern embossed in gold along the border.
  - Inside the border: one illustration window with a warm ivory rice-paper background.
  - Light gold-foil sheen only on the border and stamps; the illustration itself stays flat-printed.
  - Guns and creatures may slightly overlap the inner gold line for a pop-out feel.
}

ART_STYLE {
  MOST IMPORTANT: the WHOLE card, face included, is a cartoon manga illustration, like a hand-inked color page of a late-1980s / early-1990s Japanese shonen action manga or a TV anime cel of that era. NOT a webtoon, NOT a K-beauty or romance-fantasy illustration, NOT semi-realistic.
  - Lines: bold, smooth, clean black ink outlines. Thick outer silhouettes. NO fine hatching, NO cross-hatching, NO engraving or woodblock texture, NO sketchy strokes.
  - Shapes: chunky, simplified, rounded cartoon shapes.
  - Guns and gear: chunky cartoon mechanical design with clean bold panels and a few simple bolts. Not photorealistic firearms.
  - Color: flat cel fills with one hard-edged shadow tone. No gradients anywhere, no painterly or textured rendering.
  - Creatures, flowers, clouds and waves: same bold cartoon linework and flat fills.
  - Palette: crimson red, royal purple, teal-turquoise, antique gold, ivory, plus black for gear. Add a few ink-splatter dots, flying petals and a few flying brass shell casings.
}

FACE {
  Likeness comes ONLY from the SHAPE and PLACEMENT of the photo's features. Rendering stays strictly anime-cel simple.
  Take from the photo:
  - Eye outline shape (length, height, tilt of outer corners, eyelid fold type), iris color.
  - Nose length and tip shape.
  - Mouth width and lip shape.
  - Exact size, spacing and relative position of eyes, nose and mouth. No beautifying, no averaging, no symmetrizing.
  Line budget (do not exceed):
  - Each eye: one bold upper lash line with at most 2 small flicks at the outer corner, one thin lower line, a flat-colored iris with a dark pupil and 2 white highlights. No individual eyelashes, no lower lashes, no eyelid shading, no eye makeup.
  - Nose: one small line or notch only. No nostrils, no nose shading.
  - Mouth: one mouth line plus one short lower-lip stroke, very light flat lip tint. No glossy, gradient or lipstick lips.
  - Skin: one flat skin color plus one hard cel shadow under the bangs and chin. No blush, no gradients.
  Draw the face shape fresh: a slender oval manga face with a small chin.
  Do NOT take from the photo: face shape, skin texture, hair, hairline, forehead, head angle, head tilt, face direction, gaze, expression, clothing, accessories, background.
  If the person wears glasses, remove them completely with no marks or traces. No earrings.
  Woman in photo = female gunslinger. Man in photo = male gunslinger. Animal in photo = anthropomorphized upright cartoon gunslinger keeping its own species' face shape, fur pattern and colors, wearing the same outfit.
}

CHARACTER {
  Proportions: compact cartoon body EXACTLY about 4.5 heads tall: big head, short sturdy arms and legs, chunky hands and boots. NOT 5.5, NOT 6 heads, NO long legs.
  Hair: jet-black hair drawn as large flat black masses with one simple highlight band, split into a few big pointed clumps only. NO strand-by-strand hair, no thin flyaway strands, no brown tint. Female = two high ponytails tied with crimson daenggi ribbons, short bangs. Male = short spiky hair with a crimson daenggi ribbon tied as a headband, ends flying.
  Expression: calm, confident closed-mouth half smile, eyes slightly narrowed, relaxed brows.

MODERN_KOREAN_GUNSLINGER_OUTFIT {
  Modern tactical gunslinger outfit fused with Korean traditional armor details, drawn in simplified cartoon shapes:
  - Cropped padded jacket inspired by the Joseon dujeonggap: crimson and purple, rows of round gold rivets drawn as simple dots, studded high collar with brown fur trim drawn as zigzag tufts.
  - Black fitted top underneath with a black chest harness, straps and a few chunky ammo pouches.
  - Wide braided crimson cord belt with hanging tassels, worn over a black utility belt; thigh holster on one leg.
  - Teal and purple fingerless tactical gloves with small gold fittings.
  - Loose white cargo pants with crimson leg wraps at the shins, black combat boots.
  Guns (original cartoon designs, no real brand logos or markings):
  - Right hand: large chunky handgun with gold accents.
  - Left hand: long rifle with a red lacquered stock, gold fittings and a red horsehair tassel hanging from it.
  FORBIDDEN: samurai or Japanese elements, katana, realistic military uniform, camouflage pattern, real gun brand logos.
}

POSE_COMPOSITION {
  Keep the source layout exactly:
  - Character at the center at MEDIUM size, occupying about the middle half of the card height. Do NOT zoom in. The upper creature and the lower creature must both be clearly and fully readable.
  - Body turned 3/4 toward the viewer's left, crouching with one knee on the back of a huge creature at the bottom.
  - Right arm raised beside the head, handgun muzzle pointing UP toward the top-right corner, nearly vertical.
  - Left hand holding the long rifle diagonally down-left across the lower card, muzzle pointing down-left.
  - Neither gun points at the viewer.
  - Head slightly lowered in 3/4 view, eyes looking straight at the viewer. Do NOT turn the face away to the side, do NOT tilt the head.
  - Upper creature coils behind and above the character in the upper half, glaring down.
  - Large flower clusters on the left side and on the right of the character.
  - Swirling natural elements wrap around the lower creature.
  - Small ivory paper margins visible inside the frame.
}

GUARDIAN_SCENE {
  Decide through analysis: choose from Korean myth, folklore, nature and tradition what best suits this person.
  - Upper creature (coiling behind)
  - Lower creature (the one being ridden)
  - Flower type
  - Surrounding natural element
  Use water, cloud or wave patterns in Korean minhwa folk-painting shapes, drawn with the same bold cartoon lines.
  No Japanese motifs: no Hokusai-style waves, no tattoo-flash koi, no sakura, no irezumi, no Japanese crests.
  Creatures must be original designs and must not resemble any existing anime or manga character.
}

CARD_TEXT {
  All text in Korean Hangul only: no Japanese kana, no Chinese characters. Use correct spelling and clean brush calligraphy.
  - Top-left inside the window: tall crimson rectangular block with a vertical white Hangul brush title = this gunslinger's epithet decided by analysis (3-4 syllables).
  - Top-right inside the window: thin crimson-bordered vertical label with a short Hangul phrase (2-4 syllables).
  - Left margin: two small round red Korean seal stamps with Hangul.
  - Bottom-right: large round crimson stamp with ONE bold Hangul syllable symbolizing the chosen guardian.
  - Bottom-center: small illegible ink signature.
  Never write the person's real name.
