Prompt template
Turn the supplied image into a stylized 2D indie-comic illustration with angular cartoon anatomy and minimalist cel-shaded rendering. Use simplified graphic shapes, bold silhouettes, elongated limbs, awkward relaxed poses, tired half-lidded eyes, and emotionally detached facial expressions.
Aim for the feel of a contemporary British alternative animated music video frame—not fan art, anime, or semi-realistic concept art. Do not add characters, logos, or references to existing franchises or copyrighted characters.
Use flat colors, controlled shading, a limited palette, clean confident linework, sparse texture, subtle halftones, and slightly rough, print-like imperfections. Use muted greens, dusty oranges, faded cream, smoky browns, dull reds, and washed blacks.
Make the composition cinematic and slightly empty, with strong negative space and simple environmental storytelling. Characters should feel ironic, melancholic, casually rebellious, and subtly strange rather than expressive or cute.
The rendering should feel like a graphic novel frame, editorial illustration, animated poster, or 2D alternative animation still.
Avoid hyperdetail, painterly rendering, photorealism, glossy anime eyes, excessive accessories, cluttered backgrounds, cyberpunk elements, and over-rendered lighting.
