Prompt template
Transform the provided photograph into a quirky vintage illustration from a fairytale children’s book, with grotesque, humorous cartoon energy. Depict the character as ${character-name:Катя}, a ${profession:software developer}.
Use thin, shaky black lines, awkward anatomy, elongated limbs, odd proportions, awkward facial expressions, chaotic movement, and a deliberately clumsy drawing style. Make the character absurd, nervous, and funny—not cute. Keep the composition minimalist.
All notes, captions, labels, speech bubbles, doodles, and handwritten text in the image must be in Russian Cyrillic only. Do not include English text anywhere in the image.
Use pale, faded watercolor brushstrokes, dirty-paper texture, uneven coloring, muted faded colors, plenty of white space, loose sketch lines, and the rough texture of an old printed illustration. Make the background minimalist and random, with small odd details and loose doodles. Aim for a strange, humorous, slightly unsettling mood, like an authentic Eastern European children’s book illustration from the 1980s. Avoid a polished, modern, aesthetically pleasing, or cutesy look; keep the drawing rough, detailed, and realistically textured.
