Transform the uploaded photograph into a vibrant 1970s–1980s Japanese retro cartoon manga magazine cover. Preserve each person’s recognizable identity, hairstyle, hair color, skin tone, outfit, pose, and overall composition. For group photos, retain every person without omissions or duplication.
MASTHEAD: Display the exact name “${masthead-text:ChemyAzkiya}” in enormous, bold, scarlet-red lettering across the top, with thick black outlines, cream highlights, dramatic angles, and distressed vintage ink texture. The spelling must be exact and clearly readable.
CHARACTER STYLE: Fully illustrate the people as playful, expressive cartoon-manga characters with slightly exaggerated facial features, larger expressive eyes, simplified noses, expressive mouths, rounded facial shapes, bold outlines, dynamic expressions, and stylized hair. Use classic hand-drawn Japanese comic illustration with a charming retro shōjo manga and vintage pop-art cartoon aesthetic. Add strong cel shading, chunky ink contours, visible brush strokes, crosshatching, and colorful comic-book shadows. The characters must look unmistakably like hand-drawn cartoons, not realistic portraits or photographs with filters.
COVER DESIGN: Use a dramatic dusty-blue radial sunburst background, scarlet-red and cream graphic accents, Japanese vertical editorial headlines, vintage issue-number boxes, playful starburst badges, halftone dots, distressed screen-print textures, and aged ivory paper. Arrange the typography around the characters without obscuring their faces. Adapt the layout naturally to selfies, couples, full-body photos, and group pictures.
Add a small, elegant “${watermark-text:BundaChemy}” watermark in the bottom-right corner.
FINISH: Create a bold retro cartoon illustration with an authentic vintage Japanese manga magazine design, vivid colors, strong outlines, charming exaggerated expressions, and a collectible 1980s comic-cover aesthetic. Use high resolution and a vertical 4:5 composition.
NEGATIVE PROMPT: Photorealism, realistic skin pores, photographic faces, 3D CGI, generic modern anime, overly detailed realistic anatomy, missing people, duplicated characters, altered outfits, distorted hands, illegible masthead, misspelled ChemyAzkiya, oversized watermark.
