Paper_cutout_portrait (image)

Convert the uploaded photo into a stylized paper-cutout portrait illustration.

IDENTITY: Use the uploaded photo as the reference. Preserve the person’s recognizable features—hairstyle, distinctive traits, and accessories—but reinterpret them through the cute cartoon aesthetic described below.

FACE STYLIZATION:
- Narrow, elongated face
- Large almond-shaped eyes, oversized relative to the head
- Long, elegant neck
- Narrow, delicate shoulders
- Cute, cartoon-like appearance: soft, rounded, and charming
- Preserve the person’s identity while simplifying their features into this adorable stylized look

PRINT EFFECT: Make the portrait look printed on designer textured paper, with visible paper grain, subtle fiber texture, and a matte finish. Use typographic ink: flat and slightly imperfect, like screen-printed or letterpress ink on textured stock. Use bold, saturated colors, slightly softened by the paper texture.

CUTOUT EFFECT: Make the portrait appear die-cut from the paper, with clean, slightly irregular edges. Add a soft, natural drop shadow beneath the cutout to create a realistic dimensional effect, as if it floats slightly above the background.

3D ELEMENTS: Make key elements from the reference photo—such as earrings, hair strands, glasses, or accessories—THREE-DIMENSIONAL and physically protrude from the paper surface. These elements should lift off the paper and cast subtle shadows, creating a mixed-media effect that combines flat print with dimensional objects.

BACKGROUND: Use a light, neutral, minimal background in warm cream, soft off-white, or pale beige. Keep it clean and uncluttered, with generous negative space. The background should feel like a studio photography backdrop for a paper cutout.

COLOR PALETTE: Use a bright, vibrant, playful palette, with saturated colors and a slight vintage print quality. Keep colors flat and graphic, with subtle texture from the paper grain. Use warm skin tones and bold accent colors in the hair and clothing.

MOOD: Playful, charming, artistic, and editorial. Create a contemporary mixed-media aesthetic combining flat illustration, paper craft, and dimensional elements.

FORBIDDEN: Photorealism, 3D CGI, digital painting with smooth gradients, anime style, realistic proportions, busy backgrounds, dark heavy shadows, text, logos, and watermarks.
