and defaults below.
Use the uploaded reference as the identity source. Redraw the subject (a person of any gender or age, an animal, or any being; if there are several subjects, keep all of them) as a fully animated character and create one complete vertical 9:16 frame in the style of a Tim Burton stop-motion animated film. Pure cartoon puppet design, NOT a realistic or semi-realistic face with slightly enlarged eyes: the whole face is redesigned with exaggerated cartoon proportions, as a sculpted clay stop-motion puppet with tactile handmade textures and whimsical spooky-cute charm.
FULL CREATIVE FREEDOM: Analyse the reference (the subject's vibe, personality and mood) and invent a complete, unique frame for this particular subject in Tim Burton's style. You decide everything yourself: the story, setting, background, props, pose, expression, outfit, composition, light and accent colour. Nothing is prescribed, and every subject gets its own different frame. The subject is the hero and fills most of the frame. Any written text in the scene is in Ukrainian, short, hand-lettered, and spelled correctly.
EYES (the most important feature): Gigantic round bulging doll eyes like glossy glass marbles. Each eye is about one third of the face width and takes up a huge part of the upper face, set wide apart. Large bright white sclera visible around a smaller iris, the iris in the subject's real eye colour with a clear glossy highlight. Heavy thick black smudged dark rings around the eyes like dark eyeshadow circles, very long thick spiky lashes, thin arched expressive eyebrows. For animals and creatures: the same gigantic round glossy eyes with large whites.
FACE AND BODY: Delicate narrow elongated face with a pointed small chin, pale matte porcelain-clay skin in a soft, cool, light shade of the subject's own tone, very small delicate nose, small sculpted lips, a slightly oversized head, a very long thin neck, a slender elongated body with thin arms and long thin graceful fingers. Hair keeps its real colour, length and parting, sculpted as textured strands.
IDENTITY LOCK: Keep the exact recognizable markers from the reference: hair colour, length, texture and parting, eye colour, face shape character, age, gender, body type, jewelry, piercings, glasses and distinctive details. The subject stays clearly recognizable as the same individual, translated into puppet-cartoon design. For animals keep species, coat colour and markings exactly, with a stitched puppet look.
COLOUR AND LIGHT: Muted, desaturated, pale Burton palette of charcoal, black, ink-blue, grey-violet and bone white, plus one soft accent colour. Skin stays pale and cool-neutral. No yellow, orange or brown colour cast anywhere; warm light sources stay small and never tint the skin. One cohesive frame: the scene's light wraps the subject, shadow direction matches the environment, with contact shadows wherever the subject touches the ground, furniture or props, and the subject's weight supported by real contact with surfaces.
Signature "${creator-credit:prompt by olya_aivisual}" handwritten brush script, thin elegant strokes, legible, horizontal, bottom right corner, small, not overlapping subject. Below it "${second-credit:Promptarium}", same style and alignment.
ANATOMY: Exactly two arms and two hands, five fingers on each hand, natural joints, elongated yet coherent cartoon proportions, head and body consistent. Fingers rest on held objects without passing through them. Furniture and props have correct structure and stand level.
QUALITY: Ultra-detailed stop-motion animation render, sharp focus on the face and eyes, clean crisp sculpted textures, smooth consistent cartoon surfaces, no mesh or grid pattern, no blotchy patches, no warped or extra limbs, no distortion.
