AI Prompt

{Reference the original image’s character identity and facial features: 1.8}, {Character consistency: 1.8}, {Clothing style fully preserved: 2.0}. Transform the character from the reference photo into a classic 2D emoji icon, preserving the most distinctive facial features of the original character—including hairline contour, hair color, face shape, eyebrow shape, clothing style, dominant clothing color, plaid pattern details, earrings, and necklace—but highly abstracting, iconizing, and emoji-fying all details. Use uniform emoji skin tones, avoiding real human skin tones. The character has a rounded, large-head, half-body proportion, with the head occupying about half the height of the image. Shoulders are narrow, and the body and arms are rendered using simple, rounded geometric shapes. The face is full and round, ears are simplified, and the neck is short and straightforward. Facial features are designed using classic emoji symbols: simple eyebrows, minimal detail in the whites of the eyes and irises, no depiction of realistic pupil reflections; the nose is represented by a small, flat block or a simple curved line; the mouth uses a concise red lip shape. The face does not show the bridge of the nose, eye sockets, cheekbones, nasolabial folds, or any other realistic facial structures. Hair is composed of two to three flat color blocks, capturing the original character’s hairstyle with broad, rounded contours, retaining only a few large, sweeping sections while omitting fine strands and dense lines. The clothing significantly simplifies the number of plaid patterns, using only a few large, regular squares, without depicting fabric textures, pleats, or stitching. Earrings and necklaces are reduced to solid-color, flat shapes, without adding metallic reflections or jewelry details. The overall style adopts a minimalist, 2D, flat vector emoji aesthetic—pure solid colors, rounded shapes, clean edges, no obvious outlines or only very subtle outlines in the same color family, no gradients, no material textures, no realistic lighting or shadows. The overall effect resembles the system’s built-in character emojis. {Refer to the original image’s main facial features, gender, hair color, hairstyle, and biological characteristics of the protagonist; these remain unchanged}, {Realism: 1.6}.
