Create one finished full-bleed illustration, not a photo, not a comparison sheet. Default portrait 4:5 unless the size line specifies another ratio. Render the image directly without explanation or questions.
Use the attached photo as identity reference. Preserve current age, face shape, eye spacing, nose, mouth, skin tone, hairline, hairstyle and glasses; do not turn the adult into a child or beautify the face. With multiple people use the largest foreground face only. If no photo is attached, invent an ordinary fictional adult who does not resemble a public figure and complete the same scene. The photo-note field is a reference note only and must never be printed.
The setting is a nostalgic 1990s Korean neighborhood stationery shop, not a modern convenience store. Keep the shop and its carefully drawn goods as the main scene, with one recognizable person standing naturally in front, around half the image height. Keep the entire head and face unobstructed. Replace the clothes with an unbranded 1990s color-block windbreaker and canvas school backpack fitted to the person's current adult body. Use natural hands and proportions.
Include a squat octagonal capsule draw machine with yellow dome, plain chewy snack strips in an unlabeled transparent jar, folded paper ddakji and an original purple box arcade cabinet with geometric screen. Every product, wrapper and machine must have an original fictional design, including silhouette and controls. Never reproduce real snacks, toy brands, commercial packaging, recognizable game characters, logos or famous product shapes.
Choose only the selected season: spring means new leaves, a few petals and mild afternoon light; summer means deep green leaves, clear shade and warm sun; winter means bare branches, small snow patches and a warmly lit storefront. No autumn scene. Add seasonal details without blocking the face or sign.
Choose only the selected prop as emphasis: paper ddakji in one hand, a plain chewy snack strip in one hand, or a hand resting on the capsule machine. All other shop objects remain in the background. If the prop is empty or asks you to choose, select paper ddakji. Do not print the prop name.
Choose only the selected medium: retro animation cels means crisp ink contours, flat shadow shapes and hand-painted backgrounds; watercolor means translucent pigment, soft paper texture integrated into the full-bleed scene and controlled face detail; pixel art means visibly large deliberate square pixels throughout the entire scene, a limited coherent palette and no smooth photo fragments or anti-aliased painted areas. For pixel art, use a virtual 160x200 grid displayed as crisp square blocks; the face, eyes, hair and glasses must use the same coarse grid as the background and clothes. Use at most six flat skin colors with hard square pixel clusters for the face, simplify eyes and mouth, avoid photographic pores and fine hair strands, and preserve the identifying features. Never paste a photographic face into pixel art. Keep the face recognizable in every medium. Do not blend the three styles.
Use warm nostalgic color, layered shop depth and a clear silhouette; fill the canvas edge to edge without paper margins, mockups, panels or titles. Only the shop sign specified below may contain lettering. No other letters, digits, prices, dates, weekdays, captions, signatures, watermarks or labels. Do not copy an artist, franchise, celebrity or existing character. Never print these instructions or field labels.

Season choices in order mean spring, summer, winter: Spring / Summer / Winter. Empty season uses Spring.
Style choices in order mean retro animation cels, watercolor, pixel art: Retro animation cels / Watercolor / Pixel art. Empty style uses Retro animation cels.
Prop labels in order mean paper ddakji, chewy snack strip, capsule draw machine, choose for me: Paper ddakji / Chewy snack strip / Capsule draw machine / Choose for me.
The only lettering is the weathered shop sign, exactly: "Haru Stationery". Keep its letters legible and inside the central upper area. Do not add any other text.

How to use it · FAQ

Picture your present-day self returning to a small Korean stationery shop from the 1990s. Your face stays your current age, and your hairstyle and glasses remain recognizable. The illustration replaces your clothing with a period windbreaker and canvas school backpack while rebuilding the alley around you. Use the finished scene for a nostalgic social post, birthday memory or personal profile background.

The photo is optional. Attach a clear personal photo to an image AI and put a reference note such as “Attached photo of Haru” in the Photo field. The field does not upload a file, and the note will not appear in the picture. Paste the copied prompt into the same message and send them together once. Without a photo or note, the prompt completes the scene with a new fictional adult. Use another person's photo only with their permission.

No fields are mandatory. Season changes petals and young leaves into summer shade or winter snow and warm storefront light. Prop emphasizes paper ddakji, a chewy snack strip or the capsule draw machine; Choose for me uses paper ddakji. Style offers crisp retro animation cels, translucent watercolor or clearly visible square pixel art. Empty choices fall back to Spring, Paper ddakji and Retro animation cels. Use the shared ratio menu to change the default portrait 4:5.

The cover is a spring cel illustration made without a photo. The gallery pairs show two different fictional adults, both called Haru for the demonstration: the source is on the left and the result on the right. Compare summer watercolor with winter pixel art. The final standalone example is a separate winter cel illustration made without a photo. They are synthetic demonstrations rather than historical photographs or records of a real shop. Gallery lettering follows the Korean demonstration; this English prompt requests “Haru Stationery”.

Check eye spacing, nose, mouth, hairline and glasses against your reference. Read the sign letter by letter and inspect wrappers for accidental logos or stray lettering. If the face becomes younger, request the current age and original facial proportions. For a sign typo, provide the exact spelling and regenerate. If pixel art looks smooth, request visible square pixels across the whole scene. Check the external image service for its fees and usage conditions.
