What worked
Both final results preserved the left woman's round face, reddish-brown glasses, curly white hair, and mustard outer wear, as well as the right man's high forehead, white mustache, teal shirt, and their left-right arrangement. Aged expressions, simplified cartoon faces, thick curved lines, and opaque paint textures were confirmed. A grassy lawn, small flowers, plaid picnic mat, woven basket, and fruits were shown with both figures seated. In both results, all four shoes and hands fit inside the frame, with no noticeable text, logos, or watermarks. Outputs were both 1122×1402, close to the requested 4:5.

How to improve
If a realistic portrait appears, keep the lead instruction ‘Create a clearly stylized 2D cartoon’ and simple face contour instructions tested this time. If feet are hidden, keep ‘Show all four shoes separately, without overlap or hiding.’ tested this time. In the final two results, the cartoon style and four-shoe visibility improved, but the numerical margins were not fully resolved.

Full prompt 4,085 characters
Wide environmental full-body view: keep the entire couple, including both elbows, both knees and all four shoes, small enough to fit in the central 65 percent of the canvas width, with generous visible meadow on BOTH sides. Show all four shoes separately, without overlap or hiding. Create a clearly stylized 2D cartoon, not a realistic painted portrait. Use simplified large round heads, small compact bodies, dot-like simplified eyes inside recognizable glasses when present, a few lines for noses and smiles, and thick dark curved outlines around all facial features. Recognizability comes from face silhouette, hair, glasses, mustache and clothing colors, not realistic facial anatomy. Create exactly ONE finished illustration now. No explanation, code, variants or comparison panel. Aspect ratio: Output size 1080x1350 pixels, 4:5 portrait, Instagram standard..
Draw a joyful elderly couple enjoying the selected scene: "【Scene】". One fixed medium: original hand-painted editorial cartoon with rounded expressive faces, modestly oversized heads, lively curved ink contours, opaque gouache brush texture and layered scenic details. Affectionate, respectful, never mocking. Keep age lines and gray hair. Large equally important unobstructed faces, clear natural hands, complete bodies and feet safely inside the canvas. Fill the entire canvas with scenery, no empty poster margins, frame, mockup or collage.
PHOTO RULE: if a photograph is attached, preserve the two elderly adults' distinctive face shapes, eye spacing, noses, smiles, hairlines, hairstyles, glasses, skin tones, relative height and main clothing colors. Keep left/right identities consistent. Repaint every face in the same gouache cartoon medium; no pasted photographic skin, de-aging or generic replacement faces. Change pose and surroundings to the scene while keeping identity. If more than two people are visible, use the two central elderly adults. If only one is visible, preserve that adult and add one fictional elderly companion without claiming a real relationship. Without an attachment, create two entirely fictional elderly adults with distinct faces resembling no public figure. Never ask for a photograph. Stylization takes priority over photographic detail: redraw both faces as clearly simplified rounded cartoon shapes with bold curved ink outlines, broad opaque gouache color patches and only a few expressive age lines; retain identifying proportions and accessories, never photographic pores or realistic skin rendering. Make each head visibly oversized relative to its body. Frame the seated couple from farther away, keeping every shoe and the entire body within an inner safety area at least 8 percent from all canvas edges; fill that outer area with meadow scenery. Use diffuse overcast daylight without direct sun or hard shadows.
Scene mapping: Travel means a breezy coastal footpath, turquoise sea, bright morning light, both people laughing while holding a folded blank map together. Dance means an amber evening garden, a gentle playful dance with grounded comfortable steps, plum and coral accents, no audience. Picnic means a sage meadow with tiny wildflowers, a gingham blanket, a plain woven basket, both people seated sharing fruit in fresh overcast daylight. Empty scene defaults to Picnic. The medium stays identical; action, environment, light and palette change. Props remain secondary to the couple. All clothing and products are original generic designs.
No visible text, letters, numbers, captions, names, signatures, watermarks, logos, branded objects, existing characters, celebrity likenesses or imitation of a named artist. Do not print field values. Adapt composition to the selected ratio without cropping heads or feet. Return only one complete image.

How to use it · FAQ

A gift with familiar faces

Use a clear photo of both parents to create one affectionate gouache cartoon. Face shapes, gray hair, glasses, relative height and main clothing colors remain recognizable while the pose and surroundings change. Share it with family or use it as a personal gift image.

Send the photo and prompt together

Photo is an attachment reminder, not an upload control. Attach the actual file in your image AI and paste the finished prompt in the same message. No fields are mandatory. Without a photo, two fictional elderly adults are created. A group photo uses the two central elderly adults; a solo photo adds a fictional companion. A clear photograph of both intended people is best.

Choose the scene

Travel gives a turquoise coastal walk in morning light with a blank map. Dance gives a gentle garden dance in amber evening light with plum and coral accents. Picnic gives a sage meadow, blanket and shared fruit in soft daylight. Empty means Picnic. The cartoon medium stays the same. The default ratio is 4:5; the common ratio selector adjusts the composition. There is no inscription field and no lettering or numbers are added.

Compare before sharing

Check eye spacing, noses, jawlines, glasses, hair partings, main clothing colors and left/right identities against the photograph. Faces must be painted, not pasted photographs. Check hands and feet. Specify the exact changed feature when requesting a correction. The comparison examples use two different fictional couples in Travel and Dance. A separate pure example and separate cover use Picnic with different fictional couples. The example family is called Haru; the name is never printed.
