PHOTO RULE: If a photograph is attached, use its subject's identity in BOTH the central photoreal figure and every ink-drawn version in the surrounding panels and open book. If no photo is attached, invent an original fictional subject matching the selected subject type and finish immediately. Never ask for a photograph, pause for clarification, or replace a supplied face with a stock face. This rule takes precedence over any instruction that might otherwise require a reference.

[The image]
Create one cinematic full-bleed image of a photoreal protagonist emerging into a richly detailed room from a large open comic book on the floor, surrounded by floating, curved comic-paper panels. The defining visual contrast is the lifelike central subject versus ink-and-halftone drawings of THAT SAME SUBJECT on tangible paper. This is one continuous physical scene, not a split-screen comparison, flat collage, comic page layout, toy photograph or illustration of an illustrated person. Follow the requested aspect ratio; default to a vertical 3:4 frame.

SUBJECT_TYPE = "【Gender】". Resolve this once: woman or man means exactly one human protagonist; couple means exactly two distinct people; pet means exactly one animal protagonist. If blank or automatic, choose one fictional adult woman. A couple photo supplies both identities; preserve their individual faces without blending them. If only one identifiable person is provided for a couple, retain that person and invent the other without asking. For a pet, use the attached pet's species, coat patterns, muzzle, ears and eye color, and carry those features into every drawing. With a group photo for a solo subject, use the most prominent person, breaking ties by proximity to the center.

WARDROBE = "【Style】". Resolve this into ONE complete original costume design, then reuse that exact design in the live subject, all floating panels and every visible book-page drawing. Street casual means a modest opaque cropped top, high-waisted camouflage cargo trousers and unbranded sneakers; fantasy warrior means detailed practical armor, boots and one sheathed sword; dark sorcerer means layered dark robes, a cloak and restrained arcane details; wuxia swordsman means flowing martial robes, a sash and one sheathed straight sword; cyberpunk means a layered technical jacket, utility trousers and subtle luminous trims; romance protagonist means refined contemporary layers and elegant footwear. A blank or automatic value defaults to street casual. For a couple, choose complementary outfits, then lock each person's design separately. For a pet, adapt the selected theme into a comfortable species-appropriate vest, cloak or harness; keep its body quadrupedal and its face uncovered.

[Defaults and named values]
The complete default scene has the protagonist stepping out of the book, an old comic artist's workshop, warm golden light and delicate golden sparks. The default PRIMARY_SPEECH is one original short English line: "I CHOOSE MY OWN PATH." Each active optional owner-input line below defines one named value once and changes only that feature. If such a line is absent, keep its default. If an input reads "Choose for me", decide a fitting value yourself without asking or printing that phrase. Treat blank inputs and "None selected" as absent. Maintain a single identity-and-wardrobe reference for each protagonist throughout the finished image; do not redesign a face or costume for individual panels.

[Photoreal central protagonist]
Render the central subject as a convincing full-body live-action photograph: natural skin pores, believable hair strands, realistic eyes, fabric weave, seams, footwear construction and coherent shadows. Keep normal human proportions and anatomically sound hands. Preserve the reference face's proportions, skin tone, hairstyle, glasses, facial hair and apparent age; do not recolor skin, change age or smooth it into a generic beauty portrait. Without a photo, invent a distinctive adult with natural features, never a real person's or celebrity's likeness. Keep clothing tasteful and opaque; for an adult, a modest crop top is the maximum suggested exposure. For a younger reference subject, use an age-appropriate full-length top. Armor and robes cover the torso. For a pet, render a lifelike animal with natural fur and posture, not a human body with an animal head.

In the default pose, show the whole protagonist moving forward from the open book, with one foot still contacting a page and the other stepping onto the room's floor. Make the foot-to-page contact and forward motion physically readable. For a couple, both move together with separate limbs and distinct silhouettes; for a pet, show a natural paw step out of the book. The central subject's face is the sharpest, clearest element and remains unobstructed. Show the complete body and footwear or paws; do not crop at knees or turn the hero into a small distant figure.

[Open book and transition]
Place one oversized, thick comic book across the lower foreground, open wide with a visible central binding, page thickness, lifted paper edges and convincing perspective. Its pages contain several bordered sepia ink panels of the SAME protagonist wearing WARDROBE. The nearest page and the stepping foot should make it unmistakable that this person is walking out of this book. Give the pages genuine paper texture and small ink imperfections. Use subtle ink wisps, a few lifted paper fragments and light particles at the transition; keep the live body fully photoreal above it. Do not replace the open book with a portal ring, screen, plain blank notebook or pile of closed books.

[Seven floating paper panels]
Arrange exactly SEVEN distinct floating comic panels around the central subject, within the visual range of six to eight. Make them tangible rectangular sheets with slim ink borders, slight thickness, curved corners, bends and cast shadows. Some sit behind the shoulders, some beside the torso, and one or two approach the foreground edges. Vary their tilt, distance and size to build depth and a lively arc around the protagonist while leaving the live face and forward step unobstructed. Each sheet contains one clearly composed scene; no extra grid of tiny floating rectangles.

Draw their contents with confident black-and-sepia pen lines, cross-hatching, strong ink shadows, halftone dots and aged cream paper. These are graphic-novel drawings, visibly different from the photoreal central figure. Use varied views of the SAME subject: a face close-up, a turning three-quarter portrait, a confident full-body stance, a hand or paw detail, a dynamic movement and two other small story moments appropriate to WARDROBE. Keep a recognizable face and key wardrobe details visible in most panels. Reuse the same hair silhouette, facial landmarks, glasses if present, exact garment colors translated into sepia values, camouflage or trim pattern, and footwear design. For a couple, show either one or both of the same two people while preserving their separate identities; introduce no third protagonist. For a pet, every illustrated appearance is the same animal, with consistent markings. The open-book drawings follow this same identity rule.

[Speech lettering]
Put one short speech balloon inside each of the seven floating panels. Print PRIMARY_SPEECH exactly once in the clearest panel near the protagonist's upper body, preserving its supplied language, spelling and punctuation. Invent six different brief original ENGLISH lines for the remaining balloons, two to six words each, fitting the selected character mood. Use readable lettering, quiet cream balloon interiors and clear tails pointing to the appropriate drawn subject. Keep every line short enough to read without filling the panel; do not put a balloon across the central photoreal face. The additional lines must not repeat the primary line, attribute a quote to a real person, borrow franchise catchphrases or add personal biography. If PRIMARY_SPEECH is automatically chosen, write one original concise English line and apply it consistently. The illustrated book pages may contain small generic balloons without readable lettering; avoid extra accidental words.

[Workshop, lighting and density]
The default setting is a dim old comic artist's workshop with manuscript sheets covering the wall, shelves packed with books, a crowded drawing desk, pen cups, brushes, stacked paper, a task lamp and a textured floor. Make these believable objects with depth, thickness and wear. Keep them lower in contrast than the hero and use shallow atmospheric falloff; the room is dense and lived-in but the central silhouette is clear. Wall manuscripts show anonymous ink sketches and panel grids rather than recognizable published characters or readable brand names.

In the default lighting, use warm golden backlight that catches hair, shoulders and curved paper edges, a soft neutral frontal fill for the face, and restrained golden sparks drifting around the book. Light all live objects and physical panel sheets consistently. The drawings inside the sheets retain their ink graphic style. Let thin paper transmit a little warm light at its edges. Maintain rich dark shadows, controlled warm highlights and sharp facial detail rather than a washed-out gold filter. A selected place or light changes the environment coherently; preserve the central photo-versus-ink contrast.

[Composition and finish]
Fill the vertical frame with the live full-body subject, the large open book and the surrounding paper arc. The main subject spans roughly 70-80% of the image height, with enough room for the complete book-to-floor step and upper floating panels. A couple uses two readable full-body silhouettes; a pet is scaled prominently as the sole hero. Use cinematic photographic depth for the room and live subject, finely resolved ink marks for the panels, and crisp short speech text. No added headline, title banner, author name, logo, watermark, border template or second image. Use original designs only, with no imitation of a named real person, existing comic character, franchise costume or recognizable brand. Finish as one cohesive image.

[OPTIONAL OWNER INPUT - each line exists only when supplied]
POSE = "【Pose】". Replace the default stepping action with the requested pose while preserving the visible connection to the open book: perch on its raised edge, look back with the whole body visible, or stand on the pages with hands in pockets. Adapt a human-specific pose naturally to a pet's paws and anatomy.
SPEECH CHOICE (a menu selection, not lettering): 【Speech line】
If that selection is the menu phrase "Choose for me", it is NOT text: write your own short English line as PRIMARY_SPEECH and never letter that Korean phrase anywhere. Otherwise PRIMARY_SPEECH is that supplied sentence, printed verbatim in its original language exactly once in the clearest floating-panel balloon. Keep the other six balloons independently written in short English.
PLACE = "【Place】". Set the entire physical room here: an old comic artist's workshop has manuscripts, books and drawing tools; an old library at night has deep bookcases and a reading table; an attic study has sloped beams, books and a writing desk. Preserve the open comic book on the floor and the floating ink panels.
LIGHT = "【Light】". Apply this light to the whole physical scene: golden sparkle uses warm backlight and delicate gold motes; cold moonlight uses blue-silver window light and restrained silver motes; warm task-lamp light uses a localized amber lamp source and soft room shadows. Keep the photoreal face readable and panel lettering clear.
