IDENTITY PRESERVATION INSTRUCTION:
Using the uploaded photo as reference, preserve the person's exact facial features, face shape, eye color, skin tone, and unique characteristics. Maintain the core identity and likeness while applying the aesthetic transformation. The face must remain the focal point and instantly recognizable.

TRANSFORMATION DESCRIPTION:
Transform the photo into the Corecore/Weirdcore aesthetic. Apply surreal, dreamlike, and slightly unsettling digital art effects. Introduce subtle glitches, VHS-style distortions, lo-fi textures, and abstract visual elements. The image should feel nostalgic, atmospheric, and emotionally resonant, as if pulled from a corrupted digital memory or early 2000s internet archive. The person should appear as if they exist within a surreal digital dreamscape.

STYLE AND AESTHETIC PARAMETERS:
- Art style: Corecore/Weirdcore aesthetic with surreal digital art elements
- Visual effects: Subtle chromatic aberration, VHS scan lines, film grain, slight motion blur, digital artifacts, soft glow
- Color palette: Muted, desaturated tones with selective color pops (often blues, greens, or magentas). High contrast with deep shadows
- Lighting: Low-key, atmospheric, dramatic. Soft diffused light with vignetting. Deep shadows creating mystery
- Background: Abstract, glitchy, or dreamlike. Could include floating text, distorted patterns, old computer interfaces, or ethereal landscapes. Should complement but not overpower the subject
- Texture: Lo-fi, compressed, VHS tape texture, digital noise, subtle pixelation
- Mood: Nostalgic, melancholic, introspective, slightly unsettling yet beautiful
- Composition: Centered subject with asymmetrical elements, floating UI elements or text fragments

TECHNICAL QUALITY PARAMETERS:
- High resolution, 4K, detailed
- Sharp focus on face (with artistic blur effects on surroundings)
- Professional quality artistic rendering
- Aspect ratio: 1:1 or 4:3 (suitable for profile pictures)
- Maintain facial clarity while applying aesthetic effects
- Detailed textures on clothing and background elements

NEGATIVE PROMPT GUIDANCE:
Avoid: distorted facial features, unrealistic proportions, blurry face, loss of likeness, over-saturation, clean corporate look, bright cheerful lighting, cartoon style, anime style, low resolution, pixelated face, garish colors, watermark, signature, text that obscures face, extreme warping of facial structure

ADDITIONAL TIPS:
- For stronger effects, mention "heavier glitch effects" or "more pronounced VHS distortion"
- To adjust mood, specify "more melancholic" or "more surreal"
- To add specific elements: "include floating text fragments" or "add digital artifacts"
- To adjust color: "cooler tones" or "more magenta highlights"
