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 while transforming the image into a cartoon hero style. Maintain the child's recognizable identity, including their smile shape, eye expression, and distinctive facial proportions throughout the transformation.

TRANSFORMATION DESCRIPTION
Transform the child into a heroic cartoon character suitable for an animated adventure film. The character should appear as a brave young hero with a confident, joyful expression. Add subtle heroic elements such as a stylized cape, heroic costume elements, or adventure-themed accessories that complement the child's appearance without overwhelming their natural features. The transformation should maintain the child's age and innocence while giving them a powerful, heroic presence.

STYLE AND AESTHETIC PARAMETERS
- Art style: High-quality 3D animation style similar to Pixar or DreamWorks films, with smooth clean lines and expressive character design
- Lighting: Soft studio lighting with dramatic rim lighting to emphasize the heroic silhouette, warm and inviting atmosphere
- Color palette: Vibrant, saturated colors typical of animated films, with heroic color accents (deep blues, rich golds, or bold reds) that complement the child's skin tone
- Background: Clean gradient background or subtle adventure-themed environment that doesn't distract from the character
- Texture: Smooth skin with slight subsurface scattering effect, detailed hair strands, fabric textures on costume elements
- Expression: Confident, happy, and heroic facial expression that matches the child's natural emotion

TECHNICAL QUALITY PARAMETERS
- High resolution, 4K, detailed
- Sharp focus on face and eyes to maintain identity recognition
- Professional quality animation rendering with anti-aliasing
- Recommended aspect ratio: 1:1 (square) or 4:5 (portrait)
- Render quality: Cinematic, film-quality character design
- Skin texture: Maintains natural skin details while applying cartoon stylization

NEGATIVE PROMPT GUIDANCE
Avoid: distorted facial features, unrealistic proportions, blurry face, loss of likeness, unnatural skin texture, over-stylized features that obscure identity, poorly rendered eyes, asymmetrical facial features, mismatched skin tones, unnatural lighting, cartoon style that looks too simplistic or low-quality
