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 them into a cartoon character. Keep the child's recognizable identity intact, maintaining their natural expression and personal charm.

TRANSFORMATION DESCRIPTION:
Transform the child into an original cartoon character in a vibrant animated movie style. The character should wear age-appropriate cartoon clothing (like a simple t-shirt and shorts or a playful dress) that matches the cartoon aesthetic. Add subtle cartoon-style accessories if appropriate (a small hat, a simple backpack, or a friendly animal companion nearby). The overall look should be whimsical and magical, as if the child is the star of their own animated adventure.

STYLE AND AESTHETIC PARAMETERS:
- Art style: High-quality 2D/3D hybrid animation style similar to modern Disney or Pixar films - smooth lines, expressive features, soft shading
- Lighting: Soft, cinematic lighting with warm golden hour glow, gentle rim lighting to separate character from background
- Color palette: Vibrant and saturated cartoon colors, with complementary tones that enhance the child's natural features
- Character rendering: Smooth skin texture with subtle cartoon pores, expressive eyes with highlights, soft rounded features
- Background: Whimsical animated background - could be a magical forest, sunny meadow, or dreamy sky with soft clouds, keeping the focus on the character
- Clothing: Cartoon-appropriate outfit that matches the animation style, with fabric textures that look stylized but natural

TECHNICAL QUALITY PARAMETERS:
- High resolution, 4K, detailed
- Sharp focus on face and eyes
- Professional quality animation rendering
- Clean lines and smooth color gradients
- Aspect ratio: 1:1 (square) for best character portrait composition
- No artifacts or AI glitches
- Natural skin texture preserved under cartoon styling

NEGATIVE PROMPT GUIDANCE:
Avoid: distorted facial features, unrealistic proportions, blurry face, loss of likeness, uncanny valley effect, mismatched skin tones, unnatural eye positioning, poor line quality, inconsistent art style, low resolution artifacts, over-exaggerated features, adult proportions on child, inappropriate content

ADDITIONAL TIPS:
- For best results, use a well-lit photo where the child's face is clearly visible
- You can specify a particular cartoon style in the customization section (e.g., "like Frozen style" or "like Spider-Verse style")
- Mention favorite colors or themes in {additional_context} for personalized character design
- The prompt works best with photos where the child is looking toward the camera
