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 an anime character. Keep the likeness highly recognizable and maintain natural facial proportions.

TRANSFORMATION DESCRIPTION:
Transform the subject into a Scout Regiment soldier from the anime 'Attack on Titan' (Shingeki no Kyojin). The person should be wearing the iconic Survey Corps uniform: a brown cropped jacket with the 'Wings of Freedom' emblem on the back, a white shirt with a cravat, vertical maneuvering gear equipment including the 3D maneuver gear harness, belts, and blades strapped to the hips. The character should have a determined, heroic expression suitable for a Titan combatant. The hair should be styled in a messy, windswept anime fashion, potentially slightly longer, matching the series' aesthetic. If the user has short hair, it can be stylized to look dynamic and wind-blown.

STYLE AND AESTHETIC PARAMETERS:
- Art Style: High-quality anime art style, reminiscent of WIT Studio or MAPPA animation. Semi-realistic anime rendering with detailed line work and cel-shading.
- Lighting: Dramatic, cinematic lighting with strong rim lighting from behind to create a heroic silhouette. Soft key light on the face to highlight features. Slightly desaturated color grading to match the anime's atmosphere.
- Color Palette: Earthy tones for the uniform (browns, greens, greys), with the bright blue sky or a cloudy, ominous sky in the background. The 'Wings of Freedom' emblem should be prominently visible in gold/yellow.
- Background: Dynamic background showing either a blurred cityscape, ruined buildings, or open sky with clouds, conveying motion and action. Motion blur effects on the background to simulate speed.
- Texture: Clean anime lines, smooth shading, high detail on the uniform and equipment.

TECHNICAL QUALITY PARAMETERS:
- High resolution, 4K, detailed, 8K
- Sharp focus on face, with background slightly blurred (bokeh effect)
- Professional quality, masterpiece
- Cinematic composition, rule of thirds
- Aspect ratio: 16:9 (cinematic) or 9:16 (portrait for mobile)
