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 overall image into a specific anime style. The core identity must remain recognizable and true to the original subject.

TRANSFORMATION DESCRIPTION
Transform the photo into a high-quality anime illustration in the style of a modern, slice-of-life anime series. The character should appear as a relatable, everyday person in a casual setting. Apply clean, expressive anime line art and cel-shading techniques. The clothing should be adapted to a casual anime aesthetic (e.g., t-shirt, jeans, hoodie, or school uniform elements) that fits the person's body type naturally. The expression should be neutral or slightly smiling, fitting a daily life scenario.

STYLE AND AESTHETIC PARAMETERS
- Art Style: Modern anime style with semi-realistic proportions. Clean lines, vibrant but natural colors, and smooth shading. Avoid overly chibi or exaggerated cartoon styles unless specified. Think of a Studio Ghibli or Kyoto Animation aesthetic but for a modern setting.
- Lighting Conditions: Soft, natural lighting resembling a bright afternoon indoors or outdoors. Subtle rim lighting to separate the character from the background. No harsh shadows or dramatic noir lighting unless specified.
- Color Palette: Vibrant yet grounded color scheme typical of high-quality anime. Colors should complement the person's natural skin tone and hair color. Avoid neon or oversaturated colors.
- Background Treatment: A simple, blurred background depicting a casual setting like a classroom, park bench, or cozy room. The background should be out of focus (bokeh effect) to keep attention on the character.

TECHNICAL QUALITY PARAMETERS
- High resolution, 4K, detailed
- Sharp focus on face
- Professional quality
- Aspect ratio: 1:1 (square) or 9:16 (vertical) suitable for profile pictures
