Make me into a character from a modern anime series, using the attached selfie as the reference. Same face shape, hairstyle and skin tone, but drawn with clean cel shading, confident ink outlines, large glossy eyes with layered highlights and individual strands of hair catching the light. Stand them against a bright summer sky with drifting clouds and a few cherry petals, vivid saturated palette, slight wind in the hair. Vertical 9:16, looks like a real anime frame, not a photo filter.

Round soft features, big sparkling eyes with bright highlights, smooth skin with a gentle glow, and the same hairstyle and face shape so friends would still know it is me. Pose them mid-laugh in a warm sunlit storybook town with pastel rooftops and a blurred painted background, soft studio-style lighting, rich saturated colour. Vertical 9:16, one character only.

Draw the person in the attached photo as the hero on a printed comic book page. Keep the face and hair recognisably theirs, but render it with thick black ink outlines, cross-hatched shadows, visible halftone dots and flat primary colours of red, yellow and blue.

Claymation: AI Cartoon & Art Styles photo effect

Rebuild the person in my attached photo as a handmade claymation figure. Same face shape, hairstyle and skin tone, sculpted from soft plasticine with visible thumbprints, tool marks and slightly chunky rounded proportions.

Vertical 9:16, one figure.

Pixel Art: AI Cartoon & Art Styles photo effect

Convert me from the attached photo into a 16-bit pixel art character, as if I were the hero of an old arcade game. Keep my hair colour, skin tone, glasses or beard and main features readable in chunky square pixels with a limited bright palette, dithered shading and dark outlines. Stand me in a side-scrolling forest level with parallax hills, a glowing CRT feel and faint scanlines. Vertical 9:16, crisp pixels with no smoothing.

Watercolor Storybook: AI Cartoon & Art Styles photo effect

Paint the person in my attached photo as an illustration from a children's picture book. Their face and hair stay recognisable, rendered in loose watercolour washes with delicate pencil linework and soft bleeding edges. They sit in a meadow of wildflowers beside a small stream, warm late afternoon light, a pale cream paper texture showing through the colour, a gentle nostalgic mood. Vertical 9:16, muted pastels, no text.

Vintage Toon: AI Cartoon & Art Styles photo effect

Draw me, from the attached photo, as a 1930s rubber-hose cartoon character. Keep my hairstyle and the main features of my face, but give me noodle-thin bendy arms and legs, pie-cut eyes, white gloves and bold simple inking. Black and white with a warm sepia tint, old film grain, flickering vignette and a few scratches, dancing on a simple barn stage with a bouncing beat. Vertical 9:16, one character.

Pop Art: AI Cartoon & Art Styles photo effect

Turn my attached photo into a 1960s style screen-print pop art portrait. My face stays recognisable, simplified into flat blocks of hot pink, turquoise, yellow and black with a heavy outline and coarse halftone dots in the shadows. Hard-edged posterised shading, a plain bright coloured background, and slight misregistration between the colour layers like a real print run. Vertical 9:16, looks like a gallery poster, no lettering.

Flat Cartoon: AI Cartoon & Art Styles photo effect

Make the person in the attached photo into a character from a modern flat-vector TV cartoon. Their face, hairstyle and skin tone stay recognisable, but simplified with thick clean outlines, solid colour fills, minimal shading and slightly exaggerated proportions. Show them waving in front of a bright, simple suburban street with a blue sky and a couple of round trees, cheerful palette, no gradients. Vertical 9:16, graphic and clean like an animation cel.

3D Caricature: AI Cartoon & Art Styles photo effect

Sculpt a playful 3D caricature of the person in my attached photo. The head is much bigger than the body, with the same distinctive features pushed further for fun: the real nose, smile, hair and eyebrows exaggerated but obviously mine. Semi-realistic skin with pores, a big friendly grin, a tiny body in my usual clothes, glossy studio lighting against a plain pastel backdrop. Vertical 9:16, funny but kind, one figure.

Manga: AI Cartoon & Art Styles photo effect

Redraw me from the attached selfie as a page from a black and white manga. Same face and hairstyle, with sharp ink linework, screentone dot shading, big expressive eyes and dramatic speed lines radiating behind me as I look back over my shoulder. Strict monochrome, high contrast, a rooftop at sunset suggested with a few tone patterns and a flock of birds. Vertical 9:16, panel border visible, no speech bubbles or text.

Cyberpunk Neon: AI Cartoon & Art Styles photo effect

Place the person in my attached photo in a rain-soaked cyberpunk city at night. Their face stays exactly recognisable while magenta and cyan neon light rakes across one cheek, with wet reflections on a dark jacket with a faint holographic trim. Behind, out-of-focus signs in invented lettering, steam from a street vent and glowing puddles, shot like an 85mm portrait. Vertical 9:16, moody and cinematic, no readable brand names.

Ukiyo-e Woodblock: AI Cartoon & Art Styles photo effect

Reimagine the person in my attached photo as a traditional Japanese woodblock print. Keep their hairstyle and the main features of the face, drawn with flowing carved outlines, flat muted pigments in indigo, vermilion and ochre, and visible wood grain in the paper. Seat them in a kimono-style robe beside a great stylised wave and drifting clouds, with a simple red seal in the corner and no readable writing. Vertical 9:16.
