Travel Scrapbook Chibi Collage Creator
Use the GPT Image 2 model to generate image. Prompt: Transform the uploaded travel photo into a playful travel scrapbook chibi collage while preserving the original photo as the base image. Keep the original photo recognizable and structurally intact. Preserve the main person's facial features, expression, body shape, pose, outfit, lighting, and real background. Do not replace the person, change their identity, redraw their face, or alter the actual travel setting. The edit should feel like illustration and scrapbook elements have been layered on top of a real photo. Add 4 to 7 cute chibi-style mini versions of the person from the uploaded photo. Each mini character should be based on the same person, keeping consistent facial traits, hairstyle, outfit details, and overall personality. Use big-head chibi proportions, lively expressions, refined details, and a light cartoon-rendered look. Make every mini character do a different natural travel action. Choose varied candid moments such as taking photos, walking while looking around, reading a map, checking navigation, pulling luggage, drinking coffee, gazing at scenery, posing near a landmark, crouching to notice flowers or street details, filming with a phone, having hair blown by the wind, looking around while slightly lost, or jumping happily. The poses should feel spontaneous and life-like, as if captured during a real trip, not staged. Overlay hand-drawn doodles, handwritten notes, and sticker-like details to create a relaxed travel journal scrapbook style. Use mainly white and soft pink accents, with slightly uneven hand-drawn lines. Include elements such as arrows, stars, hearts, sparkles, tiny airplanes, location pins, dashed route lines, hand-drawn circles, tape pieces, stickers, and small decorative marks. Add 3 to 6 short handwritten English phrases related to travel mood and memories. Vary the phrases each time instead of using a fixed set. Examples of the tone include: "go somewhere new", "chase the horizon", "little moments matter", "memory unlocked", "lost but happy", "soft days", "just wandering", "no plans, just go", "take it slow", "follow the sun", "breathe and see", "quiet joy", and "this feels right". Place the handwritten phrases near the person, mini characters, or travel actions so the text interacts naturally with the image. Avoid neat or formal typography. The writing should feel casual, personal, and spontaneously added to a travel journal. The final image should feel light, healing, airy, cute, and relaxed, with a sense of freedom and travel nostalgia. Keep a balanced mix of real photo and subtle illustration enhancement. The viewer should first recognize it as a real travel photo, then notice the charming chibi characters and scrapbook details. Ask the user to upload a photo of themselves as the main subject reference. Use the uploaded person as the basis for a travel scrapbook chibi collage, focusing on scrapbook layout, chibi doodles, sticker elements, and a playful travel-journal style. The user may also describe the travel moments to include, such as taking photos, drinking coffee, reading a map, or shopping.
Ukiyo-e Portrait Transformation
Using the provided reference image, transform the person into an Edo-period ukiyo-e / nishiki-e / kabuki actor portrait style while preserving the original pose, black bucket hat, hand-near-mouth gesture, and anonymous blurred face area. Replace the modern shirt with traditional layered kimono robes: a dark navy outer robe with two circular floral crests, a tan checked inner robe, and subtle reddish trim. Change the composition to a vertical close-up woodblock print on aged beige washi paper with visible grain, ink texture, worn edges, and muted traditional pigments. Add exactly 4 new decorative/background elements: 1 vertical title cartouche on the upper left with Japanese calligraphy reading 東都新賢似顔繪 (vertical title text), 1 red artist seal beneath it reading 豊國画 (seal text), and 2 stylized blue-gray Edo cloud motifs, one near the upper right and one along the left middle. Keep the face intentionally obscured with a soft rectangular blur matching the reference privacy treatment. Avoid photorealism, modern lighting, and extra text.38:T45f,Using the pr
