Prompt
Use the uploaded photo as the reference for everyone in it. Preserve each person's recognisable face, natural skin tone, hairline and body proportions as closely as the model permits; check the result against the reference. Keep each person's hairstyle, face shape, glasses and age recognisable in the stylised version. Scene: a picnic mat under a large shady tree on a gentle grassy slope near a lake, tall summer clouds in a bright sky. Pose: everyone seated close together, sharing a tiffin of sandwiches and cut fruit, with natural, relaxed expressions. Clothing: the outfits from the photo, simplified into clean shapes. Light: bright summer afternoon with dappled shade under the leaves. Style: original hand-painted anime-inspired illustration, soft cel shading, painterly grass and clouds, warm nostalgic mood. Do not imitate any specific studio, film or character. Format: horizontal 3:2 Avoid: adding or removing people, copying known characters, oversized eyes that change identity, extra fingers, text, logos, watermarks.
