Prompt
Use the uploaded photo as the reference for the pet. Preserve its breed, coat colour and texture, markings, eye colour, ear shape and body proportions as closely as the model permits; check the result against the reference. Scene: a sofa or bed at night, the pet wrapped in a chunky cream knit blanket, warm fairy lights draped loosely around and behind. Moment or Pose: curled up with only the head peeking out, sleepy half-closed eyes or a gentle look at the camera. Light: warm fairy-light glow as the main source, round bokeh in the background, soft light on the face. Camera: 50mm lens at f/1.8, focus on the eyes, shallow depth of field. Style: cosy lifestyle photograph, warm amber tones, soft film grain. Format: vertical 4:5. Avoid: lights wrapped around the pet's neck or body, cables in the mouth, changed markings, extra paws, text, watermarks.
