Animated Shadow — Human × Sketch

SUBJECT: [NAME / MALE or FEMALE] SIGNATURE: [SIGNATURE TEXT] Use the uploaded photo as the ORIGINAL SUBJECT and ONLY identity reference. Preserve the exact recognizable identity with ZERO identity drift. The final person must clearly remain the SAME PERSON, including facial structure, eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, jawline, skin tone, apparent age, hairstyle or natural baldness, gender, proportions, and distinctive facial features. Create a premium surreal fashion editorial portrait inspired by the reference image. Place the SUBJECT standing naturally against a minimalist raw concrete architectural wall. Directly beside the real person, create a large hand-drawn monochrome cartoon/illustration of the SAME PERSON, appearing as though their animated shadow has come to life. The illustrated counterpart must unmistakably resemble the real subject, matching: - Facial characteristics - Hairstyle or baldness - Clothing silhouette - Body proportions - Overall pose and orientation The real subject and illustrated counterpart should interact naturally, creating a sophisticated human-versus-illustration visual narrative. The cartoon version may make a playful, expressive gesture while the real person maintains a natural, confident editorial pose. FOR FEMALE: elegant, modest contemporary fashion with a refined feminine silhouette. FOR MALE: refined masculine casualwear with a strong, natural silhouette. Visual Direction Bright natural sunlight falling across the architecture and subject, realistic architectural shadows, subtle warm daylight, clean raw-concrete texture, sophisticated minimalist composition, premium editorial photography. The cartoon counterpart should be rendered in monochrome charcoal-gray, with subtle hand-drawn ink lines, visible sketch texture, expressive cartoon details, and an authentic illustrated-on-wall appearance. Keep the illustration artistic and slightly imperfect rather than digitally sterile. The real person must remain fully photorealistic, sharply focused, naturally textured, and seamlessly integrated with the illustrated counterpart. Style: high-end fashion editorial, sophisticated surrealism, contemporary art photography, photorealistic subject + hand-drawn illustration, cinematic natural lighting, realistic textures, premium magazine aesthetic. Composition: full/three-quarter vertical portrait, balanced negative space, subject and illustration clearly visible, believable interaction between the two, clean visual hierarchy. Aspect Ratio: 4:5 vertical Focus: sharp subject, controlled background detail, realistic depth and shadows. Identity Priority: Identity accuracy > facial resemblance > natural anatomy > clothing > illustration styling > background effects. Do not: alter identity, change facial structure, beautify into a different person, change ethnicity, change age, add facial hair unless present in the reference, remove natural baldness, duplicate the real person, create extra limbs/fingers, distort anatomy, or introduce unnecessary objects. Add ONLY the signature "[SIGNATURE TEXT]" discreetly at the bottom-left corner. No other text, logos, captions, typography, watermark, or graphic elements. Insert discreet watermark in the lower right corner of the image, vertical text (rotated 90°), written "aipromptlabs.online", Calibri Light font, white color with low opacity (semi-transparent), medium size. Extreme sharpness on the face, fabric texture and typography of the letters. Shot on Canon EOS R5, 50mm f/2.8, studio light.
