Prompt #2: Nintendo‑Inspired 3D Cartoon Illustration

Use case

Turn a photo or simple idea into a Nintendo‑style 3D cartoon illustration, perfect for banners, thumbnails, game concepts, or fun character art.

Prompt：

Transform this image into a Nintendo-inspired 3D cartoon style illustration.
Use soft, rounded 3D shapes and clean, toy-like geometry to give the characters and objects a charming, handcrafted look.
Characters should have exaggerated, childlike proportions (large heads, small limbs), with expressive, simplified faces and bright, colorful clothing — similar to designs seen in Zelda: Link’s Awakening, Animal Crossing, or Miitopia.
Apply smooth, matte textures with no realistic detail — everything should look cheerful and slightly plastic, as if sculpted from soft clay or digital vinyl.
The environment should be bright and whimsical, with stylized grass, puffy clouds, geometric trees, and soft lighting like a sunny afternoon.
The overall tone should be lighthearted, clean, and family-friendly, like a frame from a Nintendo fantasy adventure game.

Tips:

• With reference images, mention things like “keep the same pose and composition” to stay close to the original.
• Avoid asking for ultra‑realistic details; emphasize soft, toy‑like 3D shapes and matte textures for a true Nintendo feel.
• Keep the tone light, clean, family‑friendly to match Nintendo’s style.

Example

Prompt #3: Cinematic Storyboard Grid (Alpine Portrait Series)

Use case

Generate a cinematic storyboard / contact sheet: 9 panels of the same character in a coherent story world, great for moodboards, film concepts, photo series ideas, or social media carousels.

Prompt

A 3x3 cinematic storyboard contact sheet consisting of 9 distinct panels arranged in a grid. The sequence features a young woman with platinum blonde hair in a frozen alpine winter setting.
The panels display various angles and shots:
Close-ups: Focusing on her rosy cheeks, blue-grey eyes, and snowflakes on her eyelashes.
Medium shots: Showing her wrapped in a black wool coat and blue knit scarf, holding a bouquet of dried white flowers.
Wide shots: Capturing her standing alone on the frozen lake with towering snowy mountains in the background.
The lighting is consistent moody blue-hour twilight across all frames. High-quality film photography aesthetic, photorealistic, 8k resolution, coherent character and color grading.

Suggested variations

• Change the location theme: desert road trip, rainy city at night, neon alley, autumn forest.
• Change the character: different gender, age, style (streetwear, vintage, fantasy).
• Change the story tone: melancholic, adventurous, romantic, mysterious, thriller.

Tips

• With reference photos, mention “same character across all panels” to maintain identity.
• Keep lighting description consistent (e.g. “blue‑hour twilight”, “golden hour”) so the grid feels like one scene.
