ImageS.026 · Paper Figures
Extend a photo of a person, animal, plant, building, object, or landscape into a vertical 2:3 story illustration blending photography and hand drawing. The work preserves the subject’s identity, key details, and original character, allowing its real contours, textures, colors, and spatial relationships to naturally grow into fine-line drawings on warm ivory paper—not a frame, filter, or collage effect. The photo and line art connect within the same scene to form a complete, cohesive visual world. You can also provide a theme or story direction, allowing paths, branches, buildings, props, people, or animals to unfold around the subject and interact with it meaningfully through touching, supporting, passing through, repairing, protecting, and more. Delicate dark brown or charcoal lines, restrained stippling and hatching, and accent colors drawn from the original photo work together to create a controlled yet narrative paper atmosphere. Ideal for photo-and-drawing composites, picture-book-style portraits, animal and nature stories, extended travel landscapes, and visually memorable works with a strong theme. The final output is a finished illustration with a clear subject, balanced composition, and edges that blend naturally into the whole scene.
ImagePhoto Second World Posters
Upload an ordinary photo, and the skill will identify its most distinctive “physical visual structure”—not just the subject—then extend it into a second world. The real-photo area stays 100% faithful, preserving the original colors, lighting, and texture without recoloring or redrawing, and occupies the main part of the composition, about two-thirds of the image. The other section naturally grows from a warm cream paper background in soft watercolor or minimal black line art, creating an organic blend where the real and illustrated areas flow into each other rather than meeting at a clear dividing line. The poster also includes one minimal line-art figure interacting with the structure and a short handwritten note, resulting in a creative poster with the feel of an independent art magazine or photobook. It supports five approaches: torn-paper extension, watercolor second world, photo × minimal black lines, soft-edge blending, and turning objects into pictures. The workflow has two steps: review and confirm the creative concept first, then generate the image by feeding the real style anchor image into the image-generation model and checking each element. The skill includes five built-in style anchor images.
ImageReal-Person Doodle Portrait
Blend your real-person photo into a room or scene drawn with bold hand-drawn lines, creating a creative portrait that places a real person alongside a doodle environment. The person retains realistic photographic texture, facial features, clothing, and lighting, while the environment uses monochrome marker sketches to outline furniture, walls, and spatial contours. The result creates a striking visual effect of a “real person floating in a line-art world,” making it suitable for profile pictures, social cards, and stylized portrait artwork. You can upload a headshot, half-body photo, or full-body photo, then describe the living room, bedroom, study, café, studio, balcony, or other scene you want, along with the person’s clothing, pose, and expression. If you only have a headshot, the image can complete the body and place it in the specified space. If the original photo already includes a real environment, you can also keep the person unchanged while converting the background furniture, floor, walls, or street scene into a simple doodle line drawing, while maintaining the original composition. Deep ocean blue, burgundy, charcoal black, and other line-art colors are supported, with suitable aspect ratios matched to indoor portraits, open outdoor scenes, sports, or spacious environments. The setting will not be filled with excessive detail. Instead, it selects a few key objects and preserves negative space, making the contrast between the real person and the hand-drawn room clearer and more thoughtfully designed.
