"Transform this image into an illustration in the style of Kyoto Animation (KyoAni), inspired by series like Violet Evergarden or Clannad. Use clean, elegant linework and a soft, luminous color palette with subtle gradients. Render the character with delicate, expressive features - large, glistening eyes full of emotion, fine strands of hair with layered highlights, and a gentle, melancholic expression. Background should resemble a hand-painted watercolor or digital painting with atmospheric lighting - focus on natural beauty (sunlight through leaves, glowing reflections, quiet interiors). Avoid hard shadows; use soft shading and warm light blooms. The overall tone should be emotionally restrained, almost poetic - a moment of stillness suspended in beauty."---From OscarAI

Prompt:

"Transform this image into a stylized mechanical design sheet inspired by Japanese anime mecha blueprints. Render the subject with precise, clean linework and semi-realistic cel-shading, as if it were a technical illustration from an anime artbook. Break down the design into parts (e.g. head, hand, accessory, full body) and arrange them like a reference sheet, with different angles and views. Include soft handwritten notes or Japanese characters scattered like concept annotations. Use muted digital colors (red, gray, metallic tones) and draw the background in a loose watercolor anime landscape style - cliffs, cityscapes, or grassland ruins. The final composition should feel like an official design page for an animated sci-fi series or manga. Keep the format horizontal, like a blueprint or character sheet, with a balance between precision and artistic flair."---From OscarAI

Prompt:

"Transform this image into a 1990s OVA fantasy anime style. Use bold cel shading with dramatic hard shadows, detailed character design with capes, swords or armor, and backgrounds painted in moody, atmospheric tones. The lighting should be intense and theatrical, with compositions that feel epic or tragic. The final image should look like a frame from a serious fantasy anime OVA from the 90s."---From OscarAI

Prompt:

"A hyper-dynamic anime illustration in the style of Studio Bones (My Hero Academia), with sharp clean outlines, dramatic lighting, and intense cel shading. The character is mid-action, striking a powerful pose with motion blur and speed lines, glowing energy effects around their fists. Background is slightly blurred with light flares and debris. Cinematic, expressive, modern action anime aesthetic." ---From OscarAI

Prompt:

"Transform this image into a Sci-fi Space Opera Anime-style illustration, inspired by classic series like Legend of the Galactic Heroes and Macross. Redesign the character with a futuristic military uniform: high-collared coat or cape, epaulets, medals or insignias, and refined tailoring. Hair should be styled elegantly or formally, evoking aristocratic or disciplined aesthetics. The background should depict a grand sci-fi setting: the bridge of a battleship, a galactic war map, or a vast fleet of spaceships drifting through the stars. Use deep space tones - steel blue, silver, dark navy, crimson highlights - with dramatic lighting and subtle starfield glows. Apply cel-shaded rendering with cinematic shadows and reflective surfaces, evoking a solemn, strategic, and epic atmosphere. The final image should resemble a frame from a serious, politically charged space anime OVA from the late 80s or early 90s - detailed, majestic, and emotionally intense." ---From OscarAI

Prompt:

"Transform this image into an over-the-top anime illustration in the style of Trigger / Gainax. Use exaggerated expressions, wild motion lines, and hyperdynamic poses. The anatomy should be fluid and distorted for emphasis - limbs stretching or snapping into action. Add speed lines, explosive backgrounds, and dramatic lighting effects. Integrate onomatopoeia or stylized text for extra chaos. Colors should be bold, saturated, and contrasting. The result should feel like a freeze frame from Kill la Kill or FLCL, mid-action, full of energy and visual impact." ---From OscarAI

Prompt:

"Transform this image into a Studio Ghibli-inspired anime-style illustration. Maintain the core elements of the original scene, but reimagine it with the signature Ghibli aesthetic-soft, hand-painted textures, warm and vibrant colors, and a whimsical, dreamlike atmosphere. Characters should have expressive eyes, delicate facial features, and natural, fluid poses. Scenes should be lush and detailed, with an emphasis on light and shadow to create depth and emotion. The overall mood should feel nostalgic, serene, and slightly magical, as if it belongs in a classic Ghibli film like 'My Neighbor Totoro' or 'Spirited Away.' Ensure that all elements are cohesive with traditional 2D animation styles, using soft, painterly shading and intricate details." ---From neural nets.
