Turn a photo into a consistent illustrated style
Using the attached photo as the composition and subject reference, re-render it as an illustration.
Keep exactly: the subject's pose, the framing, the position of every major element, and the direction of the light.
Change to this style: flat editorial illustration, {{2-3 colour}} palette plus one neutral, shapes simplified to their silhouettes, no outlines, texture only from a single subtle paper grain, shadows as solid shapes rather than gradients, faces suggested with minimal features. Slightly reduce detail in the background so the subject reads instantly.
Strength: keep structural fidelity high — a viewer should recognise it as the same scene.
Negative: photorealism, added elements, changed pose, gradients, lens flare, text, watermark, extra limbs.
How to use it
Use image-to-image with denoise/strength around 0.5-0.65. Higher and it invents a new scene; lower and it just posterises the photo.
