Pop cartoon character

Change the subject; keep the visual rules.

Shape & line: Combine a large head and eyes with a small body and thick consistent black outlines.
Color & light: Fill shapes with three or four vivid flat colors such as pink, mint and violet.
Texture: Use clean 2D cel fills with a single shadow step.
Composition: Use a compact expressive pose with simple stars or circles to suggest movement.

Priority
Expression and silhouette → bold outline → vivid color planes

What to avoid & what to check

Reduce realistic proportions, complex joints and soft 3D gradients.

Check that the expression and pose read immediately in a small thumbnail.

Exact prompt for this example

Exact prompt · Original

Create a finished square reference illustration of an original small superhero with a violet bob haircut, mint-green jumpsuit, coral boots and a small orange visor, a bold 2D cartoon rendering reminiscent of The Powerpuff Girls: oversized round heads and enormous expressive eyes, very thick clean black outlines, tiny simplified bodies, strong geometric silhouettes, flat saturated color fills, almost no shading, crisp cel-animation shapes, one readable full-body pose against a simple graphic backdrop. A single front three-quarter full-body hero pose with both feet visible, hands on hips, a confident smile, on a pale cream background with two large flat circular shapes. Keep the character dominant and uncluttered. Use clean flat 2D cel animation, not a 3D render. No text, logos or watermark.

Cat detective

Style average 4.5/5

Subject & framing · Matched
The requested subject and arrangement are identifiable.

Large eyes, small body and bold lines hold consistently. Color variation on the lens and coat is softer than fully flat cel fills.

Evidence by criterion

Shape & line · 5/5: Large head and eyes and small body are separated by thick black outlines.
Color & light · 4/5: Pink, mint and violet dominate, with added cyan lens and cream fur.
Texture · 4/5: Shadow shapes are simple, but hat, lens and coat retain soft tonal variation.
Composition · 5/5: Full-body pose, tilted head and circle/star backdrop make the detective action readable.

Exact prompt

Illustrate an original cat detective with oversized eyes and small body holding a magnifying glass, full-body front view in a compact leaning pose, circle accents. Combine a large head and eyes with a small body and thick consistent black outlines. Fill shapes with three or four vivid flat colors such as pink, mint and violet. Use clean 2D cel fills with a single shadow step. Use a compact expressive pose with simple stars or circles to suggest movement. Reduce realistic proportions, complex joints and soft 3D gradients.

Priority: Expression and silhouette → bold outline → vivid color planes

Strawberry robot

Style average 4.3/5

Subject & framing · Matched
The requested subject and arrangement are identifiable.

Large head, small body and jumping action hold well. The robot subject adds joints and gloss, weakening the single-step cel shading rule.

Evidence by criterion

Shape & line · 5/5: The large strawberry head, eyes and small body are clearly separated by bold black lines.
Color & light · 4/5: Pink, mint and violet dominate, with added cream, yellow and several tonal steps.
Texture · 3/5: Head, joints and shoes have highlights and multiple shadows beyond a single shading step.
Composition · 5/5: The tilted jumping pose and stars and curves clearly convey motion and expression.

Exact prompt

Illustrate an original strawberry-shaped small robot with oversized head and expressive eyes, full-body three-quarter jumping pose, star accents. Combine a large head and eyes with a small body and thick consistent black outlines. Fill shapes with three or four vivid flat colors such as pink, mint and violet. Use clean 2D cel fills with a single shadow step. Use a compact expressive pose with simple stars or circles to suggest movement. Reduce realistic proportions, complex joints and soft 3D gradients.

Priority: Expression and silhouette → bold outline → vivid color planes

Cloud courier

Style average 4.5/5

Subject & framing · Partial
Cloud courier, parcel and flying pose are present, but the face turns more toward the viewer than the requested side view.

The large cloud head and bold outline remain, and flying action reads clearly. Soft tonal variation and extra accent colors increase slightly.

Evidence by criterion

Shape & line · 5/5: Cloud head, large eyes and small body are unified by consistently thick black lines.
Color & light · 4/5: Yellow stars and a brown parcel expand the pink, mint and violet palette.
Texture · 4/5: Most shadows use a single flat step, but cap and parcel retain slight gradients.
Composition · 5/5: Compact body, trailing scarf and motion lines create a strong flying pose.

Exact prompt

Illustrate an original cloud-headed tiny courier holding a parcel, full-body side view in a flying pose, simple motion curves. Combine a large head and eyes with a small body and thick consistent black outlines. Fill shapes with three or four vivid flat colors such as pink, mint and violet. Use clean 2D cel fills with a single shadow step. Use a compact expressive pose with simple stars or circles to suggest movement. Reduce realistic proportions, complex joints and soft 3D gradients.
