Soviet Storybook Grotesque

苏联风格荒诞故事书插画

Transform the user's photo into a deliberately awkward, funny, slightly unsettling old-print children's book illustration.
将用户的照片转换成刻意笨拙、有趣且略带不安的旧印刷风格儿童书籍插画。

Workflow

工作流程

  1. Check for a source photo or image. If none is present, ask the user to provide one.
  2. Identify only the visual anchors needed from the photo: subject count, broad pose, main action, key clothing, props, and obvious setting.
  3. Use an image-generation or image-editing model with the photo as the visual reference. Preserve the source's basic subject roles and composition, but stylize aggressively.
  4. Add a short absurd English caption inside the image unless the user explicitly asks for no text. Make it clumsy, handwritten, confusingly rhymed, and only loosely related to the image.
  5. Review the result against the negative constraints. If it looks polished, cute, modern, realistic, decorative, or too detailed, regenerate or revise toward roughness and emptier space.
  1. 检查是否有源照片或图像。如果没有，请用户提供。
  2. 仅从照片中提取所需的视觉锚点：主体数量、大致姿势、主要动作、关键服饰、道具和明显场景。
  3. 使用图像生成或图像编辑模型，以照片为视觉参考。保留源内容的基本主体角色和构图，但进行大胆的风格化处理。
  4. 除非用户明确要求不加文字，否则在图像内添加一段简短的荒诞英文配文。配文需笨拙、手写风格、押韵混乱，且仅与图像松散关联。
  5. 根据禁忌要求检查结果。如果成品看起来精致、可爱、现代、写实、装饰性过强或细节过多，则重新生成或修改，使其更粗糙、留白更多。

Style Recipe

风格配方

Use these ingredients directly in the image prompt:
  • Thin shaky black ink lines, careless sketchy linework, uneven contours, and old-print roughness.
  • Awkward anatomy, elongated limbs, weird proportions, stiff hands, uncomfortable facial expressions, and nervous absurd body language.
  • Grotesque humorous cartoon energy: ridiculous rather than adorable, tense rather than cozy.
  • Pale faded watercolor washes, washed-out muted colors, uneven coloring, dirty paper texture, and slightly misregistered print texture.
  • Sparse composition with lots of empty paper space.
  • Minimal random background details: small strange doodles, crooked objects, loose marks, stray patterns, or irrelevant tiny props.
  • An authentically old Eastern European children's book illustration feeling from the 1980s, without referencing a specific living artist.
直接将以下元素用于图像提示词：
  • 纤细颤抖的黑色墨水线条、随意潦草的线条笔触、不规则轮廓，以及旧印刷质感。
  • 别扭的人体结构、拉长的四肢、怪异的比例、僵硬的手部、不自然的面部表情，以及神经质的荒诞肢体语言。
  • 荒诞幽默的卡通风格：偏向滑稽而非可爱，紧张而非温馨。
  • 浅淡褪色的水彩晕染、饱和度低的柔和色调、不均匀的着色、脏旧纸张纹理，以及轻微错位的印刷纹理。
  • 简洁构图，留有大量空白纸张空间。
  • 少量随机背景细节：小型怪异涂鸦、歪斜物体、松散线条、零散图案或无关的小道具。
  • 80年代真实的东欧儿童书籍插画风格，请勿参考特定在世艺术家。

Caption Direction

配文指引

Write one or two short lines of absurd English. It should rhyme imperfectly, feel confused, and be slightly related to the image without explaining it.
Examples of caption logic:
text
The uncle ate thunder, the teapot said soon,
my left shoe saluted a boiled little moon.
text
Three knees for breakfast, one hat for the rain,
the window forgot how to whisper again.
Render the caption as part of the illustration: clumsy handwritten letters, uneven baseline, shaky spacing, imperfect ink, and no clean digital typography. If exact text is important and the image model cannot render it reliably, generate the artwork with a blank caption area, then add the caption afterward with an image-editing tool while matching the rough handwritten style.
撰写一到两行荒诞的英文内容。需不完全押韵、逻辑混乱，与图像略有关联但无需解释图像内容。
配文逻辑示例：
text
The uncle ate thunder, the teapot said soon,
my left shoe saluted a boiled little moon.
text
Three knees for breakfast, one hat for the rain,
the window forgot how to whisper again.
将配文作为插画的一部分呈现：采用笨拙的手写字体、不规则基线、颤抖的字间距、不完美的墨水效果，禁止使用干净的数字排版。如果精确文字很重要但图像模型无法可靠渲染，则先生成带有空白配文区域的作品，之后使用图像编辑工具添加配文，同时匹配粗糙的手写风格。

Negative Constraints

禁忌要求

Avoid:
  • Cute, charming, polished, cozy, pretty, glossy, aesthetic, or modern results.
  • Realistic rendering, photographic texture, cinematic lighting, high detail, smooth anatomy, clean faces, or professional character-design polish.
  • Slick vector art, anime, Pixar-like style, clean children's book cuteness, clean poster design, decorative maximalism, or saturated modern palettes.
  • Dense backgrounds. Keep the environment minimal, strange, and loose.
  • Faithful beauty retouching. The transformation should be strange, absurd, nervous, and intentionally clumsy.
避免：
  • 可爱、迷人、精致、温馨、漂亮、光滑、具有美感或现代风格的成品。
  • 写实渲染、照片质感、电影级灯光、高细节、流畅的人体结构、干净的面部或专业角色设计的精致感。
  • 流畅的矢量艺术、动漫、皮克斯风格、干净的儿童书籍可爱风格、简洁海报设计、装饰性繁复风格或饱和度高的现代调色板。
  • 密集背景。保持环境简洁、怪异且松散。
  • 忠实的美颜修饰。转换效果应怪异、荒诞、神经质且刻意笨拙。

Prompt Template

提示词模板

text
Transform the attached photo into a strange vintage Soviet / Eastern European children's book illustration from the 1980s. Preserve the basic subject count, pose, action, and key props from the photo, but redraw everything as an intentionally clumsy grotesque cartoon.

Use thin shaky black ink lines, awkward anatomy, elongated limbs, weird proportions, stiff hands, nervous uncomfortable facial expressions, chaotic movement, and ridiculous absurd energy. Make it funny and slightly unsettling rather than cute. Use pale faded watercolor washes, dirty yellowed paper texture, uneven coloring, washed-out muted colors, rough old-print texture, careless sketchy linework, and lots of empty space.

Keep the background minimal and random, with a few small strange doodles or crooked irrelevant details. Do not make it polished, aesthetic, modern, cute, detailed, realistic, glossy, cinematic, anime, vector, or clean.

Add a clumsy handwritten English caption inside the illustration: "[ABSURD RHYMING CAPTION]". The lettering should look shaky, uneven, and hand-drawn as part of the old illustration.
