Redraw Request Prompt
Redraw the attached base illustration while preserving the overall composition, character placement, interaction, close paired arrangement, central hand-contact motif, camera framing, and general emotional tone as closely as possible.
Use the attached base illustration as the PRIMARY VISUAL REFERENCE for:
- overall composition
- left-right character placement
- close distance between the two characters
- general pose structure
- central hand interaction
- upper-body framing
- character scale
- paired portrait feeling
Use the second reference image as an expression and scene-context reference, especially for the left character’s slightly serious, mildly frustrated, faintly exasperated, and subtly incredulous emotional nuance, while keeping the final expression graceful and aesthetically harmonious within the paired portrait.
Use the third reference image as a skin tone and skin-rendering reference, especially for:
- soft luminous complexion
- smooth skin texture
- delicate rosy blush
- creamy anime-style tonal transitions
- subtle soft highlights
- refined dimensional skin shading
Use the additional reference image of the pink-haired ghostly noblewoman only as inspiration for the right character’s facial elegance, warm illumination, delicate skin rendering, and the treatment of surrounding ghostly wisps, while preserving the right character’s actual identity, hairstyle colour, costume identity, placement, and pose.
Use the small cropped reference of the left character’s original expression and torso area as an additional guide for her intended mood and pose energy, but prioritize:
- anatomical coherence
- correct shoulder orientation
- correct arm structure
- correct hand placement
- natural torso construction
over any accidental distortions present in a flawed previous version.
Overall Art Direction
Redraw the illustration as a polished early-to-mid-1990s Japanese fantasy RPG key illustration, reflecting the elegant visual language of Japanese fantasy strategy-game promotional art, anime illustration books, and romantic shōjo-fantasy artwork from approximately 1991–1995.
The final image should combine:
- the dramatic clarity and heroic presence of early-1990s Japanese RPG promotional art
- graceful character silhouettes
- romantic fantasy colour harmony
- jewel-like anime eyes
- decorative but readable costume design
- elegant supernatural atmosphere
- softly luminous skin rendering
- refined linework
- richly separated hair strands
- soft painterly cel shading
- atmospheric background painting
Preserve the core composition and relationship of the base image, while significantly refining:
- anatomy
- hand construction
- face structure
- line quality
- costume accuracy
- lighting
- shading
- skin rendering
- background atmosphere
- supernatural ambiance
Scene Setting
Translate the portrait into a mystical Japanese ghostly mansion garden atmosphere while preserving the core paired-portrait composition.
The setting should include:
- traditional Japanese mansion or ghostly estate architecture
- stone stairways
- garden stone paths
- soft drifting mist
- faintly glowing ghostly wisps
- gentle floating cherry blossoms
- subtle supernatural air
- a dreamlike fantasy atmosphere
Even though the environment becomes more atmospheric and supernatural, the characters should remain the primary focus.
The background must support the portrait rather than overwhelm it.
Composition and Camera Direction
Use a vertical portrait-oriented composition.
Keep the overall framing close to the base illustration:
- both characters shown from around thigh or knee level upward
- close side-by-side paired composition
- upper bodies angled slightly inward
- one central hand-contact area as a major visual focal point
- faces placed prominently in the upper central area
Maintain:
- LEFT = silver-haired half-phantom swordswoman
- RIGHT = long green-haired shrine maiden
Do not swap their positions.
The emotional reading should remain:
close allies / quiet trust / soft coordinated connection / supernatural fantasy companionship
Character Interaction
The two women stand close together and gently interact.
Keep the key interaction:
- one inner hand from each character meeting at the centre
- gentle palm-to-palm contact
- relaxed and elegant finger positioning
- soft emotional intimacy
- a cooperative, familiar mood
Do not make the interaction romantic in an overt way, and do not make it combative.
It should read as:
- trust
- companionship
- shared resolve
- a warm supernatural partnership
LEFT CHARACTER — Half-Phantom Swordswoman
Depict the left character as a clearly adult half-phantom swordswoman with:
- short silver-white hair
- blue eyes
- a large black hair bow
- fair luminous skin
- a green-and-white outfit
- a black bow at the chest
- exactly two swords
- one pale half-phantom companion
Her overall impression should be:
- disciplined
- elegant
- dependable
- calm
- quietly expressive
Left Character — Hair
Use:
- short silver-white hair
- soft bob-like shape
- jaw-to-neck length
- clean grouped strands
- subtle inward and outward curves
- pale cool shadow tones
- soft ivory highlights
- delicate blue-gray and lavender reflected tones
Do not make her hair:
- long
- green
- black
- brown
- blonde
The hair must remain clearly silver-white.
Left Character — Facial Expression
This detail is important.
Her expression should balance two qualities:
- the gentle paired-portrait harmony of the base illustration
- a slight serious, mildly frustrated, faintly exasperated, subtly incredulous nuance inspired by the expression reference
The final result should therefore feel like:
- gentle but serious
- calm but slightly exasperated
- composed but subtly questioning
- soft but not blank
Use:
- softly shaped blue eyes
- slightly thoughtful or faintly tense brows
- a small, restrained smile or very soft neutral mouth
- delicate blush
- graceful cheek modelling
Do not make her expression:
- angry
- hostile
- exaggeratedly cheerful
- blank
- crying
- overly dramatic
Left Character — Costume
Keep her costume recognizable and accurate.
Use:
- white blouse
- short puffed sleeves
- muted green sleeveless bodice / dress layer
- black bow at the chest
- green lower garment
- simple pale trim
- lightweight fantasy fabric
Do not redesign her into:
- shrine maiden clothing
- armour
- kimono
- gothic aristocratic clothing
- futuristic outfit
Left Character — Swords
She must have exactly two Japanese swords.
Use:
- one longer katana
- one shorter companion sword
- clearly different lengths
- dark sheaths
- readable guards
- believable placement behind or beside her body
Do not create:
- one sword only
- three swords
- duplicate sword handles
- malformed sheath geometry
- swords clipping unnaturally through the body
Left Character — Half-Phantom
Include exactly one pale half-phantom associated with the left character.
It should be:
- softly translucent
- white to pale cyan
- rounded and flowing
- faceless
- elegant
- slightly luminous
- abstract and ghostly
Do not give it:
- a detailed face
- monster features
- skeletal details
- a frightening expression
RIGHT CHARACTER — Green-Haired Shrine Maiden
Depict the right character as a clearly adult shrine maiden with:
- very long vivid green hair
- green eyes
- fair luminous skin
- white upper clothing
- blue collar
- blue trim
- a blue or lavender-blue skirt
- white dot pattern on the skirt
- one green frog ornament
- one pale snake ornament
Her overall impression should be:
- warm
- elegant
- supportive
- composed
- spiritually refined
Right Character — Face
Use the pink-haired ghostly noblewoman reference only as a facial elegance and rendering reference, not as an identity reference.
The right character must remain herself.
Her face should have:
- soft, elegant anime proportions
- gentle green eyes
- subtle blush
- delicate cheek modelling
- a calm, kind smile
- refined feminine softness
- softly luminous skin
The emotional tone should be:
- gentle
- reassuring
- composed
- warm
- quietly affectionate
Do not transform her into another character.
Right Character — Hair
Use:
- very long vivid green hair
- flowing layered locks
- large grouped strands
- elegant waves and curls
- length extending well below the shoulders, ideally toward the waist or below
- soft volume around the head and shoulders
- emerald shadows
- mint highlights
- faint cyan reflected light
- warm soft edge light
Do not shorten the hair drastically.
The dominant colour must remain clearly green.
Right Character — Hair Accessories
Use exactly:
- one small green frog-shaped ornament
- one pale snake-shaped decorative ornament
The frog ornament should look:
- compact
- rounded
- stylized
- decorative
- clearly manufactured
The snake ornament should look:
- pale
- smooth
- decorative
- stylized
- crafted rather than biological
Do not make the snake look like a realistic living reptile.
Do not duplicate either ornament.
Right Character — Costume
This point is very important.
The costume must preserve the right character’s distinctive design and colour balance.
Use:
- white upper garment
- clearly visible blue collar
- blue trim / blue edge piping
- white arm or sleeve fabric
- blue sleeve edging where appropriate
- blue or lavender-blue skirt
- a white dotted pattern across the skirt
The visual identity must clearly read as:
green hair + white upper garment + blue collar + blue trim + blue dotted skirt
Do not convert the outfit into a generic red-and-white shrine maiden costume.
Do not create:
- red hakama
- red skirt
- red collar
- red sleeve trim
- ordinary red-and-white miko clothing
Right Character — Skirt Pattern
The skirt must retain a clearly visible white dotted or white small repeated pattern.
Use:
- small white dots
- modest white motif distribution
- cloth-following pattern placement
- readable white-on-blue contrast
The pattern belongs to the fabric itself.
Do not replace it with:
- glowing particles
- large flowers
- large stars
- random magical symbols
Skin Rendering
Use the designated skin reference as the primary guide for skin treatment.
Render both characters with:
- luminous fair ivory skin
- soft peach-pink undertones
- delicate rosy blush
- creamy midtones
- subtle translucent depth
- smooth anime-style dimensional shading
- soft refined highlights
- velvety texture
- gentle warmth
The skin should look:
- soft
- smooth
- supple
- elegant
- luminous
- refined
Use especially careful skin rendering on:
- cheeks
- nose
- fingertips
- shoulders
- neck
- hands
Do not make the skin:
- plastic
- metallic
- waxy
- oily
- harshly glossy
- overly wet
Hands and Hand Contact
The central hand-contact area is one of the highest-priority areas.
Render the hands carefully with:
- exactly five fingers per visible hand
- correct thumb placement
- natural wrist structure
- soft elegant finger curvature
- believable palm contact
- delicate nails
- subtle knuckle modelling
- faint pink warmth in fingertips
Use soft warm reflected light between the palms.
Do not create:
- extra fingers
- fused fingers
- merged palms
- distorted wrists
- extra hands
- broken anatomy
Lighting
Use a soft, romantic, refined fantasy lighting treatment.
Combine:
- warm soft ivory illumination
- subtle peach-pink reflected light
- pale blue-lavender ambience
- delicate mint and cyan supernatural reflections
- soft warm highlights on faces and hair
- gentle bloom around ghostly wisps where appropriate
The lighting should feel:
- dreamy
- elegant
- atmospheric
- gentle
- magical
Avoid harsh theatrical contrast.
Keep the characters’ faces clearly visible and emotionally readable.
Ghostly Wisps and Supernatural Atmosphere
Borrow only the treatment quality of ghostly wisps from the pink-haired ghostly noblewoman reference.
Surround the scene with subtle supernatural wisps such as:
- pale translucent ghostly trails
- faint luminous mist
- soft drifting spirit wisps
- delicate floating particles
- ethereal glow around selected areas
Keep them:
- elegant
- airy
- soft
- non-threatening
- dreamlike
Do not let them obscure the characters’ faces or hands.
Background
Set the portrait in a mystical Japanese ghostly mansion garden.
Use:
- stone stairways
- traditional architecture
- soft garden elements
- subtle cherry blossoms drifting through the air
- pale mist
- dreamy supernatural depth
- elegant ghostly atmosphere
The background should remain secondary and softly atmospheric.
It should frame the pair beautifully without turning the image into a crowded landscape.
Linework and Rendering
Use:
- fine but confident linework
- elegant contour control
- soft cel shading blended with delicate painterly gradients
- clean facial features
- jewel-like eyes
- softly described fabrics
- carefully separated hair locks
- readable costume construction
- soft atmospheric depth
The rendering should evoke:
- early-to-mid-1990s Japanese fantasy RPG illustration
- romantic shōjo-fantasy elegance
- premium illustration-book finish
Overall Mood
The final image should feel like:
- a beautiful supernatural paired portrait
- refined friendship and trust
- soft fantasy elegance
- nostalgic Japanese RPG illustration
- a gentle but slightly dramatic ghostly atmosphere
It should remain:
- character-focused
- emotionally readable
- aesthetically polished
- accurate to the two character identities
