Style prompt guide

Style traits to keep

A cozy corner inside a cafe on an overcast day comes alive through hand-painted anime aesthetics. GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst balances soft lighting, sleepy feline poses, and wet glass reflections without letting the scene get cluttered. The deliberate palette and texture instructions keep it looking like a painted animation still rather than a glossy digital render.

The hand-painted anime style combines painterly warmth with clean character silhouettes, creating a nostalgic animation film aesthetic.

Palette
Amber, cream, and soft moss greens dominate the indoor space, providing high contrast against the cool grey rain outside the glass.
Texture
Visible soft brush strokes and gentle gradients replace hard digital lines, giving surfaces like wooden tables and cat fur an organic watercolor feel.
Light
Diffused glow radiates from hanging fairy lights and ambient cafe lamps, scattering soft rim light along the reader's hair and tea steam.
Line
Outlines remain thin and slightly blended into colors rather than inked heavily, preserving a dreamy, peaceful storybook appearance.

What defines this look

  1. composition framingVertical 4:5 portrait frame.

    Establishes a tall view that accommodates the cafe window, the reading patron, and tabletop details in one balanced frame. Changing this to landscape spreads the elements apart and weakens the intimate cafe corner feel.

  2. narrative coreInside a warm little cat cafe on a rainy afternoon, a young woman with round glasses reading while three cats sleep around her,

    Defines the peaceful scene and grounds the characters. Removing the sleeping cats leaves an empty table, while omitting the rainy afternoon erases the quiet, reflective mood.

  3. environmental atmosphererain streaking the big window, plants and fairy lights, a cup of tea steaming,

    Adds sensory depth by pairing cold weather outside with comforting elements inside. Removing the steaming tea and fairy lights makes the interior look stark and uninviting.

  4. artistic medium instructionsoft hand-painted anime illustration style, cozy warm palette, no readable text.

    Forces gentle brush textures and warm amber tones while preventing gibberish cafe signage. Dropping hand-painted anime can cause the model to default to harsh photorealism or sharp vector lines.

Model and settings

Keep the aspect ratio set to 4:5 as requested in the prompt to maintain the vertical window composition and intimate height. Leave the quality set to high so GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst preserves fine rain streaks on the glass and delicate steam curls. If adapting this concept for wide desktop displays or banner illustrations, switch the ratio to 16:9 while retaining the high quality mode.

When the style drifts

The image turns into a sharp 3D render instead of a soft illustration.
Add soft watercolor brushwork and replace illustration style with traditional gouache animation background art in the prompt.
Random gibberish cafe signs appear on walls or book covers.
Ensure no readable text remains prominent at the end of the prompt, and add plain unmarked book cover to keep surfaces blank.
The rain outside is invisible or blends into a solid grey wall.
Replace rain streaking the big window with heavy condensation and distinct diagonal rain droplets running down the glass.

Questions about this style prompt

How can I change the number of cats without confusing the model?

Specify the exact placement for each animal rather than just a total count. For example, write one cat curled on her lap and another sleeping on the windowsill to help GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst render each one cleanly.

Why does the cafe interior look too dim in some generations?

Overcast weather can overpower the interior lighting. Add warm ambient glow and brightly illuminated fairy lights to force the model to brighten the indoor space against the rain.

Can I add coffee shop menu boards without generating garbled letters?

GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst supports clean text if you explicitly specify the exact words inside quotation marks. If you want decorative boards without readable text, specify illustrated chalkboard drawings of cups with no letters.
