Style prompt guide
A young woman wrapped in winter clothing strolls down an evening European lane in a refined Japanese animation aesthetic. GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst renders rich painterly environments while preserving clean character features, capturing cold atmospheric depth with subtle illumination.

Stick to the default 4:5 aspect ratio because it gives ample vertical headroom for descending snowflakes while framing the subject from head to pavement. Run the prompt in text-to-image mode with high quality selected so GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst properly renders delicate details like foggy breath and textured cobblestones without compression blur. Switch to a 16:9 ratio only if you want an expansive, cinema-style streetscape where architecture outweighs the character.
Standard anime prompts often produce flat cel shading with simple backgrounds. Adding semi-realistic instructs the model to paint nuanced light, dimensional fabric folds, and textured cobblestones while retaining stylized anime eyes and facial features.
Swap burgundy coat and cream scarf with your preferred apparel, such as navy duffle coat and mustard yellow knit beanie. Keep color descriptions specific and limited to two tones so the character does not clash with the background lighting.
AI image models often try to populate storefronts with invented text that looks like misspelled gibberish. Explicitly requesting no readable signs keeps storefronts visually clean and focused on atmospheric light rather than distracting faux lettering.
