📌 STYLE
Pixar-style 3D animation. Highly polished CGI render. Meme-oriented tone with exaggerated, playful overacting. Clean sticker aesthetic — sharp edges, solid #FFCC00 background. Same visual language as Pixar short films (Soul, Turning Red, Luca). Comic strip energy — characters break the fourth wall of their cells, reaching, throwing, and reacting across borders.
🧑 SUBJECT
⚠️ FACE LOCK — TOP PRIORITY:
Using the uploaded selfie as the sole and exclusive face reference, generate a 3D Pixar-style character that is 100% recognizable as the person in the photo. Reproduce exactly:
Facial structure: face shape, jawline, nose, eyes, eyebrows, lips, skin tone
Hair: [AUTO-DETECT from selfie — replicate exact color, length, texture, cut, and style]
Gender: [AUTO-DETECT from selfie — strictly respect and maintain throughout all 16 stickers]
Any distinctive features (freckles, beard, glasses, piercings, etc.)
Character body proportions: slightly chibi-Pixar (large head, compact body). Only the t-shirt color changes per cell — face, hair, gender, and proportions are 100% identical across all 16 versions.
👕 T-SHIRT COLOR MAP — MANDATORY

🎭 CONTEXT & ACTION — CROSS-CELL COMIC INTERACTIONS
CORE RULE: The 16 versions of the same character interact with their direct neighbors (left, right, above, below). Arms, objects, expressions, and body parts can and should cross cell borders — breaking the grid boundary is the comedic device. The grid border is just a thin line — characters physically ignore it when interacting.
Interaction pairs and comic scenarios:
CellsComic Interaction1 ↔ 2Cell 1 (Surprised) throws a bucket of water 💧 rightward — the water stream crosses the border; Cell 2 (Annoyed) is getting soaked, arm raised in protest, holding a mop3 ↔ 4Cell 3 (Confused) holds a giant magnifying glass 🔍 pointing right into Cell 4's face; Cell 4 (Frustrated) has a comically enlarged distorted eye from the lens5 ↔ 6Cell 5 (Thoughtful) extends a finger leftward with a lightbulb 💡 on it crossing into Cell 6; Cell 6 (Sarcastic) stares at it with maximum deadpan side-eye7 ↔ 8Cell 7 (Worried) shoves a huge alarm clock ⏰ rightward into Cell 8; Cell 8 (Bored) has the clock landing on their head, still expressionless9 ↔ 10Cell 9 (Curious) leans forward with a telescope 🔭 crossing the border into Cell 10; Cell 10 (Excited) is waving back enthusiastically into the telescope lens11 ↔ 12Cell 11 (Disgusted) pushes a giant stinky sandwich 🥪 rightward with one finger; Cell 12 (Smug) slow-claps while the sandwich crosses the border toward them13 ↔ 14Cell 13 (Panicked) throws a banana peel 🍌 leftward; Cell 14 (Laughing) is already on the floor mid-fall, legs in the air, slipped on it15 ↔ 16Cell 15 (Shy) timidly extends a tiny flower 🌸 rightward across the border; Cell 16 (Angry) stares at it with vein-popping rage, steam from ears1 ↕ 5Cell 1 (Surprised) drops a pizza slice 🍕 downward; Cell 5 (Thoughtful) below catches it with one hand, still philosophically pondering2 ↕ 6Cell 2 (Annoyed) pours coffee ☕ downward; Cell 6 (Sarcastic) below holds a cup perfectly positioned, eyes rolled3 ↕ 7Cell 3 (Confused) dangles a question mark sign ❓ downward on a string; Cell 7 (Worried) below is sweating looking up at it4 ↕ 8Cell 4 (Frustrated) slams a fist downward through the border; Cell 8 (Bored) below is unfazed, fist millimeters from their head9 ↕ 13Cell 9 (Curious) peers downward with a flashlight 🔦 beam crossing into Cell 13; Cell 13 (Panicked) is blinded and screaming10 ↕ 14Cell 10 (Excited) throws confetti 🎉 downward; Cell 14 (Laughing) below is covered in it, rolling on the floor11 ↕ 15Cell 11 (Disgusted) drops a sock 🧦 downward; Cell 15 (Shy) below recoils with exaggerated cringe12 ↕ 16Cell 12 (Smug) drops a coin 🪙 slowly downward; Cell 16 (Angry) below catches it and immediately crushes it with rage
Each character's primary emotion and expression remains dominant — the interaction adds comic context without replacing the emotion. The object or body part crossing the border is the punchline.
🖼️ COMPOSITION
Final output: 4:5 aspect ratio
4×4 grid — exactly 16 cells, evenly spaced, all same size
Thin visible cell borders — present but treated as breakable walls by the characters
Arms, objects, effects (water splash, steam, confetti) visibly cross the border lines — this crossing must be clear and intentional
Each character: waist up or full body, centered in their cell
T-shirt color clearly visible in every cell
The overall grid reads as a single unified comic page — interactions create visual flow across the entire composition
📷 LENS & CAMERA
Virtual camera: 50mm equivalent — natural proportions, no distortion
Slight front-facing angle per cell for emotion readability
No fisheye, no wide-angle distortion
Depth: shallow — character sharp, #FFCC00 background flat
💡 LIGHTING
Soft, even studio-style 3D lighting — consistent across all 16 cells
Key light: slightly above front-facing (Pixar hero light)
Subtle rim light for 3D volume
No hard shadows, no chiaroscuro
Warm-neutral temperature — t-shirt colors vivid and saturated throughout
🎨 BACKGROUND & OUTPUT
Solid flat #FFCC00 (bright yellow) on every cell — 100% coverage, no gradients, no texture
No text, captions, watermarks, logos, or UI elements
Grid borders: thin neutral dark line — visible enough to define cells, thin enough to be broken dramatically by crossing elements
Messenger-ready output
❌ NEGATIVE PROMPT
Avoid: characters isolated with zero interaction, no objects crossing cell borders, arms and objects that stop at cell borders without crossing, same t-shirt color in more than one cell, wrong face structure, wrong hair color or style, wrong gender, missing cross-cell interactions, objects too small to read, interactions not visible or unclear, background any color other than #FFCC00, gradient backdrop, text overlays, watermarks, anime style, flat 2D illustration, realistic photography, uncanny valley, missing cells, fewer than 16 stickers, 3×3 grid instead of 4×4, duplicate emotions, blurry expressions, low resolution, washed-out t-shirt colors, moiré pattern, jpeg artifacts, characters unrecognizable from selfie.
