The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the prompt updates.
A character frame from a stylised animated feature film: large expressive eyes, a strong simple silhouette, hair drawn as clumped shapes rather than individual strands, painted in soft cel colour with a warm rim light along one edge and a deep near black background. Caught mid reaction with a clear readable expression. Richer than television animation, still clearly hand drawn, not photoreal. No lettering.
