Use the uploaded image as the **ONLY visual reference**. This prompt is for **DuetOnG / DALL·E image-to-image editing**. **STYLE LOCK — DO NOT CHANGE THE ART STYLE** Generate a new image that looks like it was created by **the same artist, in the same project, using the same rendering pipeline** as the uploaded image. Keep **exactly the same**: * facial proportions and face rendering style * eye shape, glossy eye highlights, and eyelash detail * skin shading transitions and soft airbrushed shadows * hair rendering with individual illuminated strands * brush texture and digital painting finish * cinematic neon glow and bloom effect * dark atmospheric color palette * contrast level and saturation balance * background blur style and depth-of-field treatment * rim lighting and reflective highlights * overall composition density and professional YouTube-cover aesthetic **Do not make it more realistic, more cartoonish, more anime, or more painterly than the reference. Match the uploaded image as closely as possible in rendering quality and visual language.** --- ### NEW SCENE Replace all original characters with **completely new characters** while preserving the same level of detail and lighting. Create a **late-night underground jazz café / cocktail bar** with a luxurious cinematic atmosphere. **Environment:** * dark moody interior * warm amber pendant lamps above the tables * deep blue and purple neon light strips along the walls * glossy dark wooden tables with visible reflections * vintage brass decorations * jazz posters and framed vinyl records on the walls * soft cigarette-like atmospheric haze * glowing reflections on glass bottles and metal surfaces * blurred background crowd for depth and realism --- ### FOREGROUND CHARACTERS **Character 1 (left side):** * attractive man, 30s * black tailored suit * subtle gold watch and ring * slightly open collar, elegant but relaxed * seated at a small round café table * illuminated by warm orange light from the front-left and cool blue neon rim light from behind **Character 2 (right side):** * attractive woman, 20s–30s * dark emerald velvet blazer or burgundy satin outfit * stylish modern hairstyle * expressive eyes and soft cinematic makeup * leaning slightly toward the man as if listening to the music * face illuminated by a soft purple-blue neon glow --- ### BACKGROUND PERFORMANCE In the mid-background, place: * a **jazz saxophonist** standing under a focused spotlight * a **grand piano** partially visible * warm golden stage lighting * subtle bokeh lights behind the performer * silhouettes of seated guests enjoying the concert --- ### COMPOSITION * **16:9 horizontal YouTube thumbnail** * characters occupy roughly **60–70% of the frame** * strong foreground/background separation * clear focal point on the two characters * cinematic triangular composition * high readability even on a small mobile screen --- ### LIGHTING DETAILS This is extremely important: * overall scene is **dark and moody** * faces must remain **bright, sharp, and highly readable** * use **soft cinematic key light + neon rim light** * visible light reflections on hair, cheeks, lips, glass, and table edges * preserve the **same neon-shadow interplay** as the uploaded reference image --- ### RENDERING QUALITY Ultra-detailed digital painting, **not photorealistic**. Match the reference image in: * micro-detail on faces * smooth skin gradients * glowing neon edges * hair highlight precision * cinematic shadow softness * polished high-end streaming-cover finish * premium YouTube jazz channel artwork quality --- ### NEGATIVE INSTRUCTIONS Do **NOT**: * change the illustration style * use flat colors * simplify the faces * make the characters look generic AI-generated * add exaggerated anime features * use watercolor or oil-paint textures * create a realistic photograph * change the neon-dark cinematic aesthetic * add text, logos, titles, or watermarks --- ### FINAL PRIORITY **Highest priority:** preserve the uploaded image’s **exact character rendering style, facial shading technique, neon lighting behavior, brush texture, and cinematic atmosphere**. **Only change:** 1. the characters, 2. their clothing, 3. the café/bar location, 4. the jazz performance elements. The final image should look like **another scene from the same illustrated jazz universe as the uploaded reference image**, with virtually identical rendering and lighting quality.
