Prompt 1: Kawaii Doodle Food Transformation
Prompt
Transform a {argument name="subject" default="close-up food photo"} into a {argument name="style" default="whimsical kawaii doodle aesthetic"}. Add adorable hand-drawn cartoon eyes, a smiling mouth, rosy blush cheeks, tiny arms and legs, making the food look alive and expressive. Surround it with playful white doodles including sparkles, stars, hearts, arrows, swirls, speech bubbles, and cute handwritten captions in a casual marker style. Include small accessories like a tiny crown, party hat, sunglasses, or cape to give the food a fun personality. Keep the original food photo realistic while layering clean, sketchy doodles on top. Use {argument name="accent colors" default="soft pastel accent colors"} (yellow, pink, mint, light blue) sparingly for highlights, maintaining a cozy, cheerful, Instagram-worthy aesthetic. The overall look should feel like a charming hand-illustrated journal page with a playful, heartwarming vibe, while preserving the food as the main focus.02
Prompt 2: 2D Cel Animation - Seedance 2.0
Prompt
15 seconds hand-drawn 2D cel animation opening sequence. Protagonist: young man with spiky black hair in a messy bun, pale skin, dark decorative face paint lines under eyes, all-black high-collar long coat, black boots, black gloves — cool, mysterious look but constantly in silly situations. Sequence: 1. Dramatic close-up of his face in moody green and purple lighting, a bird lands on his head, a serious expression breaks. 2. Cut to title KOROKORO in bouncy handwritten letters with cute doodles. 3. Fast-paced comedy montage: him walking dramatically, then stepping on a banana peel and falling; sitting cool at a cafe while stray cats pile onto lap, cannot move; posing on rooftop at sunset then phone rings with cute ringtone; dragged shopping by little old lady who thinks he's her grandson; getting broth splashed on black coat while eating ramen. 4. Final shot: him on a park bench covered in birds and cats, a flower in his hair, staring at the camera unamused. Freeze frame, title reappears. Lighting contrast: dark, moody lighting for dramatic scenes, bright pastel lighting for comedy moments. Upbeat pop-rock soundtrack.

Prompt 4: 772-nano-banana-pro-dorm-room-cinematic

Prompt
A young woman sitting cross-legged on a black armchair in a small, cluttered dorm room. She has long wavy black hair, wearing a dark baseball cap, a fitted white t-shirt, and loose green cargo pants. Her expression is neutral, slightly tired or introspective, looking directly at the camera. The room is messy and packed with details: snacks, packaged food, and miscellaneous items scattered on a small table to the left; shelves filled with books and objects; a bed on the right with rumpled bedding and hanging bags. The wall behind her is covered with posters, photos, and notes, creating a chaotic, lived-in aesthetic. Lighting is warm and slightly dim, giving a cinematic, moody tone. The perspective is slightly elevated, looking down at her, with a centered composition. The overall vibe is raw, intimate, indie film still, realistic and unpolished.
