Storybook Times Square Photo Transformation

Using the provided reference image as the only source, transform the photo into a vibrant hand-painted storybook illustration while preserving the exact composition, subject identity, pose, outfit, facial proportions, hairstyle, and Times Square setting. Keep the central woman in the same position and preserve the shirt graphic text exactly as {argument name="shirt text" default="I ♥ NY"}. Style: Convert the scene into a whimsical gouache/acrylic children’s book painting with visible brush texture, softened facial details, warm rosy cheeks, simplified shapes, saturated colors, playful outlines, and a cheerful nighttime city glow. Make the lighting feel bright, colorful, and magical rather than photographic. Background transformation: Repaint the Times Square billboards and street details as hand-lettered illustrated signs, keeping the dense city-canyon composition but replacing realistic ads with playful fictional signage. Include exactly these prominent readable sign texts: 1) “THE GREAT GATSBY”, 2) “BROADWAY”, 3) “SAMSUNG”, 4) “CocaCola”, 5) “TIMES SQUARE”, 6) “LITTLE HOPP”, 7) “hey hey hey”, 8) “LIVE LOVE DREAM”, 9) “I ♥ SOCCER”, 10) “wear channel outdoor”, 11) “LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE”, and 12) “FUN”. Add simplified illustrated pedestrians, yellow taxis, street carts, barricades, and colorful pavement reflections matching the original layout. Added decorative elements: Overlay playful white doodles and small graphic marks across the scene, including stars, hearts, squiggles, flower shapes, dots, and motion lines, especially near the lower corners and on the billboards. Constraints: Use no other reference images, do not change the woman’s pose or outfit, do not alter the overall camera angle or framing, keep all original major objects in their approximate positions, avoid photorealism, and make the final image look like a charming painted travel-storybook poster.
