A detailed prompt for creating 1980s Japanese City Pop style illustrations that maintain the subject's identity while applying a vintage anime aesthetic. Change the subject, setting, or lighting one variable at a time.

A detailed medium-long shot retro anime illustration in the style of {argument name="art style" default="1980s Japanese City Pop"} artwork with a textured paper surface and vintage screen-print finish. Transform the uploaded reference photo into the same person while preserving his facial identity, hairstyle, beard, facial proportions, smile, skin tone, and recognizable features. He has short dark wavy hair, a neatly trimmed beard, and wears oversized black square sunglasses with dark lenses. He is casually leaning against a dark wooden railing on a waterfront promenade or ship deck, with one hand resting in his trouser pocket and the other on the railing, gazing thoughtfully to his right. He wears an unbuttoned {argument name="shirt style" default="light beige short-sleeved camp-collar shirt"} with a relaxed fit, dark indigo high-waisted pleated trousers secured with a black leather belt, and a classic stainless-steel watch with a brown leather strap. The background features a {argument name="background" default="vast, tranquil waterfront beneath a dramatic salmon-pink, orange, and peach gradient sunset sky"}. A large pale circular sun hangs high in the sky while stylized fluffy clouds drift across the horizon. Calm deep blue-green water reflects the warm evening light, with dark distant mountain ranges stretching across the background. The scene is illuminated with soft golden-hour lighting, cinematic shadows, and rich nostalgic colors. Composition emphasizes relaxed confidence and timeless summer fashion, rendered with crisp anime linework, subtle cel shading, authentic 80s City Pop aesthetics, slight film grain, textured paper, muted retro color palette, and a premium vintage Japanese illustration style.
