Style prompt

A saturated contemporary anime rendering with a tightly cropped focal area, polished expressive details, and painterly digital edges. Put the sharpest linework and layered reflections in a small set of focal marks, while larger surrounding masses use broader broken strokes. Drive the palette through hot crimson or magenta against vivid turquoise, with a dark anchor near the lower edge. Apply intense overhead highlights and cool edge bounce so smooth modeled planes meet sudden white flashes. Allow a little chromatic roughness at contours and stray strands or fragments to keep the image energetic rather than perfectly sterile. The composition should feel intimate and immediate, with strong complementary color tension and a clear hierarchy from detailed center to looser edges.

Full example prompt

A saturated contemporary anime illustration tightly frames a red haired young woman's face and shoulders against a bright turquoise background. Her head turns slightly to the viewer's left, yet large glassy blue gray eyes look forward with a surprised, questioning expression. Dark precise lash lines and intricate pale reflections give the eyes unusually high detail, while the small nose is defined by a crisp white highlight and the parted lips carry a muted rose red. Vivid crimson hair fills the top and both sides of the frame; short bangs break over her forehead and longer loose pieces curve around her cheeks. Brilliant white and hot pink strokes flash across the upper hair as if from a strong overhead light, while cyan edge color slips into strands on the left and lower right. A dark high neckline and a hint of red outer clothing anchor the cropped bottom, but the face remains the central event. The image mixes clean anime contour design with textured digital brushwork and a few rough chromatic edge artifacts, giving the polished features a lively hand painted finish. Strong light from above and slightly right cuts a bright shape along the nose, hair, and eye highlights, opposed by cool turquoise reflected light near the jaw. The whole frame feels immediate and electric, with close cropping and red cyan opposition intensifying an intimate expression.
