Anime Portrait Filter

Transform this uploaded photo into a hand-painted anime portrait. Reimagine the subject with clean cel-shaded linework, soft painterly shading, and expressive anime-style eyes, while keeping their exact facial structure, hairstyle, and expression fully recognizable — this should read as clearly them, just illustrated.

Preserve the original pose, composition, and framing of the photo. Keep clothing, accessories, and background elements recognizable, reimagined in the same anime-painterly style rather than replaced or invented. Maintain the original lighting mood and color palette, translated into flat and gradient anime shading instead of photographic light.

Avoid generic or off-model anime faces, waxy plastic skin, or losing the subject's real likeness. Keep linework clean but not sterile — subtle brush texture and painterly color blending should stay visible, not a flat filter overlay. No text, no logos, no unrelated added characters.

The final result should look like a frame pulled from a hand-painted anime film starring this exact person, instantly recognizable as them.
