The miniature painter wields the brush to depict ancient Eastern architecture.

Create a whimsical cinematic image with a 2.3 aspect ratio. Use CHARACTER_REFERENCE as the main character. If it is an uploaded photo, preserve the person’s recognizable facial features, face shape, skin tone, hairstyle, eyebrows, beard, and overall likeness with extreme fidelity, transforming them into a tiny storybook and anime-inspired version of themselves. If it is a text description, create the character exactly from that description. Show the character as a tiny illustrated figure standing on a large sheet of textured watercolor paper inside an artist’s studio. The character is holding an oversized realistic paintbrush with both hands and forcefully slamming the brush tip into the paper. Important: the character’s anatomy and the brush interaction must be physically accurate and clean — exactly two arms, two hands, five fingers on each hand, normal body proportions, no duplicated limbs, no extra fingers, no brush intersecting the body, and the hands gripping the brush naturally. The brush tip must be visibly pressed against the paper at the exact moment of impact. From this precise impact point, a spectacular explosion of wet paint erupts upward and outward, transforming into a majestic traditional East Asian house made entirely of living paint. The structure should resemble a refined Japanese- and Chinese-inspired temple residence, with curved tiled roofs, layered eaves, red wooden columns, sliding paper doors, ornamental lanterns, carved beams, and a peaceful courtyard aesthetic. The architecture must emerge organically from watercolor splashes in deep crimson, vermilion, terracotta, warm brown, jade green, charcoal black, and subtle gold accents. Its form should be created from fluid ink lines, translucent watercolor layers, droplets, expressive brush strokes, and delicate sketch details. The lower part of the house must remain connected to the wet paint puddle on the paper, while the upper part becomes increasingly defined, elegant, and alive. Surround the structure with swirling cherry blossom petals, drifting mist, soft lantern glow, bonsai silhouettes, and graceful ribbons of ink. The house should evoke serenity, tradition, and magical craftsmanship, as if an ancient Eastern sanctuary is being painted into existence. Style: dreamy miniature fantasy diorama, delicate anime storybook aesthetic inspired by Studio Ghibli, watercolor and ink mixed with realistic macro photography, handcrafted artistic feel, warm studio lighting, shallow depth of field, cinematic composition, soft bokeh, highly detailed paper texture, blurred paint jars, brushes, and art supplies in the background. Rules: tiny character with oversized brush; clear brush-to-paper impact; East Asian house emerges directly from the impact point; creation made entirely of watercolor, ink, and wet paint; lower structure connected to the paint splash; magical handcrafted cinematic atmosphere; realistic macro photography; no flat illustration look; no plastic toy appearance; no text, no logos, no captions. --ar 2.3
