Photo to oriental vintage woodcut illustration

Real Person Photos → Oriental Vintage Woodcut Manga | Universal Prompt

Please recreate the entire photo based on the [original photo] I upload into a vintage woodcut print illustration with Eastern aesthetics.

Do not just add a filter to the original photo, but perform a complete artistic redrawing based on the photo.

1. Preserve original photo

Accurately preserve the following from the original photo as much as possible:
Subject identity and recognizability
Poses, actions, and expressions of people or animals
Clothing, hairstyles, accessories
Important props
Positional relationships between subjects
Original photography angle
Dashed composition and visual focus
Most representative scene elements

Backgrounds can be appropriately simplified, but do not change the story originally expressed by the photo.
Characters should not become completely unfamiliar generic cartoon faces.
Animals should retain real characteristics such as breed, fur color, patterns, ears, eyes, and body shape.

2. Core art style

Convert real photos into:
**Traditional Chinese woodcut prints
Vintage folk art illustrations
Old-style New Year print printing
Old book illustrations
Handmade screen printing
A small amount of modern graphic design**
The overall look should have a clear sense of handmade woodblock carving.

Use:
Black carved lines of uneven thickness, dense hatching, woodcut textures, coarse ink marks, dry brush marks, slight ink loss, particles, paper fibers, slight registration misalignment, and natural wear and tear.
Do not draw it as a smooth modern digital illustration.

3. Modeling method

The subject outline is clear, generalized, and powerful.
Details in the real photo are converted into lines and color blocks with a woodcut feel.
Facial features retain recognizability but are moderately illustrated:
Simplified features
Clear outlines
Natural expressions
Do not over-cartoonize
Do not use big anime eyes
Do not use 3D modeling
Hair, clothing texture, leaves, buildings, and props are expressed with handmade carved lines.
Small amounts of fine line work can be retained locally to make the image both coarse and durable.

4. Composition design

The overall composition is like a collection-grade old woodcut poster.
Automatically reorganize the background based on the original photo.
Can naturally include:
Bamboo leaves, branches, flowers and grass, mountains, clouds, birds, traditional building outlines, the moon, the sun, circular halos, and other elements.
But these elements must serve the original photo; do not fill the screen just for decoration.

Can use:
Circular viewfinders / Arched composition / Plant borders / Black silhouette edges
Forming a visual structure similar to an old woodcut cover.
The subject must still be the visual center.

5. Color

Use a low-saturation, vintage, and restrained limited palette.
The main color is automatically selected from the 3–5 most coordinated colors among:
Carbon black
Cream yellow
Old paper color
Dark green
Gray blue
Indigo
Brick red
Ochre
Dark orange
Moss green
Avoid large areas of high-saturation neon colors.
If the original photo has very important bright colors, such as:
Fish lanterns, ethnic costumes, toys, flowers, amusement facilities,
these colors can be appropriately retained as visual highlights but still converted into a vintage color printing effect.

6. Material

The image looks like it's printed on a piece of old paper preserved for decades.
Add real:
Paper fibers
Old paper grains
Uneven ink absorption
Slight fading
Ink spots
Scratches
Wear
Ink loss
Overprint errors
Irregular edges
Handmade printing marks
Texture is natural and restrained; do not make it intentionally too dirty.

7. Atmosphere

The final image should simultaneously have:
Oriental
Vintage
Quiet
Poetic
Simple
Warm
Narrative sense
Handmade feel
Literary sense
Collection sense

Like a page flipped out from an old China travel album, a folk story collection, or a woodcut illustration collection from decades ago.
It has both traditional flavor and modern aesthetics.

8. Text
By default, do not copy from the original photo:
Watermarks, account names, Logos, platform identifiers, dates, or irrelevant text.
If suitable for the image, a very small traditional vertical title tag can be added in the corner,
Automatically generating a 2–4 character Chinese theme name based on the photo content,
Using archaic printing fonts or woodcut fonts.
Text must be minimal and restrained.
If accurate Chinese characters cannot be guaranteed, do not generate text at all.
No garbled characters.

Final Effect

Retain the story and recognizability of the original photo, but make it look like it was re-carved and printed by a traditional woodcut artist.
Not a common manga.
Not a simple filter.
Not photo outlining.
But a completely redesigned:
Oriental vintage woodcut art illustration.
High detail, exquisite carving lines, real old paper texture, limited color overprinting, high-end art print quality, suitable as posters, postcards, book illustrations, and collection-grade artworks.
