Main AI Prompt

Main Prompt Content
"Take the exact face from the attached reference image as the primary subject. Use the precise facial features, bone structure, eye shape, nose, lips, jawline, skin tone, and expression of the woman shown in the reference photo. Maintain her exact face with high fidelity as the core element, but redraw the entire image in the most {argument name="style" default="clumsy, scribbly, and utterly pathetic way"} possible. Create a terrible amateur {argument name="software" default="MS Paint drawing"} on a {argument name="background" default="pure white background"} using only a mouse, with jagged, uneven lines, horrible proportions, and obvious mistakes everywhere. Make the hair look like it was drawn with the pencil tool in 5-pixel strokes, messy and scribbly with random stray lines sticking out. The eyes should be slightly misaligned, one bigger than the other, with crooked eyelashes and uneven pupils. The nose should be awkwardly shaped, the mouth lopsided and poorly filled. Skin should have visible pixelation, blotchy coloring, and bad airbrush attempts. Add terrible shading that looks like it was done with the spray can tool in MS Paint, with harsh edges and color bleeding. Dress her in a poorly drawn version of the reference outfit using blocky shapes, wrong perspective, and mismatched colors. The hands and fingers must look broken and deformed, with extra or missing fingers. Pose her in a similar position to the reference but make the anatomy completely wrong — shoulders at odd angles, neck too long or too short, head floating unnaturally. Emphasize the low-quality pixel-by-pixel feel with visible compression artifacts, dithering, and 1990s Windows 95 aesthetic. The overall drawing should be vaguely similar to the reference but also not really — kind of matching but off in a confusing, awkward, and hilarious way. Proportions should be ridiculous, symmetry completely broken, colors oversaturated or completely wrong in places. Include random MS Paint artifacts like leftover selection marquees, thick black outlines that don’t match, and clumsy fill bucket overflows. The background must be completely white with no extra elements except maybe a few accidental scribbles or stray pixels. Make it look like a child or a very unskilled adult spent 10 minutes struggling in MS Paint. Prioritize maximum pathetic quality — the worse it looks, the better. Exaggerate every flaw while still keeping the core identity of the exact face from the reference image recognizable but hilariously distorted. Photorealistic accuracy is forbidden. Only crude, low-resolution, mouse-drawn MS Paint style is allowed. Maximum chaos, maximum awkwardness, maximum comedy in the terrible execution."
