Style
Retro anime
Line and flat colour do the work: features simplified, contours inked, colour laid down in clean areas.
Both sample pets are AI-generated demonstration photographs — not customer pets, and not pictures of real animals. Every styled version is one real generation, not a mock-up, and the model draws it differently every time.
The prompt
This is the whole thing, word for word — the same text we send.
Redraw this pet entirely as a character from 1990s hand-painted cel animation: flat cel paint in slightly faded warm colors, crisp hand-inked outlines of even weight, simple two-tone shadow shapes with hard edges, and the soft grain of film-era animation over the whole drawing — fully drawn, no photographic texture may remain anywhere. Keep this exact pet completely recognizable: the same pose, the same body proportions, the same fur colors and every unique marking, the same eye color and expression, all rendered in cel paint. Place the pet on a plain solid white background, the whole pet inside the frame, with a clearly defined silhouette. The source photo may be poorly lit or off-color — render with bright, even, flattering light and rich, well-balanced colors regardless. No text, no watermark, no signature, no border.
Why the highlighted sentence matters
Image models don't return a transparent background — the picture comes back opaque, and the cut line has to be found again afterwards. A busy or bled-out background is a cut line a factory would sew wrong. That one sentence is what keeps the edge findable.

Why it prints well
- A heavy ink contour is the friendliest possible thing to hand a cutter: the cut line is already drawn on the artwork.
- Flat fills survive the weave intact — there is no delicate tonal detail for the fabric to swallow.
One honest note
The two pets above are AI-generated demonstration photographs — not customer pets, and not pictures of real animals. Each styled half is one real pass of this prompt, not a best-of, and AI draws it differently every time: yours will come out in this style, and it will not come out identical to these pictures.
