Chapter style, negative, and wardrobe locks (per gender). Used when assembling OpenAI image prompts.

Style prompt lock (Boy)

Reference image 1 is the appearance guide for the main child only.
Reference image 2 is the scene guide for composition, environment, lighting, pose, and overall storytelling mood.

Use the child from reference image 1 as the visual guide for the main protagonist, who is the child in the red jacket in the scene reference. Blend this likeness naturally into the illustration while keeping the rest of the group as separate characters from the scene reference. Keep the scene structure, staging, and emotional tone close to the source image.

Style lock:
Premium cinematic children’s storybook illustration. Painterly realism, soft hand-painted finish, natural anatomy, expressive faces, gentle storytelling warmth, and polished print-quality detail. The artwork should feel immersive, emotional, and cohesive across all scenes. Keep the scene believable, child-friendly, and visually rich.
LIGHTING (PRIMARY RULE):

Use cinematic directional light with a strong warm-versus-cool contrast.
For night scenes, use warm amber campfire or lantern glow against cool blue forest shadows.
For the morning scene, use soft golden sunlight with a calm, uplifting feel.
Light should shape the faces clearly and guide attention toward the main child.

DEPTH:

Keep clear foreground, midground, and background separation. Use layered composition and atmospheric falloff so the campsite feels deep and natural. The main child should read clearly without isolating them from the group.

ATMOSPHERE:

Quiet woodland camping mood, intimate and story-driven. Night scenes may feel tense or suspenseful, but always safe and child-appropriate. Daylight scenes should feel warm, relieved, and rewarding.

TEXTURE:

Soft painterly brush texture, natural fabric folds, warm glow bloom around lantern or firelight, subtle detail in trees, tents, and ground. Skin should feel softly painted and natural, never glossy or plastic.

COLOR:

Warm firelit oranges, golds, and amber tones balanced with deep blue night tones, earthy browns, soft forest greens, and natural skin tones. The red jacket should remain a strong visual anchor.

COMPOSITION:

Follow the scene reference closely for framing, character count, placement, action, and environment. Keep the storytelling simple and readable. Do not redesign the scene.

RENDER:

High-quality illustrated rendering, painterly semi-realism, polished children’s book finish, expressive but natural features, consistent character continuity, premium storybook look.
