A detailed prompt for transforming a character into a Showa-era aristocrat or 'cross-dressed lady' style, maintaining character consistency while completely redesigning the attire.
Using the attached image as a character reference, draw a new illustration of the same character while maintaining facial features, hairstyle, hair color, eyes, age, body type, atmosphere, and charm. Do not reproduce the original outfit; the outfit is a completely new design. The outfit should be in the style of a "cross-dressing lady" or a "young gentleman from the early Showa era." It should be a classical and elegant Japanese-Western fusion style of the early Showa era upper class. Based on a tailored jacket, vest, high-waisted slacks, white shirt, and thin tie or ribbon tie, add leather gloves, a pocket watch, leather shoes or short boots, a cape, a long coat, a hat, a cane, or a high-quality leather bag as needed. For female characters with long hair, do not leave the hair down; tie it in a loose low pony or a low chignon. Arrange it so that the neck, collar, tie, and vest are visible, leaving only a few stray hairs. Prioritize a dignified beauty that is not too sweet. For female characters, do not make them completely masculine, but leave a lady-like delicacy and elegance. For male characters, finish them naturally in the style of a young gentleman, aristocrat, or modern boy. For both, focus on elegance, intelligence, and a slightly androgynous charm. Colors should be centered around black, charcoal gray, navy, deep brown, ivory, and bordeaux. Create a high-quality and calm impression, letting the textures of wool, tweed, velvet, and leather be felt. Change the pose and composition from the reference image to an elegant pose such as standing, sitting, holding a hat, or resting a hand on a cane. For expressions, prioritize elegance and intelligence over cuteness, such as a quiet smile, a cool gaze, or a slightly provocative expression. The background is a western-style building from the early Showa era, a hotel lobby, a study, a station building, or a tea room. Make the character the protagonist. Summarize the overall atmosphere as elegant, classical, intellectual, and slightly mysterious.
