prompt

FACE MATCH FIRST: the exact two people in the attached photo - copy each face feature for feature, his facial hair as the reference, never swapping or averaging the two.

STYLE: a warm painterly retro illustration - smooth blended shading, soft airbrushed light, a wide pastel sunset sky, gentle grain over the whole image.

A quiet beach road at sunset, a yellow-tanked motorcycle on its stand. She sits side-saddle on the seat in a denim pinafore over a striped tee and white high-tops, hands resting in her lap, fingers countable; he leans on the handlebars in a maroon shirt and pale jeans, forearms crossed over the bars, hands open and countable. Heads at different heights, neither face overlapping, both looking at each other in three-quarter with all four eyes visible. Vertical 4:5.

The face is drawn to the reference's exact proportions - same hairline, brow shape, eye size and spacing, nose, lips and jaw - recognisable at a glance, eyes their real size and never enlarged, never a generic stylised face. High resolution, clean edges, no artefacts, no extra limbs or duplicated features. No lettering anywhere.

CHECK: both faces must match their own reference exactly.
