FACE MATCH IS THE TOP PRIORITY. These are the exact two people in the attached reference photo - not lookalikes. Copy both faces feature by feature - hairline, hair, brows, eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, jawline, skin tone - every proportion identical, so anyone who knows them recognises both instantly; do not beautify or genericise either face. From the reference keep only the faces and hair.

ART: a warm 2D illustrated still - clean painterly lines, soft cel shading - both faces drawn ON MODEL from the reference, every feature and proportion exact, eyes their real size, never anime-enlarged. An illustrated beach selfie at sunset: the near arm reaching out of frame toward the viewer, no phone visible. They stand ankle-deep at the painted tide line, the sun low behind them camera-left. COUPLE LAW: one simple natural contact only, hands never interlocked, no kiss, both faces at least three-quarter to the lens with all four eyes carrying catchlights. The one contact: his arm around her upper back with the hand open and countable, her head upright beside his, close but never touching; her free hand holds her sandals by the straps at her side. The open bright sky facing them is the face light - both faces brightest with drawn catchlights - while the low sun rims their hair gold. Hair strands kept clear of both faces. Both smile soft and full into the lens. Vertical 9:16, chest-up. Only these two people. No text anywhere.

LIGHT LAW: the face is lit only by this scene's own light - same direction, same colour temperature, same softness, with shadows falling exactly as the environment dictates - never a pasted studio face.

FINAL CHECK: compare both faces against the attached reference - both identities must match exactly; if any feature differs, it is wrong.

How to use this prompt

Both individuals' reference faces must be provided in high detail to ensure accurate replication in the artwork. The prompt expects three-quarter angles and a vibrant sunset backdrop, prioritizing warm lighting. Ensure no other elements distract from the faces, and keep all facial characteristics precise.
