Claymation (Aardman-Style Clay)

Transform the uploaded photograph into a STOP-MOTION CLAYMATION character (Aardman / plasticine style) — re-render the subject(s) as moulded clay figures on a handmade set.

SUBJECT: the person/people (or pet) in the uploaded photograph.

LIKENESS THROUGH STYLE (mandatory):
- A STYLE TRANSFORMATION: render the subject(s) as clay characters, but still RECOGNISABLE — keep face shape, key features, expression, hairstyle, the pose, and the outfit's look, translated into clay. "That's [them] in claymation."
- Render everything as CLAY UNIFORMLY (figures + set) — one coherent stop-motion world (not a photo-real face on a clay body).
- Preserve identity cues — face shape, true skin tone as matte clay, hair sculpted in clay, glasses/beard sculpted too. For couples/groups keep each clay figure DISTINCT; never blend.

Claymation style spec:
- Moulded PLASTICINE look — matte clay surface with subtle FINGERPRINTS, sculpting TOOL MARKS, and the slightly lumpy hand-made charm; rounded simplified forms.
- Faces with the appealing Aardman character look (a bit of a wide mouth/big eyes) but keeping the person's real features and expression; hair as sculpted clay clumps; clothing as clay with seam lines.
- Warm SET LIGHTING of a stop-motion tabletop — soft key, gentle shadows, shallow depth-of-field, a handmade miniature SET background (clay/cardboard props).
- Colour: warm, slightly saturated, cosy stop-motion palette.

Preserve from the original: number of figures, pose and relative positions, composition, outfit look, each person's likeness (in clay).

Output: a single claymation-style render, no text, no border, no watermark. Aspect ratio matching the upload (or 4:5).
