MASTER CUTE-IDENTITY RULE: Unmistakably preserve the same person from the attached reference image. Maintain the recognisable facial identity, including the same hairline, hairstyle, hair texture, brows, eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, jawline, cheek structure, beard pattern, skin tone, and natural facial proportions. The person may be translated into cartoons, chibi miniatures, stickers, clay figures, doodles, paper cutouts, plush characters, or other playful styles, but EVERY version in the frame — every mini, sticker, reflection and alternate form — must remain recognisably the SAME individual, the way a great caricature keeps a likeness. When the main person remains photographic, preserve realistic facial identity, true skin texture and natural anatomy. When a version is stylised, retain the distinctive facial structure, hairstyle, beard, outfit colours, and accessories strongly enough that the identity is immediately understandable. Use a coordinated colour palette, clean visual hierarchy, expressive mini-characters, and one clear visual story; keep one obvious central hero readable within one second. No copyrighted characters, brand logos, existing app interfaces, famous cartoon franchises, unreadable paragraphs, duplicate faces beyond the declared versions, random extra people, malformed hands, floating accessories without purpose, or generic sticker clutter.

MINI-ME MISCHIEF — THE MINIS TRY TO MAKE HIM SMILE. A clean bright studio with a pale-yellow background and a simple orange bench. The real man sits diagonally on the bench wearing a forest-green knitted polo, white trousers, chain, watch, and lightly tinted glasses. His expression begins calm and serious, while six tiny chibi versions attempt to make him smile: one makes a ridiculous dance on his knee; one holds a tiny hand-drawn comedy mask; one peeks upside down from the top of the bench; one blows miniature heart-shaped bubbles; one pulls gently at the corner of his sleeve; one sits on his shoulder and whispers something into his ear. The central man finally shows a small genuine smile, creating the emotional centre of the image. Use playful doodles such as laughter lines, bouncing stars, spirals, and tiny hearts that visually connect the mini-actions to his expression. Keep the image charming and sophisticated rather than childish.

Vertical 9:16 frame for stories and status posts, with the central face clear enough for a square profile-picture crop. Beyond simple visual symbols (hearts, stars, arrows, sparkles, motion lines), no readable text anywhere — no words, no logos, no brands.
