Prompt

Create a vertical top-and-bottom diptych. Arrange the entire canvas vertically, with the upper and lower halves in an exact 1:1 height ratio, creating a clear and complete visual comparison.

Upper half:
Directly present the original image uploaded by the user, treating it as the sole reference for the subject. Focus on preserving the central person, pet, or animal. Prioritize the subject's facial features, hairstyle or fur characteristics, facial structure, expression, action, clothing, accessories, body silhouette, and overall character.
If the original image also contains architecture, interiors, street scenes, furniture, or landscapes, treat them only as subdued supporting backgrounds rather than primary subjects.
Keep the upper half photographic, with natural light and the original shooting atmosphere. It should be immediately recognizable as the original reference image itself. Do not turn the upper half into an illustration or stylized repainting.

Lower half:
Reconstruct the same person, pet, or animal from the upper half as a black-and-white ink drawing.
Emphasize the subject's most distinctive features. Do not mechanically copy every photographic detail; retain the most recognizable face shape, silhouette, pose, expression, relationships between actions, and sense of identity.
Use a 1970s two-dimensional animation aesthetic, emphasizing bold, rhythmical, high-contrast contours, sharp and clear line art, minimal yet varied line weights, and the graphic language of vintage animation cleanup drawings.
Use a high-key composition, adding a pure white backing around the subject or in selected areas to make the subject stand out clearly from the background.
Use only black and white. Do not add shadows, colors, grayscale, or intermediate tones. Avoid sketch-style light-and-shade modeling and colored accents.
Rather than depicting complex surroundings, use variations in line weight and density and simplified contours to create a vintage, graphic, animated black-and-white appearance.
For a human subject, emphasize expression, hairstyle, action, and clothing silhouette. For a pet or animal, emphasize ears, fur edges, eyes, body posture, and the rhythm of its movement.
The result should clearly communicate that the upper half is the real original image and the lower half translates the same subject into a 1970s black-and-white animated ink character.

Overall requirements:
The two halves must have a clear visual correspondence, making the lower half immediately recognizable as a stylized translation of the subject above.
Keep the image clean, restrained, and thoughtfully designed. Do not generate unnecessary text, logos, watermarks, or unrelated subjects. Do not let architecture or background elements compete for visual attention.
