Late Night Snack Run

MASTER SCENE PROMPT — LATE-1980s NIGHT CONVENIENCE STORE
80s ANIME PROMPT GALLERY
VERTICAL 3:4 — MAXIMUM IDENTITY PRESERVATION

Create ONE highly detailed, cinematic, hand-drawn Japanese anime illustration that looks like a genuine frame from a high-quality late-1980s OVA or theatrical slice-of-life anime.

The uploaded PERSON REFERENCE must be used ONLY to preserve the exact identity of the person.

The final character must clearly and immediately look like the same real person from the uploaded photograph, translated faithfully into authentic late-1980s Japanese cel animation.

DO NOT copy the original photograph's clothing, pose, background, lighting, camera angle, environment, or accessories.

Instead, place the same recognizable person into the exact convenience-store scene described below.

--------------------------------------------------
1. ABSOLUTE IDENTITY PRESERVATION
--------------------------------------------------

- nose length
- nose width
- nose placement
- mouth width
- lip shape
- philtrum
- cheek structure
- jawline
- jaw width
- chin shape
- ear shape
- skin tone
- apparent age
- facial hair pattern
- hairstyle identity
- body proportions
- distinctive asymmetry
- recognizable individual features

The subject must remain unmistakably the SAME PERSON.

Do not beautify the person.

Do not slim the face unless it is naturally slim.

Do not enlarge the eyes.

Do not reduce the nose.

NO warped facial plane.
NO displaced chin.
NO bent jaw.
NO stretched forehead.
NO distorted cheeks.
NO uneven eyes caused by AI error.
NO asymmetrical facial deformation.
NO fisheye distortion.
NO extreme foreshortening.

The face must retain natural human geometry.

--------------------------------------------------
2. EXACT SCENE CONCEPT
--------------------------------------------------

Place the character inside a large, authentic American neighborhood convenience store during a rainy night in approximately 1987–1989.

This is not a futuristic store.

This is not a modern supermarket.

It must feel like a real late-1980s urban convenience store photographed as an anime production background.

The store interior is relatively spacious and extends visibly behind the character.

The visual feeling should be:

"a quiet late-night stop at a neighborhood convenience store after a long day."

The moment is ordinary, relaxed, nostalgic, cinematic, and believable.

--------------------------------------------------
3. CAMERA AND COMPOSITION — KEEP THIS STRUCTURE
--------------------------------------------------

VERTICAL 3:4 COMPOSITION.

Use a natural eye-level to very slightly low camera position.

Camera is positioned several meters inside the store.

Use a natural three-quarter frontal perspective.

Do NOT use a close portrait.

Do NOT crop tightly around the face.

Show the character approximately full-body, from head to shoes.

The main character stands slightly LEFT OF CENTER.

The body is oriented diagonally toward the merchandise shelf on the left side of the frame.

The character's face is turned gently toward the camera.

The composition must clearly include:

LEFT:
a tall merchandise shelf extending vertically through most of the frame.

CENTER:
the main character.

CENTER BACKGROUND:
large glass entrance doors and windows showing the rainy street outside.

RIGHT BACKGROUND:
the cashier counter and cashier.

LOWER RIGHT:
a large newspaper and magazine display rack.

Keep a clear aisle between the main character and cashier counter.

The composition must feel spacious, not cramped.

Avoid wide-angle distortion.

Use approximately a natural 40–50mm cinematic field of view.

--------------------------------------------------
4. MAIN CHARACTER POSE
--------------------------------------------------

The character is casually shopping.

The character stands naturally beside the LEFT merchandise shelf.

One arm reaches gently toward the shelf at approximately chest height.

The hand is selecting or touching a red canned soft drink.

The gesture must be physically natural.

Finger count and hand anatomy must be correct.

The other arm hangs naturally downward and holds a SMALL RED PLASTIC SHOPPING BASKET.

The basket contains several ordinary convenience-store items such as:

- a bag of potato chips
- one or two beverage cans
- packaged snacks
- small grocery items

Do not overload the basket.

The basket must hang naturally from the hand.

The wrist must connect correctly to the basket handle.

No floating objects.

No malformed hands.

No duplicated fingers.

--------------------------------------------------
5. FACIAL EXPRESSION
--------------------------------------------------

Use a quiet, natural, slightly tired but calm expression.

The person may show a very subtle restrained half-smile.

The expression should suggest:

"a brief stop after a long day."

Eyes should be relaxed.

No exaggerated anime emotion.

No dramatic smile.

No surprised expression.

No open mouth.

Facial expression must not alter identity.

--------------------------------------------------
6. WARDROBE — EXACT LATE-1980s CASUAL LOOK

No smartwatch.

No contemporary fashion.

No slim-fit modern jeans.

No modern luxury sneakers.

No futuristic accessories.

The clothing should look naturally worn, not costume-like.

--------------------------------------------------
7. HAIR
--------------------------------------------------

Preserve the person's recognizable hairline, hair density, facial hair, and general hairstyle identity.

Translate the hairstyle into believable late-1980s anime drawing.

Use simplified hand-drawn hair masses.

Do not add excessive digital strands.

Do not artificially enlarge the hair.

Do not alter the skull proportions.

If the reference person has facial hair, preserve its recognizable distribution and density.

--------------------------------------------------
8. LEFT SIDE — MERCHANDISE SHELF
--------------------------------------------------

The entire LEFT foreground should contain a tall traditional metal convenience-store shelf.

The shelf begins close to the camera and continues backward.

Fill it densely but realistically with period-appropriate products.

Visible merchandise may include:

- canned cola
- canned lemon-lime soda
- bottled soft drinks
- chips
- packaged crackers
- candy
- chewing gum
- canned foods

It must not extend outside through the doorway.

Maintain correct shelf perspective.

Behind the character, place a large glass storefront entrance occupying much of the central background.

Use dark metal framing around the glass doors and windows.

Through the glass, show the rainy city street.

Include subtle reflections from fluorescent lights on the glass.

On the glass/window area, include several period-authentic signs.

Suggested placement:

UPPER LEFT WINDOW:
large vintage green 7UP-style advertisement.

Use a believable late-1980s male clerk with:

- glasses if appropriate
- short-sleeved work shirt
- dark red or burgundy store vest/apron

The cashier should be looking downward and working.

Identity accuracy has priority over stylization.

--------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------
FINAL OUTPUT
--------------------------------------------------

Aspect ratio: 3:4 vertical.

The final result should feel like:

"A beautifully preserved frame from a serious late-1980s Japanese OVA depicting the same recognizable person making a quiet late-night stop inside a large American convenience store while rain reflects warm streetlights outside."

The image must visually belong to the late 1980s — not merely imitate them.
