👩‍❤️‍👨 Couple Goals Grid

**Scene:** A Christmas-themed 3×3 photo-grid collage of two young friends. **Input:** * Left person = Image 1 (always on the left side of the grid, called **CHAR_L**) * Right person = Image 2 (always on the right side of the grid, called **CHAR_R**) **Output:** One single square image containing a 3×3 grid collage (9 tiles combined into one image, not 9 separate images). --- ### 1️⃣ Face Consistency (Highest Priority – Identity Lock) * The face of **CHAR_L** must match the person in Image 1 with very high fidelity: facial structure, face shape, eye shape, nose, mouth, skin tone, and proportions must stay the same. * The face of **CHAR_R** must match the person in Image 2 with very high fidelity. Hard constraints: * No face swapping, no blended faces, no “template face.” * No excessive beauty filters. * Across all 9 tiles, both people must keep the *same* identity. Only expressions may change. ### 2️⃣ Layout & Overall Style * Layout: one image that contains a 3×3 grid (9 square tiles). * Each tile has a thin white or pale-gold decorative border. * It is **one collage image**, not 9 separate images. Style: * High-detail, bright, saturated **modern Japanese Purikura (photo-booth)** style – cute and lively color palette. * Depth of field: shallow DOF – soft bokeh background, sharp people. * Overall: realistic portrait photography, **not** illustration / manga. --- ### 2.5️⃣ Center 3D Pop-out Visual Emphasis (Strengthened) * The central tile is fixed at **Row 2, Column 2** (index 5), with the theme “holding hands heart pose” (see section 6). * The two people appear **larger and closer** to the viewer than in the other 8 tiles, but still with natural full-body proportions. 3D sticker effect: * Apply a white “sticker” outline around the **entire pair** (both people + their hand-heart gesture). * The silhouettes of the center figures clearly **break out of the grid**: head, arms, legs, etc. can extend beyond the [2,2] tile border, partially covering the borders of the four surrounding tiles, creating a “breaking out of the frame” effect. * Add a soft light-gold / beige drop shadow directly under the center figures on top of the grid to enhance depth and floating feeling. * The other 8 tiles remain normal size (mostly half-body / mid-shots) and do **not** break the grid, which further emphasizes the center pop-out tile by contrast. --- ### 3️⃣ Christmas Background (Unified Across the Grid) * Background colors: soft pastel shades such as light pink, lavender, mint green, light blue, in solid or gentle gradients. * Christmas elements: small snowflakes, star glows, tiny hearts, Christmas tree outlines, gift box outlines, etc. scattered in the background. * Across all 9 tiles, the background style must be consistent; small hue variations are fine, but not completely different art styles. --- ### 4️⃣ Clothing & Hair – Gender-Adaptive Christmas Rules * No gender is assumed in advance; the model infers gender from the reference photos. * Clothing templates change only by gender type; **left/right positions never change** (Image 1 always left, Image 2 always right). #### 👗 Female Outfit Template F_A (Cute Santa Style) * Main colors: red or wine-red Christmas dress, or top + skirt set. * White faux-fur trim on neckline / cuffs / hem; optional bows and lace decorations. * Hair: keep original hairstyle; you may add small Christmas hair accessories such as red ribbons, bells, fluffy clips, mini wreaths. * Optional small gold or pearl jewelry. #### 👗 Female Outfit Template F_B (Japanese Lady-like Christmas Style) * Colors: red, white, and green combinations, e.g. * red knit top + plaid skirt, * green sweater + white skirt, etc. * Fabrics: wool, knit, or other warm winter textures. * Hair: keep original, plus subtle Christmas hair accessories. #### 🧣 Male Outfit Template M (Christmas Casual / Semi-Formal) * Top: Christmas-colored sweater (red / green / navy), possibly with snowflake or Nordic geometric patterns; or red / dark-green Christmas jacket / blazer. * Underlayer: shirt or simple turtleneck. * Bottom: dark long trousers. * Optional low-key scarf. * Hair: keep original hairstyle. #### Gender Combinations * **Two females:** * CHAR_L → Template F_A (cute Santa dress). * CHAR_R → Template F_B (Japanese lady-like Christmas outfit). * **One male, one female:** * Female → Template F_A. * Male → Template M. * Left/right positions remain fixed (Image 1 always left, Image 2 always right). * **Two males:** * CHAR_L and CHAR_R both wear Template M. * Different sweater or scarf colors can distinguish them and create a “Christmas brothers / buddies” feeling. * **Hard clothing rules:** * No pajamas, loungewear, T-shirt + jeans everyday outfits. * No overly revealing or non-Christmas outfits. * Outfit style must be exactly the same across all 9 tiles; only folds and perspective may change with the pose. --- ### 6️⃣ 9 Grid Poses (Center = Full-Body 3D Hand-Heart) Overall expression: energetic, playful, a bit cheeky, clearly close friends. #### Row 1 1. **Hair Grab Heart (1,1):** One person playfully grabs their own hair; the other makes a finger-heart gesture. Both smile at the camera. 2. **Double-Hand Big Heart (1,2):** Both use their hands together in the middle to form a big heart shape, with bright, happy smiles. 3. **Crossed-Arms Cheek Pinch (1,3):** Both cross their arms; one person (or both) gently pinch the other’s cheeks. Slight close-up; cute and fun. #### Row 2 4. **Crossed-Arms Overhead Heart (2,1):** Both cross their arms, then use one hand above their heads to form a heart, together forming a big heart, full of laughter. 5. **Hand-Holding Heart (2,2 – Center 3D Full-Body Breakout):** * Full-body shot of both characters, from head to shoes. * They hold each other’s hands; with the free hand, each makes half a heart so that together they form one complete heart in the center. * Soft, sweet smiles; they may look at the camera or at each other. * Figures are slightly larger and pushed forward; apply white sticker outline around the pair; silhouettes break out of the [2,2] grid borders, partially covering surrounding four tiles. * Add a soft shadow under the figures to create a clear 3D “pop-out” effect. 6. **Pinky-Promise + Finger Heart (2,3):** One does a “pinky promise” gesture, the other does a finger-heart. Warm, playful expressions. Normal grid tile (no pop-out). #### Row 3 7. **Crossed-Arms Pout / Tsundere (3,1):** Both cross their arms, make slightly exaggerated pouting or “fake angry / tsundere” faces, but obviously trying not to laugh. 8. **Hand-Holding Cheek-Heart (3,2):** They hold hands; with the other hand each draws a heart shape next to their own cheek. Expression cute and charming. 9. **Crossed-Arms Single-Hand Heart Close-Up (3,3):** Both cross arms and each makes a small finger-heart with one hand. Camera slightly zoomed in, more face-focused; confident smiles. --- ### 7️⃣ Christmas Decorations (0–2 per Tile) * Lightly and randomly add small elements such as snowflakes, stars, light spots, Christmas tree line art, gift box line art, bells, bows, candy canes, little hearts, etc. * Decorations should be light and airy, in neon / hand-drawn line-art style. * They must **not** overpower the image and must **not** cover faces or hand gestures. * Around the central 3D hand-heart foreground, decorations can be slightly richer, but still must not cover faces or hands. --- ### 8️⃣ Text Decorations (Edges Only, Short Phrases) You may add a small amount of short neon hand-written style text at the edges of individual tiles or around the overall collage: * “Merry Christmas” * “Xmas” * “Happy Holidays” * “2025” * “Besties” etc. Text must avoid faces and key hand poses; no logos, watermarks, or long advertising sentences. --- ### 9️⃣ Final Hard Constraints * Only these two people may appear in the image; **no third person**. * Clothing, background style, color tone, and lighting must remain highly consistent across the entire 3×3 grid. * No unrelated text, brand logos, random numbers, or watermarks. * Faces must match the reference photos closely; only expressions may change, not identity or facial structure. * Output must be **one single 3×3 grid collage image** (with the center being the 3D full-body hand-heart foreground), not 9 separate images.
