🚨 NEW PROMPT DROP 🚨
Transform your Azuki NFT into an authentic manga concept sketch
Huge 🙏 respect to the
legendary @steamboy33
This prompt is inspired by the presentation style only,it does not copy his signature or claim to be his artwork.
Prompt:
Use the uploaded NFT/PFP as the only reference. Preserve the exact identity, including facial features, hairstyle, expression, proportions, silhouette, clothing, accessories, weapons, symbols, logos, colors, materials, personality, pose, and overall visual design. Do not redesign, reinterpret, replace, simplify, or invent any element. The character must remain instantly recognizable.
Transform the character into a premium hand-drawn Japanese manga concept illustration inspired by professional mangaka presentation sketches created with brush pens, fineliners, alcohol markers, and paper.
Drawing Style
The artwork must look genuinely hand-drawn rather than digitally polished. Use expressive black ink linework with subtle line wobble, loose construction lines, overlapping strokes, sketch marks, slight imperfections, dry-brush textures, natural marker bleed, and visible alcohol marker passes. Keep the rendering clean, confident, and graphic, allowing the paper texture and negative space to remain visible.
Marker Rendering
Render shadows using neutral gray alcohol markers with authentic streaks, overlapping passes, slight value variation, and natural hand-colored texture. Avoid smooth digital gradients or airbrushed shading.
Color Palette
Remap the entire NFT/PFP into this palette only:
Black ink
Neutral gray marker shading
White/off-white sketchbook paper
One bold crimson-red rectangular marker block behind the character
The character itself must be rendered exclusively in black, gray, and white.
Red is permitted only for:
the background rectangle
the AZUKI title
original red design elements translated into the same crimson tone
Do not use any other colors.
Composition
Create a centered portrait or upper-body concept sheet with balanced spacing and strong presentation-sheet aesthetics. Preserve the original pose, perspective, proportions, orientation, and attitude.
Typography
Place AZUKI centered above the character in bold uppercase crimson red.Recreate the official AZUKI wordmark with matching proportions, spacing, geometry, and overall appearance. Do not substitute it with a similar font, handwritten lettering, or an original logo design.
Include exactly one handwritten brush-style signature reading:
[ YOUR NAME ]
Place it only in the upper-left corner.
No additional text, Japanese writing, labels, seals, stamps, icons, badges, or logos.
Presentation
The final artwork should resemble an authentic manga concept sheet scanned or photographed from a professional artist's sketchbook, with visible evidence of traditional drawing tools and handcrafted execution.
