Confident retro illustrated woman in a polka dot dress and red headband stands hands on hips
Confident retro illustrated blonde woman in a polka dot midi dress stands with hands on her hips
Prompt: Contemporary animation character design + mid-century fashion illustration, where simplified, soft-cornered shapes with no outlines are built through gentle gradient fills and airbrushed blush, and confident brush economy produces negative space via detail spent only at edges where a form turns, leaving the rest of the field bare. The fusion manifests as fine pencil-grain hatching along turning planes, irregular hand-placed repeat marks, and a restricted ochre, peach, black and single vermilion palette, transforming any subject through flat-shape simplification with soft modelled edges. A woman with shoulder-length wavy blonde hair, wearing a white knee-length dress patterned with small black polka dots, puff sleeves and a fitted buttoned bodice, a red knotted headband, large gold hoop earrings, red lipstick and red slingback heels. Full-length shot at eye level, the woman centred and standing square to the viewer with both hands resting on her hips, elbows out, and her ankles crossed, chin slightly raised, her whole figure from headband to shoes held in frame with clear separation from the empty ground behind her. Scene set in a bare studio space against a featureless backdrop during an unspecified time of day, with no atmosphere and no surrounding objects, furniture or environment visible.Made with Nano Banana 2 LiteUse this prompt

Confident retro illustrated woman in a polka dot dress

By @justrob ·

The reference is a polka dot dress, puff sleeves, gold hoops, red headband and heels, standing square against nothing. What changes between these six is how much of the figure stays flat and how much gets volume, and how far the ochre and vermilion hold or drift. Check the hands on the hips and the crossed ankles, since that is usually where these fall apart. Which one would you keep?
