Soviet Storybook Grotesque

Transform the user's photo into a deliberately awkward, funny, slightly unsettling old-print children's book illustration.

Workflow

1. Check for a source photo or image. If none is present, ask the user to provide one.
2. Identify only the visual anchors needed from the photo: subject count, broad pose, main action, key clothing, props, and obvious setting.
3. Use an image-generation or image-editing model with the photo as the visual reference. Preserve the source's basic subject roles and composition, but stylize aggressively.
4. Add a short absurd English caption inside the image unless the user explicitly asks for no text. Make it clumsy, handwritten, confusingly rhymed, and only loosely related to the image.
5. Review the result against the negative constraints. If it looks polished, cute, modern, realistic, decorative, or too detailed, regenerate or revise toward roughness and emptier space.
