Prompt

Copy-ready prompt

Create a 4:5 vertical retro urban album-art illustration built around {argument name="city block theme" default="CITY BLOCK THEME"}. Show {argument name="focal subject" default="FOCAL SUBJECT"} naturally interacting within a nostalgic 1990s neighborhood environment. Fill the street with {argument name="street details" default="STREET DETAILS"}, arranged as believable foreground, middle-ground, and background elements without making the composition cluttered.

Use a broad city-block composition from slightly above pedestrian eye level, with strong perspective carrying the viewer through storefronts, sidewalks, brick buildings, stoops, parked objects, utility poles, and distant architecture.

Give the figures simplified cartoon-like anatomy, confident poses, expressive gestures, thick black contour lines, rhythmic motion marks, and playful hand-drawn graphic symbols.

Render the scene in [COLOR PALETTE] using flat color areas, imperfect ink registration, faded halftone shading, rough screen-print edges, paper fibers, tiny scratches, dusty grain, and subtle vintage vinyl-record-sleeve wear.

Add loose graffiti-inspired abstract shapes and energetic marks, but no readable tags or random lettering.

The atmosphere should feel [MOOD], combining neighborhood storytelling, vintage hip-hop visual culture, analog-print character, and handmade editorial illustration.

Keep the artwork original rather than reproducing any specific artist’s identifiable composition. No logos, trademarks, signatures, watermarks, readable brand names, unintended text, borders, grids, collage panels, or photorealism.
