illustration:popa — intricate sketchnote blob
Generate intricate hand-drawn sketchnotes starring Popa: a pink round blob with a green sprout and a notepad. Popa turns a concept, flow, or system into one busy, packed, readable sketchnote on a soft pastel scene — a banner, many linked boxes/notes/arrows/icons, Popa scribbling in the middle — lots of scribblings in the same note, but every word legible.

Core positioning
The goal is to turn a topic — a process, system, argument, or set of features — into one intricate hand-drawn sketchnote: a banner, many small linked ideas in boxes/clouds/tags, arrows and spot icons, with Popa hosting the action. Busy and packed ("lots of scribblings in the same note"), but with clear hierarchy and legible text — no gibberish, ever. Popa is earnest and deadpan; the cuteness is the setup, the situation is the punchline. Popa hosts the note, never just decorates it.
Workflow (engine + Popa specifics)
Follow the five shared steps. Popa specifics:
- Likeness is mandatory: pass
assets/popa-ref/popa_square.png (and tiny_popa2.png for the notepad pose) into the backend with "this is Popa; draw THIS exact character — chubby pear body, green sprout, glossy eyes, rosy cheeks — translated into crude hand-drawn pen line art; do not copy the reference's 3D style or background."
- Intricate density: pack the page with many linked boxes, notes, arrows and icons — busy, not sparse. Big topics can also become a multi-frame series (see composition-patterns).
- Text integrity (hard rule): decide the exact short labels first and allow ONLY those words in the image; never let the model invent text. If a finished frame has a garbled label, fix it with a text-only edit, not a regenerate. See
references/prompt-template.md.
- The notepad gag: when there's room, one tiny legible line on the notepad. Max one per image.
- Pastel background: cream by default (or mint / lavender / blush); for a series keep one tone across frames so they tile. Popa is the only saturated element.
Output style
Pre-generation strategy: short and precise. Delivery report: how many, what each is for, save paths, which are solid vs optional. Let the images talk.
