varg-character-cartoon
Makes original cartoon characters in famous, instantly recognisable looks on varg: the yellow 1990s family sitcom, the 3D family feature film, hand-painted anime, paper cut-out, adult sci-fi cartoon, felt puppet and others, described in words instead of IP names (the names get blocked and do not belong in ads). Also restyles an existing character into those looks. Use when someone asks for a Simpsons-style, Pixar-style, Ghibli-style, South Park-style or Rick and Morty-style character, a cartoon version of a person or mascot, or "me as a cartoon". Part of varg-character-design (definition, sheet, reuse in video).

# Cartoon characters in famous looks
A loved animation look tells the viewer the genre before the first word: the Ghibli wave added 1M ChatGPT users in an hour, the figurine trend brought Gemini 13M new users in 4 days. The look is free to use; the show's characters, names, logos and catchphrases are not.
Tested on 2026-10-27: Nano Banana 2.1 **refused** "Redraw the woman as a character in The Simpsons style" and drew the same look from a description. GPT Image 2.5 and Seedream 5 Pro accepted the name, but the name still has no place in a prompt you will use for an ad, a title or a caption.
Sheet, crops and video: `varg-character-design`.
## The recipe
**Style block first, then an original character, then the guard line.**
