Title StyleTransfer_Mandatory Project Rules & Quality Standards ✅

To ensure the highest quality and consistency in all submissions, please follow these rules without exception: 1. Style Fidelity ● The final result image must replicate the style reference precisely, including: ○ Line quality & thickness ○ Brushwork and stroke patterns ○ Shadow style & shading technique ○ Texture and surface detail ○ Overall rendering method and artistic technique ● The result should feel as if the same artist created both the style reference and the result. 2. Emotional & Visual Accuracy ● The expression, mood, and details in the base image must be preserved exactly. ● Do not alter facial expressions or emotional cues. For example: ○ If the subject is smiling in the base image, they must remain smiling in the result. ○ Eye shape and size must remain consistent. ● Shading must match the reference style’s gradient smoothness and tonal steps. ○ Example: If the style reference has four gradient steps in a shadow area, your result must also have four steps — not fewer or more. ○ Avoid oversimplified or overly harsh shadows that do not match the reference. ● Observe fine details such as rosy cheeks, subtle gradients, and multi-step shading transitions as seen in the reference. 3. Content Consistency ● Do not add, remove, or change elements from the base image. ● The result image must match the base photo exactly in: ○ Pose & body position ○ Background elements & layout ○ Lines, shadows, and highlights ○ Clothing colors and patterns ○ Object placement and proportions ● The transformation applies only to the artistic style, not to the content or composition.
