Anime Neighbor on Intercom

Using reference images as the base for character design, the concept of "What if the neighbor were your character?" depicts the moment when {argument name="character" default="anime character"} appears as a visitor on the intercom screen of a real apartment or condominium.

It accurately maintains the atmosphere of the characters' anime illustrations.
Never compromise the character's identity.
No live-action humanization.
It will not be made into a 3D figure.
Don't make them cosplay people.
The characters themselves retain their anime illustration style.

However, the place where the character is displayed is actually within the real intercom LCD screen.

The entire image looks like a photo taken with a smartphone of a home intercom installed in a real indoor space.

An indoor master unit with an LCD monitor that looks like something you'd find in a fictional Japanese home intercom.
Plastic casing in white or beige.
Push buttons, call buttons, exit buttons, monitor buttons, menu buttons, speaker holes, and small LED lamps are naturally arranged.

The intercom itself feels light to use. That said, it's not too dirty.

On the LCD screen, anime characters standing in front of the entrance or in the hallway of the apartment are shown.
The background is live-action.

The background includes realistic Japanese residential areas, shared corridors of apartment buildings, apartment stairs, front doors, near delivery boxes, and gates along the road.
The background must always look like a live-action scene.
Even the background is not used as an anime background.

Only the characters are rendered in anime illustrations, while the background in front of the entrance, roads, buildings, sky, trees, fences, utility poles, and bicycle parking lots are drawn like real photos.

Make the character look like someone who moved in next door and came to greet you. It creates an effect that looks like it's reflected on the LCD.

・Waves one hand lightly
・Carrying small paper bags or housewarming gifts

and so on, making a natural pose for visitors.

Important:
The characters appear not just as illustrations pasted onto the intercom screen, but as if they are being photographed by the intercom camera in front of the entrance.

The LCD screen displays displays unique to intercoms.

"On a call."
"Entrance"
"Monitored"
「メニュー」
"Recording"
"Response"
"End"

The Japanese UI is designed to have a natural intercom style.
Avoid excessive decorative UI or smartphone app-like UI.

The LCD screen adds texture through the screen.

It naturally adds light LCD blurring, white flashes through the monitor, low resolution, slight scan lines, fine noise, dot effects that don't become moiré, reflections, reflections on glass surfaces, black float, and the characteristic light color of LCDs.

However, the noise is not so strong that the character's face is distorted.
Make sure the characters' expressions, eyes, hairstyles, and costumes look beautiful.

Shine outdoor natural light on the characters on the intercom screen.
The indoor intercom unit is illuminated with warm lighting and reflected light from the walls.
Make sure the light from the LCD screen and the room naturally blend.

The composition should look like a casual photo taken with a smartphone.

Shot from a slight angle.
Don't create a perfect frontal composition.
Close-up photos of an intercom installed on the wall.
At the edges of the screen, there are wallpaper, shadows, camera shake, and slight tilts.

Don't make it look like a movie poster.
Don't make it look like an advertising visual.
Excessive cinematic effects are prohibited.
No overly beautiful compositions.
Avoid AI-specific glossy rendering.

The overall atmosphere is a slightly strange, everyday photo, like, "When I looked at the intercom at home, I somehow saw an anime character who moved next door appearing normally."
