Sample prompt to create animated images on Nano Banana Pro

Rubber Hose Animation

Create a vintage 1930s rubber hose animation style illustration of a cheerful cat wearing a bowler hat and white gloves dancing on a steamboat. The character should have noodle-like limbs without joints, pie-cut eyes, and a simple body shape. The image should be black and white with a heavy film grain, flickering scratches, and a vignetted border, set in a 4:3 aspect ratio.

Create a Clear Line (Ligne Claire) style illustration of a young reporter exploring a sunny European market square. Use precise, continuous black outlines of equal width for every element in the scene. The coloring must be flat, vivid, and saturated without any cross-hatching or gradient shading. The composition should be clean and readable, formatted in a 3:2 landscape aspect ratio.

Create a Mid-Century Modern UPA style cartoon background and character. The scene features a stylized jazz musician playing a saxophone in a minimalist city apartment. Use geometric abstraction, off-register color blocks, and a flat graphic design aesthetic. The perspective should be flattened using a retro palette of mustard yellow, teal, and charcoal gray in a wide 16:9 aspect ratio.

Create a scene in the style of a modern adult animated sitcom. The character is a slightly disheveled middle-aged man standing in a generic suburban living room. The art should feature loose, slightly crude hand-drawn linework, flat coloring, and exaggerated facial features like a slight overbite and tired eyes, presented in a 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio.

Saturday Morning Cartoon (80s/90s)

Create an 80s Saturday morning cartoon action shot. A muscular space hero with a laser sword is striking a dynamic pose against a starry purple background. The image should feature heavy black shadows, cel-shaded coloring, and a slightly low-budget hand-drawn animation look with vibrant, saturated colors in a 4:3 TV aspect ratio.

Vector bold lines

Create a thick-line vector art illustration of a teenager skateboarding. The character must have very bold, distinct black outlines and smooth, clean vector curves. Use bright, flat colors with minimal shading. The style should resemble high-quality flash animation or sticker art with a white border around the main character, in a square 1:1 aspect ratio.

Watercolor book

Create a whimsical watercolor storybook illustration of a brown bear wearing a scarf, sitting on a log in a forest drinking tea. The art should feature soft, painterly edges, gentle ink wash outlines, and a pastel color palette. The texture of cold-press paper should be visible, creating a gentle atmosphere in a vertical 3:4 aspect ratio.

Paper cut form

Create a digital illustration mimicking a paper cut-out style. The scene depicts a submarine exploring an underwater reef. All elements, including the fish and seaweed, should look like layered construction paper with visible scissor-cut edges and slight drop shadows between layers to create depth. Use vibrant blues and greens in a 16:9 aspect ratio.
