Use the uploaded reference image as the primary character reference.
Create a premium vertical 3:4 editorial illustration of the same character from the reference image, sitting at a cozy craft table and building a LEGO-style miniature diorama of [New York].
Only the character remains organic and natural. Everything else must be built from visible LEGO-style bricks: landmarks, streets, bridges, rivers, trees, vehicles, people, shops, food stalls, and tiny city details.
Preserve the character’s identity, face shape, eye shape, hairstyle, age impression, expression, mood, and overall styling from the reference image. The character leans forward, gently placing a tiny brick-built landmark into the city, looking calm, proud, and imaginative.
Create a charming handmade LEGO city that feels built by a talented child: visible studs, interlocking bricks, playful proportions, slightly imperfect geometry, cute simplified forms, colorful but balanced details.
Include iconic landmarks and symbols of [New York]:
