Create a full set of children’s book illustrations in a consistent storybook style. Hand-painted watercolor and pencil textures, whimsical and human-made look, pixel-perfect detailing, soft brushstrokes, natural imperfections, no AI artifacts, no CGI, no 3D render. Must feel like traditional hand-drawn illustrations scanned from paper. Ultra-clear, professional quality, sharp even at 500x zoom. Scenes to illustrate (keep style consistent across all images): Oceania Kingdom — A panoramic underwater kingdom filled with colorful mermaids, coral reefs, glowing seashell houses, rainbow tails shining. Magical and joyful. Lumina Close-up — A young mermaid with shimmering, color-changing scales, flowing hair, dreamy expression, sunlight filtering underwater. Lumina at Sunrise — Lumina sits on a seaside rock at sunrise, tail dripping water, golden-pink sky with seagulls flying. She gazes toward the shore. First Meeting — Bella, a blonde human girl in a summer dress, sits on Lumina’s rock. Lumina surfaces beside her, both surprised and curious. Diving Together — Lumina pulls Bella underwater, bubbles and colorful fish around them, Bella’s hair floating as she smiles in awe. Oceania Arrival — Heart of Oceania with pearl arches, glowing plants, rainbow corals, mermaids swimming, Bella staring in wonder. Rainbow Reef — Close-up of rainbow coral reef with glowing anemones, tiny fish, Bella reaching out while Lumina smiles proudly. City Car Scene — Lumina in a car backseat, wrapped in a blanket with a water bowl, looking out at skyscrapers, neon signs, and busy crowds through the window. Heartfelt Moment — Inside the car, Lumina and Bella smiling warmly at each other, blurred glowing city lights outside the window. Goodbye Hug — On the seaside rock at sunset, Bella hugs Lumina, Lumina’s glowing tail catching golden light, waves gently crashing. Swimming Home — Lumina swims joyfully back in the ocean, glowing jellyfish around her, twilight rays shining down, peaceful and grateful. All illustrations must look human-made, hand-painted, whimsical, warm, and detailed, with natural imperfections that make them feel real and authentic.
