onvert an input image into a cartoon character using the DALL-E 2 model

Hello, I am implementing a system to convert an input image into a cartoon character using the DALL-E 2 model. My question is: From a technical standpoint, what are the steps (e.g., preprocessing, encoding to latent space, applying modifications via img2img or inpainting, decoding the output, and storage) that should be carried out to convert an input image into a cartoon character?
