Not Sure What Prompt To Use? Here Are Two Popular Ones To Get You Started:

Prompt 1: A hyper-realistic cinematic scene featuring the uploaded person carefully painting their own figurine at a desk. The figurine stands on a transparent acrylic display base, slightly larger than usual, appearing almost half the height of the person. Both wear the same outfit with matching details. The desk is scattered with painting tools, brushes, and hobby items, creating a creative workshop vibe. The figurine should look ultra-realistic with natural facial details, human skin tones, and premium PVC texture, set in a realistic indoor background with cinematic lighting and sharp details.

Prompt 2: Design a detailed 1/6 scale figurine of the person in a semi-realistic style. Pose the figure heroically atop a textured rocky base with moss and stone accents for a collectible feel. Place the figurine in a glass display with soft LED lighting highlighting the sculpting and paintwork. In the background, include a shelf filled with pop-culture collectibles and art books. Add a premium collector’s box featuring anime-inspired artwork. Use dramatic but balanced lighting to enhance shadows and depth, giving the setup a sleek, polished, product-photography-ready look.

Prompt 3: Illustrate the uploaded individual shaping a life-sized clay self-portrait bust, placed on a robust wooden stand. The studio is illuminated by natural light flooding through a large window. The workspace is cluttered with small tools, incomplete miniature models and reference drawings. The bust features realistic skin tones and detailed facial expressions, precisely replicating the subject’s hairstyle and attire.

Prompt 4: Show the uploaded individual crafting a life-sized clay self-portrait bust, set on a sturdy wooden stand. The workspace is bathed in natural light pouring through a large window. Scattered around are small tools, incomplete miniature sculptures, and reference sketches. The bust showcases realistic skin tones and detailed facial expressions, meticulously capturing the subject’s hairstyle and clothing.
