Copy a prompt into the chat and replace the details with your own.

“Make this character a real person in a photo: real skin, natural light, hair and clothes as in the picture.”

“Show the character as a cosplay photo on a Tokyo street in the evening.”

“Make a realistic portrait from this drawing, like a studio photo.”

Tips

  • The bigger the character in the picture, the better.
  • Say what to keep: hair colour, eyes, clothes.
  • Add a place and light: “street at sunset”, “studio, soft light”.

Good to know

It looks like a photo but it is a picture the AI drew. Characters from other people’s anime belong to their authors: fine for yourself and fan art, not for sale without permission.
