Notes
Tested from an original fictional adult portrait reference. GPT Image 2 text-to-image created the before reference, with one local TLS polling interruption recovered by checking the same task again. GPT Image 2 image-to-image created the final anime portrait in 130 seconds after the reference image was available. The prompt preserved short dark wavy hair, brown eyes, the teal sweater, relaxed expression, and shoulder-up framing while adding clean anime line art, expressive eyes, cel shading, and warm rim light.
Prompt
Transform the uploaded reference portrait into a polished original anime portrait avatar while preserving the person’s pose, short dark wavy hair, warm brown eyes, teal sweater, relaxed expression, and overall facial proportions. Render in a clean modern anime style with expressive eyes, elegant line art, soft cel shading, natural skin tones, subtle blush, detailed hair highlights, gentle rim light, and a soft pastel studio background. Keep the portrait shoulder-up and centered, high-quality avatar composition, original character design, no readable text, no logos, no watermark, no celebrity resemblance, no specific artist or studio style, no exaggerated childlike features, no distorted face, no extra people, square 1:1 composition.
