Make it in TelegramThe prompt behind this style
Turn this photo into a stop-motion claymation character. Keep the hairstyle, face shape and outfit recognizable. Visible fingerprints in the clay, slightly uneven handmade surfaces, big expressive eyes, miniature set background, soft studio light. Vertical 3:4, no text.
The handmade clay look
The prompt asks for visible fingerprints, slightly uneven surfaces and a miniature set, the details you see in real stop-motion films. Eyes are large and expressive, shapes are rounded and a little lumpy, and light comes from a soft studio source, as if a tiny set were photographed on a table. Hair looks like sculpted clay, and clothing is simplified into smooth folds. These small imperfections are the point of the style.
Getting a good likeness
Because the face is sculpted by a rough hand, expect a cartoon cousin of yourself rather than a portrait. Keep the identifying features clear in the source photo, such as glasses, beard or a distinctive hairline. Add them to the caption if they get lost. Each run creates a new character, so you can compare versions and pick the one that feels closest. The result is a vertical 3:4 image with no text, which suits a poster, a card or a social post.
Tips
- Send a photo where your hairstyle and outfit are easy to see.
- Name the miniature set in the caption, such as a kitchen, a campsite or a tiny street.
- Bright, saturated clothing colors suit clay better than subtle patterns.
- Glasses and hats are drawn as sculpted pieces and usually survive.
- Run it twice if the eyes look odd. Clay faces vary a lot between runs.
