Make it in TelegramThe prompt behind this style
Turn this photo into a steampunk portrait. Keep the face and expression recognizable. Victorian era clothing with brass goggles, leather straps, gears and copper details, a workshop with pipes and warm gaslight behind. Sepia and bronze palette, painterly realism. Vertical 3:4, no text.
What the steampunk look contains
The prompt describes an alternate Victorian world powered by steam. You see period clothing, brass goggles, leather straps, copper pipes and gears, and a workshop behind you in warm gaslight. Colors stay in sepia and bronze, which makes the picture look like an aged illustration with the detail of a painting. People use it for cosplay planning, game characters, book cover drafts, and as a profile picture for fan communities.
Getting a better result
The AI decides how much hardware to add. If the result looks cluttered, write fewer gears in the caption. If it looks plain, ask for more brass details or a pocket watch. Give the model a face turned slightly toward the light, since gaslight shadows need something to fall on. A name for the clothing helps: waistcoat, long coat, corset, or flight jacket all work as simple wishes.
What to expect
Your face stays recognizable, but small details can drift: eye color, hairline, the shape of a beard. Goggles sometimes cover more of the face than you want. The picture is an illustration, so it will not pass as a real costume photo. A rerun costs the same 2 credits, and the second or third version is often the one you keep.
Tips
- A head and shoulders photo leaves room for the straps, buttons and gears around the neck.
- Name the headwear in the caption, for example a top hat or a leather cap, if you have a preference.
- Glasses can turn into goggles or sit under them, so say in the caption which one you want.
- Keep the background of the source photo plain so the workshop does not mix with a cluttered room.
- Run twice and compare: gear placement changes a lot between runs.
Questions and answers
Can I get a steampunk couple or group?
The prompt is written for one person. Send a single portrait for each person and combine them yourself.
Will it keep my glasses?
Sometimes they turn into goggles. Mention in the caption whether you want to keep regular glasses.
Can I change the colors?
Yes. Ask for green and brass or dark blue in the caption. The default is sepia and bronze.
Is the image a real photo?
No. It is an AI illustration based on your face.
How long does it take?
Usually 1 to 2 minutes and 2 credits per image.
