Stylized 3D Caricature Portrait Prompt - Nano Banana Pro AI Prompt for Profile / Avatar
Create an exaggerated stylized 3D caricature character portrait with strong intentional deformation and a clean, controlled surface finish. Use the person from the ATTACHED REFERENCE PHOTO. Preserve the subject’s identity, facial likeness, skin tone, and defining features, but reinterpret them into a bold caricatured 3D form with an elongated neck, oversized head-to-neck ratio, droopy eyelids, heavy lips, and slightly asymmetrical facial structure.Render as a human-like 3D character with smooth, studio-clean skin and intentionally designed detail, avoiding random texture or noise. Style with bold accessories such as round or oval glasses, hoop earrings, gold chains, headscarves or bandanas, and street-luxury clothing. Use neutral studio lighting with soft shadows and even illumination, no dramatic contrast, against a plain neutral grey or off-white background.

Keep the mood minimal, modern, stylish, and highly Instagram-worthy.

Professional Corporate Headshot Poster Creator
Using the portrait photo you upload, create a polished formal business headshot poster. Keep the person's real facial features, proportions, face shape, and overall presence intact — do not change who they look like. Lightly refine the facial contour to look cleaner and more photogenic. Smooth skin texture and reduce blemishes or uneven tone without over-retouching — preserve natural skin detail and realistic lighting. Give the subject a business hairstyle tailored to their face shape: neat, professional, and natural-looking, not exaggerated. Dress them in formal business attire — dark suit jacket, white or light shirt, optional tie — for a premium, minimal, trustworthy appearance. Composition: frontal half-body portrait, subject centered, looking directly at the camera with a calm, confident expression. Plain solid white background with soft, even lighting — similar to a professional ID photo or corporate headshot. Style: clean, formal, photorealistic, square 1:1 ratio. Include a clean info bar at the bottom with modern minimal typography: Name: [Yuna Koizumi] (name) Title: [Senior Graphic Designer] (job title) Department / Institution: [International Design Institute] (institution) Text rule: if any label text is in Chinese or another language, translate it to formal English before placing it in the image. Do not display Chinese in the image unless explicitly asked. Typography: Name in dark navy bold large font (first line); Title and Department in black regular weight (second and third lines). Layout should reference university faculty profile pages or professional conference speaker cards.3a:T6b2,Us

FAQ
- How does the reference lock handle outfit changes without altering identity?
- It explicitly locks face identity, facial structure, pose, framing and lighting while listing exact outfit, formal corporate styling and celebrity association in the do-not-copy section so the generated result stays true to the person but feels modern and casual.
- Why include an 85mm f2.8 setting in this avatar prompt?
- The combination creates that signature editorial shallow depth of field, keeping eyes and facial details tack-sharp while softly blurring the muted gradient background for a premium magazine-quality profile image.
