Style Notes

Photo: Asks the model for photorealistic output — natural lighting, believable skin and materials, camera-like depth of field — rather than illustration or 3D looks.
Hero Portrait: A single dominant subject shot like a key visual — tight framing, strong eye contact or pose, background simplified so the character carries the image.
Cute & Playful: Rounded shapes, big eyes, candy palettes, and toy-like proportions — the visual language of mascots and sticker packs.
Soft Light: Diffused, low-contrast lighting — gentle shadows and flattering skin tones, like window light or an overcast day.
Portrait Orientation: Vertical aspect ratio (e.g. 3:4, 9:16) — the native format for phone screens, Stories, and app store screenshots.
Modern Day: Contemporary setting cues — current fashion, devices, and interiors — keeping the model from drifting into retro or fantasy defaults.
Social Media Post: Composition and aspect ratio tuned for feeds (Instagram, X, Xiaohongshu): bold focal subject, room for overlay text, colors that survive small screens.
Avatar / Profile: Head-and-shoulders framing that stays readable as a tiny circle — centered face, clean background, strong color separation.
