The Prompt
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. The overall aesthetic should feel weird, fashion-forward, collectible, and character-driven rather than cute or realistic. Ultra high definition, premium cinematic 3D render quality, hyper-realistic hyper realism, clean materials, no freckles, no dirt, no grain, no noise, no speckling, no text, no logos, no watermarks. Aspect ratio 9:16

FAQ
- How do I use my own photo with this AI caricature prompt?Upload your photo to your AI generator first, then use the prompt. Replace 'ATTACHED REFERENCE PHOTO' with your generator's specific image reference command (like /imagine in Midjourney).
- Which AI image generators work best for 3D caricatures?Midjourney, DALL-E 3, and Stable Diffusion with proper checkpoints all work. Midjourney handles the 'clean 3D render' style particularly well.
- Why does my caricature not look like my photo?Ensure your photo is clear and well-lit. The AI preserves likeness but exaggerates features. For closer resemblance, use a straightforward front-facing photo as reference.
