Turn this photo into a stop-motion clay character of me. Keep my hairstyle, glasses, skin tone and expression recognisable.

Visible thumbprints in the clay, slightly lumpy handmade shapes, bright toy-set lighting, a small miniature set of [SETTING], tilt-shift depth of field, cheerful mood.

Mention 2 or 3 features you want kept, such as glasses or a beard.

What you will get

A stop-motion clay version of you with visible thumbprints, slightly lumpy handmade shapes, bright toy-set light, a tiny miniature set and a tilt-shift look, keeping your hair, glasses and skin tone.

Common mistake

It looks like smooth 3D animation, not clay.

Fix: Say “matte plasticine with fingerprints, tiny seams and uneven edges, no glossy plastic”.

Also watch for
  • A feature you care about, such as glasses, goes missing. Name two or three features in the prompt, like “round red glasses, curly hair, a gap-toothed grin”.
  • The miniature set is empty or blurry. List three objects for the set, for example “a tiny kitchen, a cooker and a teapot”. Small named things give the scene its charm.
Try a variation: create a family set

Run it once per person with the same set and lighting words, then ask for a group shot using all the characters. The matching style makes a fun card or poster.

Still not right? Reply with this

Keep my glasses, hair and smile. Make the clay look more handmade with visible fingerprints, and put a tiny garden set behind me.
