Your photo goes to the AI app you choose, never to PromptUp.

What you will get

A character-select portrait of you as a fantasy hero or sci-fi soldier, with your face recognisable, detailed armour and props, a glowing stats frame and dramatic stylised 3D lighting.

Why it works

Character select screens have a set look: a hero in detailed gear inside a glowing frame with stats beside them. The genre blank decides the armour and props, and picking one, as the tip says, keeps the style consistent. Placeholder stats avoid fake text that would need fixing.

Common mistake

The face turns generic and stops looking like you.

Fix: Repeat “keep my face recognisable” and use a clear, front-facing photo. Add your most distinctive feature, such as “my beard and thick eyebrows”.

Also watch for
  • The stats frame shows nonsense text. Ask for “placeholder bars and icons, no readable text”, then add your real class and level in an editor if you want them.
  • The style mixes genres, with armour and sci-fi gadgets together. Pick one genre as the tip says, and add “everything in the picture belongs to that genre, nothing modern”.
Try a variation: full party select screen

Upload photos of three friends and ask for “a character select screen with four heroes in a row, each in a different class, each face recognisable”.

Still not right? Reply with this

Keep my face exactly recognisable. Remove the readable text from the frame and keep the armour in one consistent fantasy style.
