What should I prepare before starting?

Prepare a clear source image that you have permission to use. Add references where needed and describe the exact changes, along with identities, positions, and details to preserve.

What reference photo works best?

Use a sharp photo with visible eyes and distinctive markings, preferably at the angle you want in the portrait. Avoid tiny crops, heavy filters, and objects covering the face.

Does generation use credits?

Generation uses credits. Check the selected model’s price and your plan before generating. Regenerating a variation also uses credits; review the first result before making more.

Shape the creative brief

Distinctive markings

Identify the patches, eye color, ears, and muzzle shape to preserve.

Portrait mood

Choose playful, dignified, relaxed, or curious rather than a vague style request.

Framing

Select a head study, seated portrait, or full-body composition.

Two prompts to start with

Use these written examples as a starting point. Adapt the subject and references to your project; generated results will vary.

First direction

Using my pet reference, create a warm gouache portrait of the same black-and-white cat. Preserve the white nose stripe and green eyes. Seated pose against a muted terracotta background.

Another approach

Reimagine my dog photo as a softly lit studio portrait. Keep the brown patch over the left eye, folded ears, and long muzzle. Neutral gray background, eye-level camera, natural expression.

Finishing the result

Review likeness before ordering a print or gift. Generated details can drift, especially around fur markings and paws; the result needs your approval.
