Character Design — Side-by-Side Results
Prompt
"A candid phone-camera selfie of an original influencer character (mid‑20s, warm brown skin, short curly bob with a shaved side and a teal streak, faint freckles, distinctive chunky round glasses) in an oversized oatmeal hoodie, biker shorts, and mismatched high-top sneakers, looking slightly off to the lens mid-sentence like a TikTok vlog. She’s standing in a cozy neighborhood café by the window holding an iced latte and a pastry bag, natural morning light spilling across her face; include clear character-design details like a bold lightning-bolt eyebrow slit, stacked enamel pins on the hoodie pocket, and a small crescent-moon tattoo on her wrist for a turnaround-ready silhouette. Casual UGC vibe with subtle motion blur from the handheld phone, realistic skin texture, and everyday background clutter (menu board, plants, other patrons softly out of focus)."
