Use the prompt:
Generate a portrait image of a detailed, all-glass gashapon capsule held between two fingers. Inside the capsule is a miniature version of myself, chibi-style and life-size, with the same face as the person in the photo. The chibi character is wearing: [describe clothes and accessories], or simply say āthe same outfit as seen in the uploaded photo.ā
Make sure the design emphasizes the realism of the capsule and the collectible charm of the chibi figure inside.
Feel free to tweak the promptāchange the pose, add a background, or customize it however you like.
