π‘ The 15 Experimental Prompts: Collectible Style Bank
Use these prompts by inserting your subject (e.g., "Transform this image into...") at the start. Experiment with swapping keywords (e.g., changing 'brass' to 'silver').
Core & Artistic Styles (Prompts 1-5)
Create a 1/8 scale unpainted resin kit collectible figurine of the subject. The style should be hyper-realistic with sharp edges and intricate detail, like a garage kit model. Place the parts neatly laid out on a blueprint drawing on a workbench. Use studio lighting.
Turn the subject into a chunky, limited-edition vinyl toy figurine. Give it smooth, rounded edges and a highly stylized, matte finish. Use a two-tone pop art color scheme. The figurine is sealed in its original, vibrant blister packaging with bold Japanese text.
Create a tiny 45mm (gacha size) collectible figure of the subject, molded from cheap, brightly colored plastic. The figurine is partially visible inside a clear plastic sphere (gacha capsule), sitting on a colorful display shelf. Apply a direct flash lighting style.
Transform the image into a hand-carved wooden figurine. The texture should show visible chisel marks and a natural, unfinished wood grain. The figurine is displayed on a minimalist black pedestal under a single, warm spotlight in an art gallery setting.
Convert the subject into a 1/35 scale diorama figure placed in an abandoned, rain-slicked Tokyo street alley. The scene should include miniature water puddles, tiny graffiti, and mist. Use deep atmospheric lightingβneon signs reflecting off the wet pavement.
Advanced & Material Focus Styles (Prompts 6-15)
Transform the subject into a chibi-style claymation figurine. The surface should have a slightly textured, matte finish with visible 'fingerprint' imperfections. Place it in a stop-motion-inspired miniature garden diorama. Use soft, diffused lighting.
Convert the image into a 1/10 scale collectible figurine carved from a single piece of translucent amethyst. The figurine should have sharp facets and internal light refractions. It's displayed on a minimalist, illuminated black light box, making the gem glow.
Turn the subject into an intricate 1/7 scale steampunk automaton figurine, constructed from polished brass and aged copper, with visible gears. It stands on a heavy, riveted iron base. Illuminated by the warm, flickering glow of a gas lamp.
Create a low-poly, pixel art style 3D printed figurine of the subject, with clearly defined flat surfaces and sharp angles. The material is a vibrant, matte blue plastic. It is shown fresh off a 3D printer bed, surrounded by residual support structures.
Imagine the subject as a massive, helium-filled parade balloon figurine, captured mid-float above a bustling city street. The material is shiny, brightly colored PVC, with visible seams. Use bright, natural daylight with clear blue skies.
Transform the subject into a heavily articulated 1/12 scale die-cast metal action figure, with visible joints and a battle-worn, scratched metallic paint finish. Posed dynamically within a futuristic industrial hangar. Use dramatic, high-contrast lighting.
Create a delicate frosted glass sculpture of the subject, with elegant, flowing lines and a subtle, translucent quality. It sits on a smooth, grey concrete plinth. Soft, ambient light filters through a large window, creating subtle highlights.
Convert the subject into a simplified, traditional Japanese Kokeshi doll-style figurine. It should be turned wood, with minimal painted details. Display it on a tatami mat next to a delicate bonsai tree, lit by the gentle glow of a Shoji screen.
Transform the subject into a fearsome Gothic gargoyle statue, carved from weathered grey stone, with moss and cracks. It's perched on a cathedral rooftop, overlooking a stormy, moonlit city. Dramatic, low-key lighting emphasizes its silhouette.
Create a pop-up book diorama where the subject is the central figure. The entire scene should appear as if constructed from intricately folded and cut paper, with visible creases. The 'book' is open on a wooden table, lit by a warm desk lamp.
