Example input
Character: A weathered fantasy ranger in her 40s Action: crouched on one knee examining tracks in the mud Gear: longbow slung across her back, leather armor scuffed and patched with mismatched repairs Wear and age: a fresh scar through one eyebrow. Windswept dark hair pulled back in a loose braid, breath visible in the cold air Setting: Overcast forest setting, muted greens and greys, damp moss on nearby rocks, shallow fog drifting between the tree trunks behind her Palette: restrained desaturated palette with a single warm accent of rust-orange in her cloak lining

How to use this AI photo prompt
- Upload a clear reference photo of your face (well-lit, front-facing works best).
- Fill any placeholders on this page, then tap Copy Prompt.
- Paste into Stable Diffusion (also works with Flux) and generate.
- Keep your face locked - only wardrobe, pose, and scene should change.
Privacy: If you attach a face reference, do it in the AI tool. Codextroop Prompt Library never receives or stores your photos.
Works best with Stable Diffusion / Flux
Identity-preserving image-to-image prompts need a strong face reference. Avoid heavy beauty filters on the upload and use the negative prompt when your tool supports it.
Tips for better character design results
- Match the example aspect ratio when your tool allows it (often 4:5 for portraits).
- If the face drifts, re-upload a sharper photo and keep the same prompt text.
- Copy related character design prompts below to try alternate looks with the same identity lock.
When to use this prompt
Use it when
