I Keep Thinking of Lemon
GPT Image 2· Image
Images 1 and 2 are identity references — use them to define the facial features (eye shape, nose, lips, skin tone, face structure) and the hair style (texture, curl, wave, and volume). Image 3 (https://assets.carat-api.im/upload_from_app/3052856/20260622/187c03e4-ea29-4e40-b15b-21c555b33c1a.png) is the target.
Replace the face and hair of the person in Image 3 with the identity from Images 1 and 2. The hair must match the style from the references, including any curl or wave texture.
STRICTLY PRESERVE: the closed eyes, the satisfied humming expression (mouth gently closed with a pleased slight smile, like saying "mmm~"), the head angle, the pose, the clothing, the background, and the lighting. Eyes must remain closed.

K-pop Idol Fancam Thumbnail
GPT Image 2· Image
[GROUP_NAME: AUTO] [MEMBER_NAME: AUTO] [TOP_RIGHT_BADGE_TEXT: M2] Use the uploaded portrait as a reference for the subject’s overall vibe and impression. Create a high-quality K-pop music show fancam thumbnail in a horizontal 16:9 format. The person should appear as the clear main subject in a large close-up composition. The final image should feel like a bright, polished, highly clickable YouTube music show thumbnail. The bottom-left label text must always be “입덕직캠”. The video duration in the bottom-right corner should be automatically generated as a natural random time between 3:00 and 5:00. The stage concept, lighting, and facial expression should be automatically chosen based on the subject’s vibe.
University Festival Jumbotron Fancam Shot
GPT Image 2· Image
Use the uploaded reference image as the strongest facial identity anchor. The person must look like the exact same person from the reference image. Preserve their facial identity with very high priority: same face shape, same eyes, same nose, same lips, same skin tone, same expression style, and same overall hair impression.
Create an ultra-realistic smartphone photo taken by an audience member at a Korean university festival. The photo is not a direct stage portrait. It shows a huge outdoor LED jumbotron screen, and on that screen the person is captured performing on stage during a live song. The final image must clearly feel like someone in the crowd photographed the giant screen from a distance.
On the LED screen, the person appears as a singer mid-performance, holding a microphone, not posing for the camera, not looking directly into the lens. Their gaze is toward the audience or slightly off to the side, with a natural unplanned singing expression. The moment should feel accidentally caught during a live performance.
Do not assign a specific outfit color or fixed clothing style. Let wardrobe, colors, accessories, and styling vary naturally as contemporary Korean campus festival performer fashion.
The giant LED screen should dominate most of the frame, with visible LED pixel texture, slight moire, screen glare, blown-out highlights, and mild color banding. Include subtle real-world smartphone capture imperfections: handheld framing, slight tilt, minor motion blur, digital zoom softness, night festival lighting, lens flare, and imperfect exposure. Around the edges, show hints of the real concert environment: dark sky, stage truss, colorful lights, silhouettes of audience heads or raised phones at the bottom.
Composition: 16:9 horizontal smartphone photo of a large festival jumbotron, audience POV, screen-within-screen feeling. The performer's face should be visible on the LED screen, but the image should not look like a clean studio portrait or direct AI render. It should feel like a viral fan-taken concert screenshot photo.
Photorealistic, authentic Korean university festival atmosphere, candid live-event documentation, natural skin texture as displayed on an LED screen. No captions, no overlay text, no readable university names, no brand logos, no watermark, no extra duplicated face, no celebrity resemblance, no direct eye contact, no staged idol beauty-shot posing.
Rose Streetwear Portrait
Nano Banana Pro· Image
Generate a highly detailed, photorealistic 8K streetwear fashion portrait of Rosé of Blackpink, who is dominating about 90% of the frame. The shot is taken from a low angle with a close-up perspective, using a wide-angle lens with heavy fisheye distortion to simulate a photo taken on a modern smartphone. She has her signature bleached blonde hair in thick pigtail braids, pale porcelain skin, and a confident expression. She is in a low, crouched squat position on the floor, balancing on the spiked high heels and both hands are placed flat on her thighs, leaning slightly forward, and looking directly at the camera. Cobalt-framed rectangular retro sunglasses slightly away from her eyes with both hands. She is wearing a cobalt blue cotton halter crop top, tight cobalt blue latex leggings, and cobalt blue high heels. Her accessories include a ruby bead necklace with a gold star pendant, silver hoop earrings, gold rings, and a cobalt blue bracelet with a raised texture. The outdoor setting features a vibrant, textured teal wall behind her with a graffiti written 'Alice' and a red metal grate above. The scene is lit by intense, direct daytime sunlight, creating hard shadows and high contrast. A small "yapper" watermark is in the bottom right corner. Aspect ratio 9:16.1
Concert Lightstick & Keyring Fan Goods
GPT Image 2· Image
Use the uploaded portrait as the identity reference for printed packaging only. Create a realistic K-pop fan goods package mockup featuring a custom lightstick and acrylic keyring set. The person's portrait appears as a printed design on the keyring and packaging box. Scene: clean product flatlay on pastel background, both items arranged neatly, small fandom name engraving detail on lightstick, ribbon bow, tissue paper wrapping. Shallow depth of field, Pinterest K-pop fan goods photography aesthetic. No real brand logos, no readable text.

Space Satellite Birthday Banner
GPT Image 2· Image
A photorealistic scene of a large communications satellite orbiting Earth in outer space. The satellite is a detailed, modern multi-instrument spacecraft with a hexagonal central bus, brushed metallic grey panels, gold-foil MLI insulation, and large rectangular solar arrays extending from both sides with blue-purple iridescent photovoltaic cells.
A large celebration banner is physically mounted on the satellite, suspended by four taut braided metallic tether lines attached to the satellite's main structural frame and solar panel arms. The banner is made of heavy-duty matte vinyl fabric, hanging with slight natural tension (no flapping — vacuum of space). The banner displays the EXACT content from the reference image — preserving all text, portraits, decorations, colors, and layout precisely as shown. The banner looks like a real Korean-style 현수막 (celebration banner) printed and hung in space.
COMPOSITION: The satellite is positioned in the upper-center of the frame. The banner hangs below it, creating an inverted triangle composition. Earth's curved horizon sweeps across the lower third of the frame, showing city lights on the night side and a bright cyan-white atmospheric limb glow.
LIGHTING: Strong key light from upper-left simulating direct sunlight. Intense rim lighting on the satellite's top edges and the banner's upper edge. Cool blue-white tones in space, warm tones preserved on the banner content. Deep, crisp black shadows on the satellite's dark side (no atmospheric diffusion). The banner is well-lit and fully legible.
BACKGROUND: Deep black space void with a subtle, realistic star field (not overdone). Earth in low-Earth orbit view with visible atmospheric glow (thin blue line along the limb). Slight depth-of-field blur on Earth to keep focus on the satellite and banner.
CAMERA: Low-angle perspective looking slightly upward at the satellite. Wide-angle lens feel (24-35mm equivalent) capturing both the satellite architecture and Earth's curvature. Cinematic, high-end advertisement quality. Photorealistic space photography style with the drama of an IMAX documentary frame.
Hot Air Balloon Birthday Banner
GPT Image 2· Image
A single classic teardrop-shaped hot air balloon floating in a bright blue sky, viewed from a slightly low eye-level perspective looking upward.
[HOT AIR BALLOON]
- Wide vertical panels in a vibrant gradient color palette: light periwinkle, soft blue, pale yellow, bright orange, pink, lavender, and soft violet.
- The bottom throat of the balloon has a small grid-like pattern with red, yellow, and blue squares.
- Below the balloon, a traditional light-brown woven wicker basket is suspended by slender vertical ropes.
[ADVERTISING BANNER]
- Hanging directly below the wicker basket, a large rectangular vertical banner is attached via four thin taut suspension lines connected to a thin dark horizontal rod at the top and bottom of the banner.
- The banner displays the provided source image EXACTLY as-is — preserve all text, typography, portrait photo, floral decorations, colors, and layout without any modification.
- The banner is significant in scale, roughly as tall as the balloon and basket combined.
[SKY & ATMOSPHERE]
- Crisp, bright, saturated cerulean blue sky.
- A few wispy white cumulus clouds scattered sparsely across the background, adding depth without obscuring the main subject.
- Soft, diffuse daylight lighting suggesting a sunny day.
[COMPOSITION & FRAMING]
- 9:16 vertical portrait format.
- The balloon is positioned in the upper third, the basket in the center, and the banner dominates the lower two-thirds.
- The ENTIRE assembly (balloon envelope + basket + full banner) must be fully visible within the frame with comfortable margins on all sides — nothing cropped or cut off.
- Ample negative space around the sides to keep the image feeling airy and spacious.
- Centered, balanced composition.
- Photorealistic style with clean, sharp details.

What Are Idol Illustration AI Prompts?
Idol Illustration AI prompts are focused prompt patterns for generating a specific scene, character mood, or stylistic direction with clearer intent than a broad generic tag. Instead of asking an AI model for a simple subject, this tag helps you define the role of the scene, the visual mood, the camera distance, the lighting, the material cues, and the final publishing context. It is especially useful when you need prompts for 아이돌 콘셉트 포스터, 앨범 자켓, 굿즈 일러스트, 팬아트 캐릭터, 무대 장면. A strong prompt in this category usually combines a clear subject with production details, such as background context, composition, atmosphere, color palette, lens behavior, and the format where the output will be used.
Best Use Cases
- Building visual concepts for brand campaigns, landing pages, social posts, or editorial layouts
- Creating prompt variations for thumbnails, carousel covers, posters, product pages, and short-form content
- Placing characters, products, or objects inside a scene that feels purposeful rather than random
- Testing multiple art directions by changing lighting, season, color palette, lens type, or material texture
- Turning a rough idea into a repeatable production prompt that can be reused across a campaign
Why This Tag Works
Idol Illustration works because it narrows the model's decision space. When a prompt only includes a broad subject, the model has to guess the setting, the framing, the style, and the emotional tone. This tag gives the prompt a more concrete search intent and a clearer production target. Details such as stage lighting, performance pose, group composition, outfit detail, sparkle effect, fan color help the model understand what should be visible on screen, what should be emphasized, and what should remain secondary. The result is usually more consistent, easier to compare, and more useful for real creative workflows. You can adapt the same prompt for realistic photography, illustration, cinematic video, anime-inspired visuals, packaging previews, or social-first design systems by changing the medium and camera instructions.

Prompt Building Tips
- Start with the subject and setting, then add the intended use case so the model understands the output goal.
- Specify camera distance, aspect ratio, lens style, lighting direction, and color palette to reduce random composition choices.
- Add material cues, environmental details, and secondary objects only when they support the main idea.
- Include a short negative instruction for unwanted artifacts, clutter, incorrect text, extra limbs, or mismatched branding.
Idol Illustration prompts perform best when the scene is specific enough to guide the model but still flexible enough to allow rich visual interpretation. Keep the core idea clear, then iterate through style, lighting, and composition variations until the output matches your publishing context.
