These October 13 tests used the same input, user request, Single image operation and Half body framing. The style instruction differs. Each style has one historical provider result; repeated trials and a likeness ranking are unavailable. Face details enlarges the existing output. The separate Chibi test used a different request.
Want different proportions?
Chibi uses an oversized head and compact body. Compare its separate recorded example if those proportions suit your character.

Chibi deliberately changes proportions, so it can preserve fewer realistic facial details. For a photo-based starting point, read the photo-to-chibi guide.

Portrait or fantasy character?
For facial detail and natural light, start with an AI portrait from a photo. The fantasy character guide offers a starting point for a traveler, mage or warrior. For a warrior, describe armor and setting as details to try, then check the result against your reference. We have not recorded a warrior-specific test.
