Inflatable Toy Emoji

The shape should appear soft, rounded, and air-filled --- like a plush balloon or blow-up toy. Use a smooth, matte texture with subtle fabric creases and stitching to emphasize the inflatable look. The form should be slightly irregular and squishy, with gentle shadows and soft lighting that highlight volume and realism. Place it on a clean, minimal background (light gray).

Casual iPhone Selfie

Author: @jiamimaodashu

Prompt: Draw an extremely ordinary iPhone selfie with no clear subject or compositional intent, like a casually taken snapshot. The photo has slight motion blur and uneven exposure due to sunlight or store lighting. The angle is awkward, the composition chaotic, creating a deliberately mediocre feel—like an accidental selfie taken while pulling the phone from a pocket. The main subject is "[person]", at night, next to "[place]".

Character Portal Scene

Author: @dotey

1️⃣ Upload reference image

2️⃣ Prompt: The 3D chibi version of the character in the photo walks through a portal, holding the viewer's hand, dynamically looking back while pulling the viewer forward. The background outside the portal is the viewer's real world—a typical programmer's study with a desk, monitor, and laptop. Inside the portal is the character's 3D chibi world, with details referencing the photo, in a blue tone contrasting sharply with the real world. The portal emits mysterious blue and purple hues, forming a perfect oval frame between the two worlds at the center of the image. The camera angle shows the viewer's hand being pulled into the character's world from a third-person perspective. 3:2 aspect ratio.

Author: @balconychy

2️⃣ Prompt: Transform the characters in the image into cute 3D chibi versions in a scene: at the very front of a luxury cruise ship's pointed bow. A man holds a woman's waist as she stretches her arms in a dress, facing the wind with an expression of freedom and joy. The sky shows warm sunset tones, with the sea stretching below. Except for the characters in 3D chibi style, the rest of the environment is realistic.

Chinese-Style Wall Art

Author: @91380936539

Prompt: A tall traditional Chinese city wall mural depicts a beautiful woman in a blue hanfu with earrings, long hair, and hairpins. One hand reaches out to catch falling petals. Outside the wall grows a tall, lush tree covered in blue flowers, its canopy hanging over the wall and downward, with flowers covering part of the woman's hair. Her hair is partially composed of dense, layered flowers that extend outward, wrapping around her head like a dazzling floral crown. Flowers cascade from the top of the wall, creating a stunning visual. The background features blue skies and white clouds, with an asphalt road below covered in blue petals and pedestrians walking by. Ultra-high-definition quality, realistic details, high-definition photography, true-to-life 3D style.

Game Character in Realistic Scene

Author: @ZHO_ZHO_ZHO

Prompt: A hyper-realistic 3D render recreating Natasha's character design from the 2008 game "Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3," faithfully following the original model. The scene is set in a dim, cluttered 2008-era bedroom, with the character sitting on a carpet facing an old TV playing "Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3" and a game controller. The room is filled with nostalgic 2008 vibes: snack wrappers, soda cans, posters, and tangled wires. Natasha Volkova is captured turning her head to look at the camera, her iconic ethereal beauty showing a hint of innocent smile. Her upper body twists slightly, naturally dynamic, as if reacting to a sudden flash. The flash slightly overexposes her face and clothes, making her stand out in the dim room. The photo appears raw and natural, with strong contrasts casting deep shadows behind her, creating a tactile feel reminiscent of authentic 2008 film snapshots.
