Hi,
I’ve been using ChatGPT Image 2.0 and built a general-purpose prompt template for generating stable single-character anime illustrations.
This template helps avoid common issues like:
-
unintended character sheets or multi-panel layouts
-
inconsistent proportions or anatomy
-
loss of personality in expressions and posing
It works as a simple core structure, and you can add extra elements (like animal ears, fantasy traits, etc.) without breaking stability.
Template
An anime-style illustration of [character type].
The character has [hair description], styled in [hairstyle].
The hair is natural with moderate volume, softly framing the face.
They have [eye description].
Their personality is [traits], expressed through [facial expressions and body language].
Body type: [body description].
They are wearing [outfit].
The pose is natural and expressive, reflecting their personality.
Composition: single character, no reference sheet, no multiple panels.
Use [lighting], [color palette], and a [overall atmosphere].
Focus on clean composition, strong silhouette, and natural visual flow.
Notes
-
This template is designed for single-character illustrations.
-
You can add features like ears, wings, or accessories depending on the character.
-
Avoid adding “reference sheet” or “multiple views” unless you specifically want a model sheet.
I found this structure much more stable compared to ad-hoc prompts.
Hope it helps others
