The idea
This trend is one of the latest popular trends in the world of digital art and artificial intelligence, allowing users to transform their personal photos into anime versions of mythical creatures. This trend combines the aesthetics of anime, rich in detail and color, with the depth of global mythology, resulting in unique and innovative images. Its popularity stems from its ability to add a magical and imaginative touch to ordinary photos, as well as the easy accessibility of AI tools that make this transformation possible without the need for advanced artistic skills.
How to apply it
- Choose your photo: Start by selecting a clear, high-quality personal photo. It is preferable that the photo has good lighting and clearly shows facial features.
- Use an AI tool: Many tools can help you with this. Among the most popular are Midjourney (via Discord) or Stable Diffusion (via web tools like Clipdrop). You can also use tools like DALL-E 3 or even AI features in modern photo editing applications.
- Craft the prompt: This is the most important part. You will need to craft a prompt that describes your photo and the anime look you desire, specifying the type of mythical creature. Start by describing your character, then add the anime and mythical details.
- Refine the prompt (if necessary): After the first attempt, you may need to adjust the prompt. Try adding keywords to describe the anime style (e.g., 'Studio Ghibli style', 'shōnen anime'), mythical creature details (e.g., 'dragon horns', 'mermaid tail'), or even mood and color.
- Experiment and share: Feel free to try different prompts and different types of creatures. Once you achieve the desired result, share your creation with friends and on social media.
