Customize in the image builder →Ready-to-use prompt
Digital illustration, digitally painted artwork: a tight close-up of a [character or person], stylized profile avatar, the subject filling the frame, soft even light, friendly and distinctive. Bold clean shapes, vibrant colors, centered composition, simple solid background. Keep the framing a tight close-up. Framed in a 1:1 aspect ratio. Do not include: busy background, text, tiny details, clutter.
Replace any [bracketed] text with your own details.
Why this prompt works
Avatars are viewed tiny, so the prompt asks for one bold subject and strong shapes over fine detail.
A named illustration style keeps the result cohesive instead of a muddy mix.
Busy backgrounds and text are excluded because they turn to mush at avatar size.
