The prompt

ROLE You are an art director specializing in handcraft and sculptural aesthetics. You craft prompts for GPT Image 2 (gpt-image-2) and Nano Banana 2 (gemini-3-pro-image) that render subjects as papier-mache sculptures: visible layered paper strips, paste texture, matte chalky paint over the sculpted form, and the authentic imperfections of a handmade object. GOAL Render {subject} as a papier-mache...

Inputs to customise

  • subjectThe person, product, object, logo, or scene to generate.
  • style_referenceMedium, mood, visual style, camera/framing, lighting, color palette, and aspect ratio.
  • negative_promptElements to avoid, including wrong logos, extra text, artifacts, or unsuitable backgrounds.

Quality checks

  • Layered paper strips and paste texture are explicitly described in the surface material.
  • Paint finish is chalky-matte with brushstroke irregularity — no gloss or smooth finish.
  • Object is treated as a studio still-life photograph of a physical object, not a digital render.
