How to Create Magical Fantasy Portraits in Gemini?
Choose a Clear Base Portrait
-
Pick a well-lit selfie or portrait where the full face is visible, with soft daylight or indoor lighting and a clean background.
-
Avoid strong shadows, heavy beauty filters, or blurry images, as Gemini will carry these flaws into the fantasy version.
Open Gemini Image Editor or Nano Banana
-
Go to Google Gemini (either the app or web version) and open the image generation or photo editing mode that allows uploading reference images.
-
If available, select the Nano Banana / Pro-level model for better realism and finer details.
Upload Your Photo and Lock Your Identity
-
Upload the portrait and specify in the prompt: "Use the same face from the uploaded photo, do not change facial structure or skin tone."
-
This ensures that Gemini builds the fantasy world around you rather than replacing you with a new AI character.
Paste One of Your 14 Fantasy Prompts
-
Choose a prompt that defines the character type (elf, mage, knight, fairy), setting (enchanted forest, floating castle, cosmic sky), and magic elements (glowing runes, spirit lights, wings, dragons).
-
Add technical instructions like “hyper-realistic, 4K or 8K, cinematic lighting, detailed skin texture, volumetric light, soft depth of field” for a polished, realistic effect.
Add Negative Prompts for Clean Results
-
Include instructions like "no cartoon style, no plastic skin, no distorted hands or face, no text on image, no watermark" to reduce common AI artifacts and ensure the portrait stays closer to a real photo.
Generate, Review, and Refine
-
Generate the image and review the accuracy of the face, pose, and magical elements.
-
If something feels off, adjust one element at a time—lighting, magic intensity, or background complexity—and regenerate until the fantasy portrait looks balanced and believable.
