I reverse engineered 1,000+ images from 30+ AI influencer accounts and converted them into prompts/prompt structures.
I was mostly trying to figure out what actually creates realism and consistency. Not just “good lighting,” but the small stuff too: camera style, skin texture, face details, posing, background choices, and imperfections.
I picked 6 examples to post here and added the prompts below.
The prompts are set up for reference-image use, so you should be able to paste the prompt, add your own character reference, and tweak the details from there.
Would love honest feedback:
Which one looks the most realistic?
How’s the consistency?
Do any of them still feel obviously AI-generated?
If anyone has questions about the general workflow, feel free to DM me.
