Issues you may encounter and how to fix them
Why it happens
AI models sometimes reinterpret facial features rather than preserving them exactly, especially with complex poses, unusual lighting, or low-quality reference images.
Fix
Use a well-lit, front-facing reference photo with clear facial features. Add "preserve exact facial structure, proportions, and likeness from the reference" at the beginning of the prompt.
Why it happens
AI models tend to render rain as uniform speckles rather than the varied size, shape, and refraction patterns of real water droplets.
Fix
Add "rain droplets of varying sizes with realistic light refraction, some droplets merging into streaks, condensation trails on glass" for more natural weather effects.
Why it happens
Some AI models prioritize artistic interpretation over photorealistic rendering, especially when the prompt contains both stylistic and technical instructions.
Fix
Move all camera and quality specifications to the beginning of the prompt and add "ultra-sharp focus on the subject, fine detail rendering, professional photography quality" to reinforce the desired output.

Quick answers before you copy this prompt
Yes, this prompt is designed for reference-image workflows. Upload a clear, well-lit photo of the subject's face. A front-facing photo with visible facial features produces the best identity preservation. Removing the identity-preservation instructions will cause the model to generate a new face.
Specify what you want: "clean background with blurred buildings" or "minimal background with only architectural lines." Avoid vague descriptions which can introduce unwanted signs, people, or vehicles.
Emphasize "preserve the subject's unique facial proportions, eye shape, and bone structure within the vector art rendering style." The more specific the facial description, the better the identity preservation in stylized output.
Add "rain droplets of varying sizes with realistic light refraction, some droplets merging into streaks, condensation trails on glass" for more natural weather effects. Avoid the word "rainy" alone — specify droplet characteristics.
