On June 19, Al-Shamus (@im_shahid7) shared on X a prompt for GPT Image in ChatGPT aimed at hero illustrations of digital products. The recipe defines an exaggerated editorial 3D character—tiny head, round body, elongated limbs—with matte materials (soft rubber, fuzzy fabric, knitted texture), high-contrast dopamine palette, and clean white background with oval shadow.

AI Prompt · How to do it

Second example of the thread: another editorial 3D illustration with exaggerated character and floating props

Second variant of the thread with a different visual theme. @im_shahid7

Steps

  1. Open chatgpt.com with GPT Image.
  2. Paste the base prompt below (style and materials).
  3. Customize the Theme block at the end (SaaS, fintech, e-commerce...).
  4. The thread includes two examples with different topics.

Prompt to copy

A complete single 3D illustration, exaggerated artistic editorial illustration style, not storyboard, not a collage layout. The subject is an exaggerated cartoon character with a tiny head, round chubby body, extremely elongated limbs, oversized hands and oversized shoes, off-balance center of gravity, frozen mid-air in a dramatic jumping pose, with strong tension and comedic energy. Overall form looks like a soft sculpture toy — round, chunky, bouncy, exaggerated — not anatomically correct. Materials are matte soft rubber, fuzzy fabric, knitted texture, plasticine feel, with fine fiber details, slight grain, hand-sculpted touch — avoid glossy plastic toy look, avoid translucent glass look, avoid high reflections. High-saturation dopamine color palette, bold color clashes, large flat color blocks, bright but not over-glowing. Clean white background, minimal space, only a soft oval shadow on the ground, no complex scene. Floating abstract graphic elements around the character: stars, squiggle lines, balls, cubes, icons, symbols — all rendered as soft rubber or paper props to enhance motion and design feel. Soft studio lighting, global illumination, soft shadows, low contrast, clean commercial render. C4D / Blender 3D illustration, stylized soft sculpture, matte clay material, fuzzy fabric texture, knitted surface detail, playful editorial 3D illustration, high quality. — Theme: a SaaS-hoodie product designer floating with a laptop, surrounded by dashboard UI cards, charts and task widgets, hero illustration for a SaaS

Text in English according to the original publication. Change only the "Theme" line for another sector without touching the materials and composition block.

What makes this prompt special

Clearly separate style (3D soft sculpture, not storyboard or collage) from theme (SaaS designer). The “avoid” blocks—no shiny plastic, no translucent glass—avoid the cheap toy look that GPT Image usually generates in cartoon characters. The “dopamine” palette with clashes of flat color fits with startup landing pages.

The post accumulated 25 likes and 12 saves in just a few hours. It is a very reusable prompt for hero sections, product newsletters and pitch decks that need custom illustration without hiring a 3D artist.

Theme variants

Replace the Theme line with: "a fintech analyst surrounded by coin icons and growth charts", "a mobile app developer with floating phone mockups", or "a fitness coach with dumbbells and progress rings". Keep the rest of the prompt intact to preserve the soft sculpture aesthetic.
