Generation prompt
This output must be a photograph of THREE NON-LIVING HAND-SCULPTED CLAY CAT MINIATURES, each about 10 centimeters tall, sitting on a visibly grainy wooden shelf indoors. The three are collectibles based on the reference photo, not living cats. Make the stylization unmistakable: painted clay surface with tiny brush marks, rounded simplified ears and paws, small grey stone bases, no fur texture, no whiskers, no photoreal cat bodies. Preserve the reference cat's green eyes, white chest bib, white front paws and grey stripes as painted markings on each miniature. Show three different poses in one wide horizontal product photo: sitting, lying down, stretching. Warm wall behind, window light from left, shallow depth of field. No real animal, no empty white studio background, no letters, no logo, no watermark.

What it is used for

  • A gift for a pet owner, for a birthday, an anniversary or a memorial.
  • Content material for designer-toy and handmade-craft accounts.
  • Concept art for merchandise from a pet-supply business.
  • Turning a photo of a pet that has passed away into a figurine, which is the most emotionally powerful use.

Clay Pet Figurine

The standard approach: a hand-sculpted clay texture on a wooden base.

5 credits

Nano Banana 2image → image1:1 · 2K

Reference photos: One front-facing photo of the pet. The point of this entry is how well the markings and the face match, so do not use a blurry or profile photo.

Turn the pet in the reference image into a hand-sculpted clay figurine on a small stone base, photographed as a collectible product shot. Identity comes first: reproduce the animal's markings exactly as in the reference, including the shape and position of the stripes or patches on the head, the colour and extent of the chest and paw markings, and the pattern on the tail; keep the eye colour, eye shape, ear shape and muzzle proportions of the reference. The figurine is a sculpted object, not a living animal: a smoothed matte clay surface with faint tool marks and one fingerprint-like dent, fur suggested as five or six solid sculpted masses with three groove lines rather than individual hairs, a thin support rod visible under the belly where needed, the head slightly oversized in the collectible style. Eyes painted on with a dark iris ring, a glass-bead highlight and a thin gloss coat over the eye only. Pose: sitting upright with the tail curled around the right haunch, one ear angled back a few degrees. Base: a matte grey stone base no wider than one and a half times the figurine's footprint, with a faint chamfered edge. Scene: a light grey seamless studio sweep, one small wooden block out of focus behind, soft contact shadow under the base. Light: two soft boxes with a gentle top key, even exposure, one smooth reflection on the glossed eyes. Square framing, product photography, no text, no logos, no watermark.
Negative prompt
realistic fur rendering, living animal, plastic shiny surface, wrong markings, missing patches, oversized base, cluttered background, watermark

Reference only — the image models available here do not take a separate negative prompt, so this list is guidance for editing the prompt above.

Why this works: The standard entry. If the markings do not match, turn the markings sentence into an item-by-item list and move it to the front, and push every style word to the end.

Resin Gloss Collectible

You want the more collectible look of a polished resin finish.

7 credits

Nano Banana Proimage → image4:5 · 2K

Reference photos: One photo of the pet. The gloss resin entry strengthens highlights, so it suits a finished shot for a display shelf.

Create a polished resin collectible of the pet in the reference image, photographed like a high-end statue. Keep the markings faithful: the position and shape of every patch and stripe on the head, chest, paws and tail, the eye colour and eye shape, the ear shape and muzzle length. Material: poured resin with a high gloss finish, a subtle depth in the translucent layers, one long smooth specular sweep running along the shoulder and back, small bubbles visible near the base edge, a faint mould line. Sculpt: clean rounded volumes with soft transitions, fur suggested as broad planes with two or three carved grooves, whiskers as two thin rigid rods, eyes as polished dark cabochons with a sharp highlight, nose and paw pads in a slightly softer matte finish. Pose: standing with the head turned about thirty degrees toward the camera and the tail raised. Base: a dark acrylic plinth with a bevel, no wider than one and a half times the figurine's footprint, its top surface reflecting the paws. Scene: a black velvet surface, a soft gradient background from charcoal to deep grey, one rim light along the resin edge. Light: a large soft box from the upper left plus one narrow strip light from the rear right to carve the silhouette, controlled reflections, no blown highlights. Vertical 4:5 framing, product photography, no text, no logos, no watermark.
Negative prompt
matte clay look, wrong markings, flat lighting, blown highlights, real animal, clutter, watermark

Reference only — the image models available here do not take a separate negative prompt, so this list is guidance for editing the prompt above.

Why this works: The resin entry. The shape of the highlight decides whether it reads as resin or as plastic: one long soft highlight band is far more convincing than a cluster of small bright spots.

Shelf Collection Row

The same pet in several poses, arranged like a collection shelf.

10 credits

GPT Image 2.5 Flareimage → image3:2 · 2K

Reference photos: One photo of the pet. This entry produces three poses of the same pet for the collection-shelf effect.

Photograph a small collection of three figurines of the same pet from the reference image, arranged in a row on a wooden shelf. All three share exactly the same material, scale, base and markings, which is what makes them a set: matte hand-sculpted clay with faint tool marks, a matte grey stone base no wider than one and a half times each figurine's footprint, and identical markings — same patch on the chest, same striped pattern and tail rings, same white paws, same eye colour. Only the pose changes, left to right: sitting upright with the tail curled, lying down with the head resting on the front paws, and stretching forward with the tail up. Keep the muzzle proportions, ear shape and head size of the reference consistent across all three. Scene: a light wooden shelf with visible grain, a plain warm wall behind, one small ceramic dish out of focus at the right end of the shelf. Light: soft window light from the left with a gentle fill, even exposure across all three figures, one soft shadow falling to the right, no colour cast. Camera: 50mm at shelf height, wide 3:2 framing with the three figures evenly spaced and equal in the frame, shallow depth of field. Product photography, no text, no logos, no watermark.
Negative prompt
different markings between figures, mismatched scale, different material, clustered layout, clutter on the shelf, watermark

Reference only — the image models available here do not take a separate negative prompt, so this list is guidance for editing the prompt above.

Why this works: The collection-shelf entry. The material, the base and the markings must be word-for-word identical across all three and only the pose changes; once the material description is altered, they stop reading as a set.

Text-Only Pet Figurine Sample

3 credits

Nano Banana 2 Litetext → image1:1 · 1K

A collectible hand-sculpted clay figurine of a generic ginger tabby cat sitting upright on a small matte grey stone base, photographed as a product shot on a light grey seamless sweep. Sculpt: smoothed matte clay with faint tool marks, fur as five or six solid masses with three groove lines, a head slightly oversized in the collectible style, whiskers as two thin rigid rods, ears with a lighter inner surface, tail curled around the right haunch. Markings: an M-shaped tabby pattern on the forehead, three darker rings on the tail, white paws, a white chin patch, amber eyes painted with a dark iris ring, a glass-bead highlight and a thin gloss coat over the eyes only. Base: chamfered stone base no wider than one and a half times the figurine's footprint with a soft contact shadow beneath. Light: two soft boxes with a gentle top key, even exposure, one small reflection on the glossed eyes, no hard highlights. Square framing, shallow depth of field, product photography, no text, no logos, no watermark.

Why this works: The text-only sample entry, the cheapest one. It covers pages that do not have pet material yet.

Use this prompt

If the result is wrong, change this first

The markings are wrong and the owner does not recognise the pet

List the markings one by one: 'the tabby stripes on the forehead form the same M shape, the white chest patch reaches the chin, the paws are white to mid leg, the tail has three dark rings'.

It becomes a real cat instead of a figurine

Describe the sculpture itself: 'a sculpted figure with a visible support rod under the belly, a smoothed clay surface with faint tool marks, a matte finish and a stone base'.

The fur is painted as one solid clump

Write the fur as masses: 'fur suggested as five or six solid sculpted masses with three groove lines, no individual hair strands'.

The eyes look like plastic buttons

Describe how the eyes are made: 'eyes painted on with a dark iris ring, a glass-bead highlight and a thin gloss coat over the eye only'.

The base is out of proportion and dominates the image

Give the base a size: 'a base no wider than one and a half times the figurine's footprint'.

Notes

  • The only acceptance test for a pet figurine is that the owner recognises it. That is why the markings have to be listed item by item, covering the forehead stripes, the white chest patch, the white socks and the tail rings, which matters far more than any style word.
  • For the collection shelf, the description of the base and the material has to be identical and only the pose and the accessories change, otherwise the three figures do not read as one set.
