THE PHOTO PROMPT
A Sheru Bhai prompt that keeps you in the picture.
One person and one lion in the same portrait. This is the prompt used for the photo examples on this site.
Start with two references
- A clear photo of one person, with the face fully visible.
- Our original white lion reference, wearing a white suit and gold chain. Download the lion reference
Keep this order: image 1 is the person and image 2 is the lion. Our generator adds the lion reference for you.
Create a photorealistic vertical 9:16 buddy photograph with exactly TWO subjects: the adult human from Image 1, and the fictional anthropomorphic white lion from Image 2. IDENTITY LOCK: Image 1 is the sole identity and clothing reference for the human. Preserve that same recognizable face and facial proportions, skin tone, age, eyes, nose, mouth, jawline, hairstyle, facial hair, eyeglasses if present, and the exact visible shirt/top. Do not replace, beautify, slim, masculinize or feminize the person. Do not add or remove glasses. The human remains fully human, never a lion. CHARACTER LOCK: Image 2 is the sole character reference for Sheru Bhai. Keep his white lion face, ivory-white mane, ears, amber eyes, dark nose, tailored white suit, open white shirt, gold chain and gold wristwatch. Preserve his realistic lion appearance and upright humanlike body proportions. No sunglasses. COMPOSITION: The human stands on the left, Sheru on the right, about one head taller. Both face the camera, close together with relaxed friendly expressions. Sheru's nearer arm rests gently across the human's far shoulder like a friendly photo; keep the visible furry hand plausible, small enough to rest naturally on the shoulder, and away from both faces. The other arms rest naturally at their sides. Mid-thigh-up framing, both complete heads and the entire mane visible, sharp recognizable faces, balanced margins. SCENE: In front of a tasteful modern villa with softly blurred stone facade and greenery. Natural soft daylight, matched light and perspective on both characters, realistic skin and fur, ordinary high-quality camera photograph rather than a cartoon or advertisement. Keep anatomy coherent and clothing natural. No additional characters, duplicate face, extra limbs, text, logo or watermark.
The tested prompt stays in English so its instructions remain unchanged.
What was actually tested?
We tested two image references with portrait 1K PNG output. Four fictional people were each tested twice: all eight images succeeded, and seven were suitable for our gallery. One had an awkward shoulder and paw pose.
Results may differ in another editor. Check that it accepts two reference images. We have not verified this prompt in every image tool.
Three details that make a difference
- Say “beside the person”: keep the human face and lion separate, rather than turning the person into a lion.
- Use the character reference. Text alone can change the mane, suit and jewelry.
- Check the hands and smile. Identity instructions help, but AI can still change faces or create awkward arms.
