How to use
The realistic ice sculpture prompt turns your portrait into a being entirely made of translucent crystalline ice, with air bubbles, fine fractures and frost — and your face still perfectly recognisable. It works in NanoBanana, in Gemini and in ChatGPT.
1. Send a sharp portrait with the whole face visible, together with the JSON prompt in the same message.
2. Keep the identity block untouched: it is what stops the AI from sculpting a stranger.
3. Adjust the shade of blue in the palette if you want warmer or colder ice.
4. Set how much mist and how many ice particles you want in the background.
5. Generate variations and compare how the light passes through the ice on the face.
6. Save the version where the eyes stay sharpest.
Tip: front or three-quarter photos work best, because the ice needs clear planes on the face to refract the light.
