How do I make an AI portrait of myself?

Copy any prompt here into DreamBot's studio, switch to DreamBot mode and start it with "me as", like "me as a Viking chieftain at the prow of a longship". The nightly dreams cast you in scenes like these on their own, too.

What makes a fantasy portrait prompt work?

Give your hero a job and a place: a pirate captain at the ship's wheel beats "a pirate". Then name one art style, like an oil painting or a fantasy film still, and the time of day.

Can I turn my own photo into a royal or Renaissance portrait?

Yes. Use a prompt from this pack with "me" in DreamBot mode, or turn a photo you already have into an oil painting with Restyle (see photo to art).

AI Portrait Prompts: Fantasy, Royal and Epic

Each prompt is shown exactly as written, next to the picture it made. New here? The little tricks explain what makes them work.

A rider with a platinum pixie cut on a huge emerald dragon flying over snowy peaks at sunrise.

Dragon rider

Made with Grok Imagine

A dragon rider with a short platinum pixie cut sits astride a huge emerald dragon soaring above snowy mountain peaks, wearing a dark leather flight coat, fur-lined gloves and tall riding boots. Clouds, a distant stone fortress and a winding river valley spread far below. Epic fantasy film style, blazing sunrise behind them, wind tugging at her scarf.

Go big: the peaks and the tiny fortress far below make the ride feel huge. Start it with "me as a dragon rider" and the sky is yours.

A king with a silver beard and a queen with a dark bun in velvet robes and crowns, standing before twin thrones in a torchlit hall.

King and queen

Made with Flux 1.1 Pro Ultra

A king in his sixties with a full silver beard and a queen with a sleek dark bun stand side by side before twin thrones, in gold-embroidered velvet robes and jeweled crowns. A torchlit stone hall rises behind them with crimson banners and a stained-glass window. Cinematic fantasy film still, warm candlelight at dusk, a wolfhound asleep on the steps.

In DreamBot mode, write "me and [name] as a king and queen" and keep the rest: the banners and stained glass give the two of you a real hall to rule.

Pirate captain

Made with Grok Imagine

A pirate captain with long locs under a feathered tricorn hat grips the ship's wheel, wearing a burgundy frock coat with brass buttons, a white linen shirt and tall black boots. Tattered sails, coiled ropes and a brass lantern fill the deck behind her. Swashbuckling adventure film style, golden sunset over a choppy sea, a green parrot on the rail.

Naming the coat, the shirt and the boots keeps the whole captain in the picture. Drop the boots for a closer portrait.

Viking chieftain

Made with Flux 1.1 Pro Ultra

A broad-shouldered Viking chieftain with a shaved head and a long braided red beard stands at the prow of a longship, wrapped in a grey wolf-fur cloak over chain mail and leather boots. Fjord cliffs and a carved dragon figurehead loom around him. Cinematic photograph, stormy dusk light breaking through the clouds, sea spray in the air.

Start it with "me as a Viking chieftain" in DreamBot mode: the longship, the fur cloak and the storm do the rest.

A sorceress with a long white braid casting glowing violet runes in a tower library with floating books and a black cat.

Moonlit sorceress

Made with Nano Banana Pro

A sorceress in her sixties with a long white braid raises one hand as glowing violet runes spin above it, wearing a midnight-blue robe embroidered with silver stars. A tower library surrounds her with floating books, a crystal orb and a crescent-moon window. Dark fantasy painting, cool moonlight mixed with warm rune glow, a black cat watching from a shelf.

Cool moonlight against warm rune glow gives the scene its drama. Change the rune color to change the whole mood.

A knight with a copper braid in silver armor and a blue surcoat riding out of a castle gate at a misty sunrise.

Knight at dawn

Made with Flux 1.1 Pro

A knight with a copper braid over one shoulder rides out of a castle gate in battered silver plate armor and a blue surcoat stitched with a white stag. A lowered drawbridge, stone towers and a row of fluttering pennants rise behind her. Epic fantasy illustration, misty sunrise light, frost glinting on her horse's mane.

The white stag on the surcoat is the kind of small detail that makes a picture feel special. Swap it for a fox or a dragon to make it yours.

A princess with braids pinned in a crown descending a marble staircase in a sky-blue ball gown under crystal chandeliers.

Describe the gown all the way down to the shoes and you get the whole princess on the staircase.

Steampunk inventor

Made with Nano Banana

A young inventor with tight dark curls and round brass goggles pushed up on his forehead tinkers with a clockwork owl at a workbench crowded with gears, copper pipes and a glowing glass lamp. He wears a leather apron over a striped waistcoat with rolled sleeves. Steampunk illustration, warm amber workshop light, steam curling from a kettle.

Swap the clockwork owl for any invention you like: a brass dragonfly, a tiny airship, a music box.

An elf with long silver hair in a green hooded cloak walking a misty forest path past giant trees and glowing blue mushrooms.

Elven ranger

Made with Flux 2 Pro

An elven ranger with long silver hair and pointed ears walks a mossy forest path, a longbow slung across his back, in a dark green hooded cloak over leather armor and soft boots. Giant ancient trees, glowing blue mushrooms and a moss-covered stone archway surround him. High fantasy concept art, shafts of morning light through the mist.

The glowing mushrooms are the one magical touch, and a real-looking forest around them is what keeps it epic.

Starship captain

Made with Flux 2 Pro

A starship captain in his fifties with close-cropped grey hair and a neat beard stands at the wide bridge window in a fitted navy uniform with silver rank bars. Glowing console panels, a high-backed command chair and a huge ringed planet fill the view. Sleek sci-fi film still, cool blue console light, stars reflected in the glass.

Blue console light on the face and a planet outside the window sell the whole scene. Try "me as a starship captain" and take the chair.

A rancher in a wide-brimmed hat and a woman in a calico dress leaning on a ranch house porch with horses and red mesas behind them.

Frontier couple

Made with Seedream

A rancher with a sandy mustache and a woman with a long dark braid lean on the porch rail of a log ranch house, him in a wide-brimmed hat, leather vest and dusty boots, her in a calico dress and lace-up boots. Horses, a windmill and red mesas stretch behind them. Western film still, 1880s frontier, golden-hour light.

Naming the decade keeps the clothes and props true to the frontier. In DreamBot mode, try "me and [name]" in place of the two descriptions.

A jazz singer with black finger waves in a beaded gold dress singing on a 1920s club stage with a brass band behind her.

1920s jazz singer

Made with GPT Image 2

A jazz singer with glossy black finger waves sings into a vintage ribbon microphone on a small club stage, wearing a beaded gold flapper dress, a feathered headband and long pearls. A brass band, round café tables and a velvet curtain glow behind her. Hand-tinted 1920s photograph style, a single warm spotlight, champagne glasses catching the light.

The finger waves and the old microphone carry the era, so change the dress color or the band and it still feels like the 1920s.

An older astronaut with a white buzz cut floating by a space station window with Earth and a sunrise below.

Veteran astronaut

Made with Flux 1.1 Pro Ultra

A veteran astronaut in his sixties with a white buzz cut and a weathered smile floats beside a space station window, his helmet tucked under one arm, in a white spacesuit with worn mission patches. Earth glows below with swirling clouds and a thin line of sunrise. Realistic cinematic photograph, soft blue earthlight, a pen drifting in zero gravity.

A small true detail, like a pen drifting in zero gravity, is what makes a space portrait feel real.

A bearded scholar holding a brass astrolabe at a desk of old books and a globe, painted like a Renaissance oil portrait.

Renaissance scholar

Made with Flux Krea

A scholar in his forties with wavy shoulder-length hair and a trimmed black beard holds up a brass astrolabe at an oak desk stacked with leather books, a globe and a candle. Renaissance oil painting with deep shadows and glowing skin tones, soft window light from the left, a crimson velvet curtain behind him.

Light from a single window is what gives old portraits their glow. Try "me as a Renaissance scholar" for a picture worthy of a museum wall.
