You've chosen a face for your AI influencer. Now you want to show a complete outfit, but your only accepted image is a portrait. What should the rest of this person look like—and how do you keep the face you already like?

The portrait gives you a starting point, including any shoulders or upper body visible in it. It doesn't settle everything outside the frame. Your first full-body image therefore involves two decisions: keeping the established appearance recognizable and choosing the parts you haven't seen yet.

This walkthrough is for that one-portrait starting point. If you already have an accepted head-to-foot image, you can move straight to keeping the body consistent across later posts. Here, we'll choose that first image using a filled prompt and two examples of what to revise.

Decide what stays and what you're choosing

Keep the selected portrait beside you while you write. Notice the face shape, eyes, nose, hair and skin tone you want to recognize in the next image. If it shows the shoulders, respect those visible proportions too. You don't need to describe every feature in words; the portrait will also serve as a reference image, an image supplied to guide generation.

Then make a short description of the body appearance you want to try. Think in ordinary visual terms such as overall build and shoulder width. An exact height or clothing size won't give you a useful way to judge a picture with no reliable scale.

For this example, imagine a fictional adult AI influencer called Alex. The chosen portrait shows a rounded face, short dark curls and medium-brown skin, with little visible below the neck. We'll try this new body description:

Medium build, moderately broad shoulders, and a relaxed upright posture.

Those are design choices for Alex, not proportions recovered from the portrait. Yours can be different. The purpose is to give yourself something concrete to accept or revise, instead of letting the first attractive result make every choice for you.

Give the first image a simple job

Start with clothes that let you see the overall shape: for Alex, a plain grey T-shirt, straight-leg dark trousers and trainers. A bulky coat would hide the shoulders and torso we are trying to choose. Ordinary opaque clothing is enough for this task.

Ask for an uncomplicated standing view with the whole person visible, including both feet. Leave the elaborate pose, bag and busy street scene for another image. This first view needs to help you judge the appearance before you build a finished outfit post around it.

Use your portrait with this sample prompt. Replace Alex's name, hair and skin details with those of your AI influencer, then change the body description and outfit to the choices you want to try:

Create one photographic full-body image of Alex, the same adult AI influencer shown in the portrait reference. Keep the face, short dark curls and medium-brown skin from that reference. For the body appearance, use a medium build, moderately broad shoulders and a relaxed upright posture. Alex wears a plain grey T-shirt, dark straight-leg trousers and simple trainers. Show Alex facing the camera, standing with arms resting loosely at the sides. Include the entire head and both feet, with a little space above and below. Use a plain wall and floor, soft daylight and a level camera view. Show one person in one image.

The prompt gives the reference a clear role, then describes the new body and scene. Google's image prompting guidance similarly recommends specifying the subject, framing, action, location and style. Treat these as directions for a candidate you will review; the same guidance notes that character features can still come out incorrectly.

Use the portrait and prompt in Synthetic Actor

In Synthetic Actor, select the AI influencer whose saved reference images include your chosen portrait. A preset holds the prompt you'll use for image generation. Choose Create General Preset for this simple standing image, give it a name, then open the Prompt Template tab and paste the full prompt into its text field. Keep Character in image switched on so the selected influencer's references are included.

Save the preset with Create Preset, then select it to open the generation screen. Use Ignite Build for the first attempt. For another attempt, edit the preset's Prompt Template and save the changes before generating again.

Use a preset without unrelated image references or scene instructions for this first view. If the influencer already has several saved reference images, make sure they agree with the appearance you want to keep; naming one portrait in the prompt doesn't remove the other saved references from the request.

Review the face before accepting the new body

Place the result next to the portrait. Start with recognition: does the face still look like your AI influencer? Compare its shape and the relationships between the eyes, nose and mouth, rather than relying on matching hair alone. If the face is too small or indistinct to judge, don't accept that image as your reference yet.

Next, look at the body description you chose. Does the overall build fit it? Are the shoulders what you intended? Check the image itself as well: both feet should be present, limbs should join sensibly, and the head and body should belong together. A correct face doesn't make a visibly broken body usable.

The distinction matters when you revise. A different face conflicts with an established choice. A body you don't like may simply mean your new design needs clearer wording. Consider these two possible results for Alex.

The body works, but the face is different

Suppose the build looks right, but Alex's rounded face has become narrow and angular. Keep the body description and simple scene unchanged. Check that the original portrait is still included, then replace the prompt's face instruction with a more specific comparison:

Use the portrait reference for Alex's facial appearance. Keep the rounded face shape, nose shape and spacing between the eyes shown there, along with the short dark curls and medium-brown skin.

This directs the next attempt toward the mismatch you noticed. Avoid rewriting the entire appearance as a new person. After generating again, compare both the face and the body; a new attempt can change details you didn't ask to revise.

The face matches, but the build isn't what you wanted

Now suppose Alex is recognizable, but the shoulders and arms look much more muscular than you had in mind. You haven't lost an established full-body appearance: you are still choosing one. Revise the new body sentence, keeping the portrait, outfit and scene the same:

For the body appearance, use a medium build with softly rounded upper arms and moderately broad shoulders, without pronounced muscle definition. Keep a relaxed upright posture.

That gives “medium build” a more specific meaning for this example. Judge the next result against what you actually want, including whether the face still matches. You can accept a body choice you like even if it differs from your first idea, but make that a deliberate decision before using it in later images.

Keep the image you want to build on

Once the face is recognizable, the chosen build looks right and the anatomy is usable, you have your first full-body comparison image. Keep the original portrait too: it remains useful for facial detail that is harder to see in the wider view.

In Synthetic Actor's generation results, select every image you want to retain before using the Save to Gallery button, which displays the number selected; saving removes the unselected pending images for that preset. You can then download a saved image from the gallery. Keeping a result in the gallery doesn't automatically add it to the influencer's reference images.

For Alex, the next move is now straightforward: use the accepted appearance to plan one outfit image. Keep the face and chosen build as the point of comparison while changing the clothes. If proportions start varying across later posts, the body consistency guide takes over from this first selection.
