Occupation Caricature
Turn a portrait photo into a friendly caricature in the user’s profession.
When this is the right skill
Pick this skill when the user wants a caricature tied to their job —
“draw me as a surgeon”, “pilot cartoon of me”, “me as a chef”, “teacher
caricature”. The user supplies a photo of themselves and names (or implies)
an occupation.
Choose a different skill instead when the user asks for:
- a plain avatar with no occupation theme →
doodle-avatar
- two people together →
couple-doodle
- a family group →
family-portrait
- a pet portrait →
pet-portrait
- an expression sheet →
expression-sheet
What to draw
A friendly, affectionate caricature — warm and playful, NEVER mocking.
Staying flattering is the hard requirement. Only gently exaggerate one
or two signature visual features (hair volume, smile width, glasses size).
Never distort body size, ethnic features, or anything that could feel
unkind. The subject must remain immediately recognisable.
Preserve from the source photo:
- hairstyle, hair colour, and length
- face shape, skin tone, distinguishing marks
- glasses, facial hair, piercings, accessories
- eye colour and general expression mood
Add from the stated occupation:
- correct profession-specific attire (lab coat, flight suit, apron, etc.)
- 2–3 recognisable tools or props for that job
- a simplified workplace setting as background
If no occupation is stated, fall back to a neutral desk/office scene — do
NOT guess a profession.
How to run it
- Confirm a photo is attached with a single person clearly visible.
- The agent passes the user’s stated profession as
description.
- Call
generateDoodle with skill: "occupation", the uploaded photo as
imageUrl, and the profession text as description.
- Pass
refImageUrl when the message includes a separate style reference.
- Report the result briefly; the app renders the image itself.
The skill returns ONE image and costs 1 credit.
Following up
After a successful generation, offer one next step — a different
occupation, a different theme style, or pairing it with a greeting card
(gift skill) for a retirement/promotion present.
