Monster Tamer
Redraw the person in an uploaded photo as an anime creature tamer, beside one
small original companion.
When this is the right skill
Pick this when someone wants themselves plus a cute invented creature in the
bright anime creature-collector look.
Choose a different skill instead when the user asks for:
- their real pet drawn from a photo →
pet-portrait
- a sea-adventure hero look →
pirate-voyage
- a stealth-action look →
ninja-village
- the house marker-and-ink doodle look →
doodle-avatar
- a moving version →
doodle-spark or doodle-dash
The naming rule (not optional)
Name the genre and the look, never a series, studio, artist or character —
and never a creature that already exists. Two reasons, both real: upstream image
models refuse many named-character prompts, so the skill would fail at random and
read as our bug; and reproducing a known creature is a derivative of a protected
character, which is the actual legal exposure.
The invented creature is also the better product. A companion designed around the
user’s own colours and chosen element is more personal than a copy of one
everybody already has. If the user names a creature from a show, ask which
element they want instead and design a fresh one.
What to draw
- The same person: hairstyle, hair colour, face shape, skin tone, freckles,
glasses, facial hair all preserved. Full anime proportions, not chibi.
- An invented adventuring outfit — light hooded jacket, sturdy boots, small
satchel. No emblem or symbol on it.
- One original creature, knee-height or shoulder-sized, following mascot
craft: a single readable silhouette that survives at coin size, rounded shape
language so it reads friendly, exactly one signature feature, and a limited
three-colour palette chosen not to clash with the person’s hair.
- The two of them clearly interacting — a hand reaching out, or the creature
leaning against their leg — on a sunny outdoor path.
- Nothing that reads as capture or restraint: no cages, collars, leashes or
chains. The companion is a friend.
How to run it
- Confirm a photo of the person is attached. Without one there is no likeness
to preserve, so ask for one rather than inventing a face.
- Ask for or infer an element — leaf, flame, water, stone, spark or cloud —
and pass it as
description. Without one the skill picks its own, which is
fine but less personal.
- Call
generateDoodle with skill: "tamer", the photo as imageUrl, and the
element plus any colour or setting notes as description.
- Pass
refImageUrl when the message includes a separate style reference.
- Report the result briefly; the app renders the image itself.
Returns ONE image and costs 1 credit.
Following up
Offer one next step — a different element for a second companion, the same
person as a sea-adventure captain (pirate-voyage) or a stealth warrior
(ninja-village), or bringing the pair to life as a moving doodle
(doodle-spark).
