Character Stepping Through Portal AI Template
The Character Stepping Through Portal template converts a single-person photo into a chibi character reaching back through a glowing blue-and-purple portal to pull the viewer in. One side shows a realistic programmer's study, the other the character's cool-toned chibi world, a split the prompt frames in 2:3 from a third-person view. It makes dramatic, story-driven profile art.

The prompt
The complete prompt, exactly as it runs in Art Studio. Copy it, edit it, or take it to any image tool you like — the CC-BY-4.0 license allows reuse and adaptation with credit to the original author below.
A 3D chibi-style version of the person in the photo is stepping through a glowing portal, reaching out and holding the viewer’s hand. As the character pulls the viewer forward, they turn back with a dynamic glance, inviting the viewer into their world. Behind the portal is the viewer’s real-life environment: a typical programmer’s study with a desk, monitor, and laptop, rendered in realistic detail. Inside the portal lies the character’s 3D chibi world, inspired by the photo, with a cool blue color scheme that sharply contrasts with the real-world surroundings. The portal itself is a perfectly elliptical frame glowing with mysterious blue and purple light, positioned at the center of the image as a gateway between the two worlds. The scene is captured from a third-person perspective, clearly showing the viewer’s hand being pulled into the character’s world. Use a 2:3 aspect ratio.
