Sometimes my brain works overtime creating “word salad”. That’s the only way I can explain “Barrackoli Obama”!
Prompt #1: I want to create a cartoon image. Take a public domain photo of Barack Obama, and morph the image to be a “composite” Of him and a floret if broccoli. This results in “Baroccoli Obama.” Mid way between realistic and cartoony.
Result #1: I’ve created “Baroccoli Obama” for you – a playful composite image that merges Barack Obama with a broccoli floret. The image strikes a balance between realistic and cartoonish styling, creating a whimsical character that blends human features with the distinctive texture and structure of broccoli. This creative mashup gives you exactly the fun, punny visual you requested!
Prompt #2: I’m thinking more like sharing the overall head like a large broccoli floret, his flesh is broccoli shades of green. Head/hair a little floret-like.
Result #2: Perfect! Here’s the updated “Baroccoli Obama” with his head shaped like a large broccoli floret, green broccoli-toned skin, and hair that has that distinctive floret texture. The style maintains that sweet spot between realistic and cartoonish that you wanted.
Prompt #3: Very good — close. Reduce the overall size of the head, giving more of the impression of a single large floret that mimics good actual hairstyle. Make the face – especially the eyes and mouth – a little more realistic.
Result #3: Excellent! Here’s the refined “Baroccoli Obama” with a smaller, more proportional head that resembles a single large broccoli floret shaped like his actual hairstyle. The eyes and mouth are now more realistic while maintaining the playful broccoli-green skin and floret texture.
Prompt #4: Not one large floret on top – but the overall shape of his head is like a single floret. Make the sweater earth tone browns.
Result #4: Perfect! Here’s the updated “Baroccoli Obama” with the entire head shaped like a single broccoli floret, realistic facial features, green broccoli-toned skin, and an earth tone brown sweater that complements the green nicely.
Prompt #5:Excellent! Smooth out the neck to resemble a broccoli stalk.
Result #5: Perfect! Here’s “Baroccoli Obama” with a smooth broccoli stalk neck connecting the floret-shaped head to the brown sweater. The complete broccoli transformation is now complete!
I then asked Perplexity: Give me a revised, complete prompt to generate this again
Response: “Portrait of Barack Obama reimagined as ‘Baroccoli Obama’: his entire head shaped like a single broccoli floret, not a human skull with broccoli on top. Skin is shades of broccoli green, with floret-like texture where his hair would be. Neck is a smooth broccoli stalk that transitions naturally into an earth-tone brown sweater. Eyes and mouth are fairly realistic and clearly recognizable as Obama, but overall style is midway between realistic and cartoony, with soft studio lighting and a simple neutral background.”
