In the last three days there has been a new wave of trending on Twitter and this time it's about Funko Pops, where users have had the opportunity to create their own funko version digitally, showing off a minimalist avatar of this type of collectible figures. Today, let's see how you can make your own.
It's quite simple actually, you just have to use an artificial intelligence model that allows you to generate an image that represents you in your funko variant. In my case, I used Bing Image Creator to recreate myself and my friends, so using it you can create yours too and enjoying of this digital initiative.
Just register and place this prompt by changing the specifications and characteristics of the person you want to materialise, and that's it. By my hand, I can say that creating things like this is quite entertaining and it's very convenient to spend hours making these figures.
! [PROMPT] commercial image of a funko pop, the funko pop is made of a white girl, long black hair, pink lips, black dress, with fries, the box shows the name 'JESSY FRIES' on it, all in a wooden table, realistic, high definition, 8k
Often you will need to generate the same prompt multiple times as the artificial intelligence model may miss some details, such as name or clothing. If you put very long names you may spend a little more time than usual, but it can be done.
#FunkoFamily is the hashtag used in X to make these avatars visible, so if you manage to generate it, don't miss the opportunity for all your followers to see it. I spent about 20 minutes trying to create mine and you'll see that it didn't place the name well, only one came out good with the pseudonym but I didn't like it very much, it's a matter of being patient with the tool.
If you use another artificial intelligence model please share it in the comments of this post so we can all know which ones work to generate this kind of images. I'm sure that MidJourney, Leonardo AI and Gencraft can do it pretty fine, but I'm not sure yet how faithful the other models are to give with the required result.
Here I will leave some funkos that I generated for my friends, while practising various prompts to improve them over time. This idea serves as a perfect Christmas gift for those loved ones and friends we have, and even more, if they were to mint as non-fungible tokens and give the whole gift directly to their wallet. What do you think of this funko-style avatar variant? Here I leave a tweet/post to make a thread with our pops, without further ado, enjoy, create and give one to your best friend. See you soon!
