Motu Patlu AI Photo Prompts
Copy prompts that place you beside two life-size 3D cartoon friends while keeping your face, proportions, and lighting believable.
Before you paste
A four-step workflow
- 01Upload the best source you have. Prefer a sharp front-facing portrait or full-body shot with even light. Avoid heavy filters, group crops, or tiny faces.
- 02Say what must not change: your face, skin tone, hairstyle, body proportions, and (unless you ask) your clothes stay locked.
- 03Pick one scene per generate: rooftop, village street, highway welcome board, park, or alley gag.
- 04Inspect face likeness, character scale on the same ground plane, contact shadows, and whether both cartoon friends still read clearly before posting.
Paste this first
Face-lock prefix
Paste this block before any scene prompt. It tells the model to keep your face exactly as it appears in the upload — no beautifying, no restyling, no drifting.
Short face-lock
Avoid: Do not restyle, beautify, or cartoonize the real person.
Use the uploaded photo as the only face reference. Keep my identity exact.Show the constrained face-lock
Use the uploaded photo as the only face reference for the real person.
Preserve an exact identity match: facial structure, jawline, skin tone, hairstyle, beard or makeup if present, eyes, nose, lips, expression, age, and overall likeness.
Do not alter, recreate, beautify, stylize, age-shift, gender-shift, or replace the face.
Keep body proportions consistent with the reference unless a full-body wardrobe change is explicitly requested.
The two cartoon characters are separate subjects and must not borrow my facial features.Copy and adapt

Start with the short version. Open the detailed one when the face drifts, the characters look pasted in, or the lighting doesn't match.

Place two life-size 3D cartoon friends on the same ground plane:

This is a correction pass. Use the uploaded photo as the ONLY face reference.
My facial features, bone structure, and identity must be a strict exact match to the reference. If anything conflicts, prefer the reference face over the previous output.
Keep a Motu Patlu style composite: me centered with two life-size 3D cartoon friends (short portly red-and-yellow mustached friend with optional samosa; tall thin bald friend with round glasses).
Preserve a simple sunny outdoor setting (rooftop or park). Do not swap in a new location unless the previous background is broken.
Fix only:
1) face identity and skin detail on me,
2) equal ground-plane scale so the friends are life-size beside me,
3) matched key light and contact shadows,
4) no face features copied from me onto the cartoon friends.
Return one clean social-ready image. No watermark, no extra people, no text overlay.Composition patterns

Troubleshooting
Common failures and the next edit
My face looks like someone else
Why: Weak face lock, side profile source, or heavy beauty filter on the upload.
Next edit: Paste the face-lock prefix and run the face-lock rescue prompt with a sharper front-facing source.
Motu and Patlu do not look right
Why: The prompt only said "cartoon friends" without body contrast.
Next edit: Keep both anchors: short+portly+mustache+red/yellow vs tall+thin+bald+round glasses.
They look sticker-pasted onto the photo
Why: Missing shared light and contact shadows.
Next edit: Require matched key light, shared ground plane, realistic contact shadows, no cutout halo.
Character scale is way off (giants or miniatures)
Why: No life-size constraint was given.
Next edit: Require life-size relative to the subject and feet on the same ground plane.
Weird full body invented from a selfie
Why: Model invented body or wardrobe aggressively.
Next edit: Ask for three-quarter crop matching the reference, or upload a full-body source.
Broken city name on the highway sign
Why: Stylized or bilingual lettering failed.
Next edit: Use English-only WELCOME {city} in bold simple lettering.
FAQ
Questions about Motu Patlu AI photos
What is a Motu Patlu AI photo?
A composite edit where a real photo of you is combined with two recognizable 3D cartoon friends—one short and portly, one tall and thin—so it looks like you posed together outdoors. It is a viral trend driven by Indian Instagram and YouTube creators using ChatGPT and Gemini.
Which tool should I use, ChatGPT or Gemini?
Both work for this trend. Use whichever image tool you already have. Start with the short prompt; switch to the detailed version if identity or lighting fails on the first generate.
How do I keep my face from changing?
Upload a clear front-facing photo and paste the face-lock prefix before the scene prompt. If the first result drifts, run the face-lock rescue pair (prompt 08) without changing the whole scene.
Can I add my city name to the photo?
Yes. Use the highway welcome prompt and replace {city} with your city before you generate. Keep the city name short and in English for best text rendering.
Can I make a Motu Patlu AI video with these prompts?
These prompts are for still photos only. Name-calling video workflows need a separate image-to-video step and different motion prompts. Start with a strong still, then animate elsewhere if you want a Reel.
Is this page affiliated with the Motu Patlu franchise?
No. PromptEdit is not affiliated with the Motu Patlu franchise owners. These are fan-style editing prompts for personal, non-official composites. Character designs are third-party IP.
