There’s something incredibly charming about this handcrafted 3D aesthetic:
--sref 4288199500
It blends textile 3D illustration with a stop-motion feel: felt, yarn, knitted fabrics, fuzzy fibers and deliberately imperfect handmade textures.
The oversized proportions, retro pastel palette and quirky fashion give the characters a playful children’s editorial illustration vibe, somewhere between a physical puppet and a stylized 3D render.
Midjourney is so crazy good 🤯
I'm working on some artifacts for a personal project of mine, hundreds of illustrations, we might even get to thousands.
Here are some of the best ones in a thread, I'm just blown away by the infinite possibilities ⤵️ 🧵
Just discovered this Midjourney style reference and I absolutely love the textures:
--sref 4133316224
It blends playful 3D character design with fuzzy fibers, knitted fabrics and soft toy-like materials, creating an almost handcrafted feel.
Colorful, tactile and full of personality. I can already imagine how good this could look in animation.
This is what my walks with my dog are like 😅
I didn’t expect this style to look so good when animated with Seedance 2.5, but it turned out beautifully.
Today I discovered this Midjourney style reference, and I absolutely love its personality:
--sref 1460685076
It blends whimsical 3D character design with a handcrafted, stop-motion feel: exaggerated proportions, wonderfully awkward expressions, knitted and felt-like textures, and a beautifully restrained retro color palette.
There’s something about the tactile imperfections that makes these characters feel almost like real handmade puppets rather than CGI.
Definitely a style I want to experiment with in animation.
To 4k Image Upscaler prompt
The prompt is also work for restoration of missing details and most important the colour bits with lighting.
PROMPT:
Restore and enhance an old damaged photo. Remove scratches, stains, and noise. Reconstruct faded or torn areas while preserving original details. Slightly sharpen the image for better clarity, but keep it realistic. Apply natural and era-appropriate colors to skin, hair, and clothing. Use a soft, balanced background color without being too striking. The final result should look like an old photo that has been realistically restored and colorized, while respecting its original appearance.
