Liquid metal

Start with the right photo.

Use a clearly outlined hard object with visible surface detail; name any soft padding that must remain unchanged.

What to expect

Wrap the subject in flowing polished metal while keeping its silhouette.

Keep an eye on

Recognizable identity, silhouette and important visible details. Compare the output to the original before using it.

Make it yours, step by step.

1. Adjust the recipe to describe your subject and preferred background.
2. Copy the complete recipe, then open ChatGPT.
3. Upload your photo in ChatGPT and paste the recipe. The short code alone is not an official command.
4. Inspect identity, text and proportions. Ask for a targeted correction if needed.

Choose the change deliberately.

Decide whether the metal should appear to flow around the object or replace its outer shell. Keep a few stable anchors, such as the headband junctions, so the transformation remains readable rather than becoming an unrelated splash.

Review and refine the result

If the surface looks merely polished, ask for one visible fold with a thick rounded edge. If the outline collapses, reduce the flowing area instead of adding more preservation instructions.

A related direction, and why

/CHROME — Choose a fixed reflective finish when the object's construction matters more than visible movement in the material.

Where this effect helps — and its limits.

Useful for a flowing-metal concept. A mirror finish alone is not the intended result: ask for visible ribbons or viscous ripples while retaining the outline.
