I created this video to walk through how to create a Studio Ghibli-style image of yourself using ChatGPT and some AI image generation tools.

There’s been a big wave of people creating stylized AI portraits — and Ghibli art is one of the most charming and recognizable styles.

In this video, I show how to:

  1. Use ChatGPT to craft the perfect prompt
  2. Feed that prompt into an image generator like MidJourney or DALL·E
  3. Add style descriptors like “Ghibli-inspired,” “animated,” or “soft watercolor look”
  4. Experiment with backgrounds, outfits, and framing
  5. Generate multiple versions to find the best fit

I’ve had a lot of fun with this — using it for profile pictures, YouTube thumbnails, and even prints for friends and family.

Have you explored AI art styles like Ghibli yet?
