Prompt
A low-poly portrait avatar of a stylized person, head and shoulders built from clean triangular facets, each facet filled with a flat tone from a cool gradient of deep indigo through teal to ice blue, subtle darker facets defining the jaw and hair, plain pale gray background, head centered with clear space above, no outlines, no text.

How to use this prompt
"Each facet filled with a flat tone" is what separates low-poly from a smooth 3D render — omit "flat" and DALL·E shades every triangle, blurring the crystalline effect into plastic. Anchoring the gradient direction (indigo through teal to ice blue) keeps the facets reading as one lit form rather than confetti. The "subtle darker facets defining the jaw and hair" clause is the readability insurance: at 40 pixels those darker planes are the only features left, so if the face vanishes in a thumbnail test, darken them further. Keep "no outlines" in — wireframe edges look sharp full-size but turn to gray mush inside a circle crop.
Variations to try
- Sunset facets — "flat tones from a gradient of burnt orange through coral to pale gold" flips the palette
- Animal mark — "a low-poly fox head built from clean triangular facets" makes a matching brand-style avatar
