How to use this prompt

"Low sun backlighting the fur into a glowing halo rim" is the money clause — without it Flux lights the dog flat-on and the golden-hour signature vanishes. "Gentle fill light on the face" matters just as much, because pure backlight silhouettes the eyes, and on a pet account avatar the eyes are the whole personality at 40 pixels. Keep the head centered with space above the ears: platform circle crops clip ear tips first, and pointy-eared breeds suffer most. Hold guidance at 3.5 — pushing it higher hardens the bokeh into distracting rings behind the head.

Variations to try

  • Cat version — "a long-haired ginger cat with green eyes" keeps the same halo-rim recipe
  • Indoor refresh — swap the field for "soft warm bokeh of fairy lights indoors" for a winter update
