This is my cat Pinkie. She's a little strange. She likes to be petted by your foot and not your hand. She likes to hang out with me. So I used Pinkie's pic for image-to-image. First prompt was not good enough: Prompt 1: The female cat is Pinkie. Make Pinkie into a Victorian Steampunk Professor, Academic Realism 2. GPT 2.5 Sunburst lol, that's not the usual position of a steampunk professor 3. Nano Banana 2.1 better but sitting on one's desk is not quite professorlike So I added one word to the prompt to fix it: anthropomorphic Prompt 2: The female cat is Pinkie. Make Pinkie into an anthropomorphic Victorian Steampunk Professor, Academic Realism yay! looks like a Professor! 4. Nano Banana 2.1 5. Muse 1.0 6. GPT 2.5 Sunburst #5 Muse, looked the most like Pinkie. Then #4, then #6. #6 is missing her little triangle by her nose. The other thing is apparently the AI assumes Victorian steampunk professors are all male because it made male professors even though I said Pinkie was a female cat. So if I were to do this again, I'd be sure to put female not just on Pinkie's name but also on the costume I'm putting on her. Other than that, I'm quite pleased. It was fun turning Pinkie into a steampunk professor. What do you think?

About this image

This relaxed domestic calico cat splays on its back across soft white bed linens, bathed in warm gentle golden indoor light. It has distinct black, orange, and white fur markings, a pink nose, and a silly laid-back expression looking directly at the viewer. Blurred background bookshelves create a cozy, calm lazy home atmosphere.

This whimsical anthropomorphic artwork features a calico cat styled as a 17th century natural philosopher, outfitted with round wire spectacles, a lace ruffled collar, and rich brocade velvet robes. Warm amber lighting casts a soft glow over the vintage wood desk stacked with leather bound books, a brass armillary sphere, handwritten astronomical manuscripts, and a pocket watch. The mood is playful and cozy, blending dark academia, steampunk, and cute fantasy aesthetics.

This detailed oil painting features an anthropomorphic calico cat dressed in full steampunk regalia, complete with brass goggles, a tiny top hat, ruffled cravat, and pocket watch chain, perched atop a thick leather desk book. Warm rich wood, brass, and cream tones fill a sunlit vintage study lined with antique leather books, vintage globes, navigation tools, handwritten manuscripts, and intricate brass steampunk gadgets. The cozy, whimsical mood blends victorian academic charm with playful whimsical fantasy character design.
