Tested 20 Oct 2026 in grok-imagine-image-2.0
Test settings
Reference photos: a fictional AI-generated dog and an AI-generated picture of a fictional woman (not a real person), made in Grok for this test. Uploaded in that order with the default copy text unchanged. Aspect ratio 3:4 (no 4:5 preset). First result used; long side resized to 1920 px and converted to WebP.
Variability
Faces, poses and small details vary between runs; always compare the result with your own photo and your own pet's photo.
Prompt
Use the first uploaded photo as the reference for my pet: carry its coat colours and markings, eye colour, ear shape and personality into a fictional adult human, not based on any real person. Use the second photo as the reference for me; preserve my recognisable face, natural skin tone, hairline and body proportions as closely as the model permits; check the result against both references. The result must show a completely human head and face: human skin, human nose, human ears and human hair, with no animal head, muzzle, snout, fur or whiskers anywhere. The pet shows only through hair colour, eye colour, clothing colours, expression and pose.
Scene: the two of us on a park bench, the pet's human version next to me.
Pose: sitting side by side like best friends, the pet's human version leaning on my shoulder and stealing a snack from a plain unlabelled bowl.
Clothing: my clothes from the photo; the pet's human version dressed in its coat colours.
Light: soft late-afternoon daylight.
Style: photorealistic friendly portrait, natural skin texture, light humour.
Format: vertical 4:5
Avoid: animal head, muzzle, snout, whiskers, fur on the skin, animal ears, tails, changing my face or identity, animal ears on the human, resemblance to any real person, a child, extra fingers, text, logos, packaging text, watermarks.

Customise

For example: a park bench.

For example: leaning on my shoulder and stealing a snack from a plain unlabelled bowl.
