Best Gemini Nano Banana Prompts to Generate 3D, Retro & More Image Styles

Unlike the ChatGPT Ghibli style trend that took the internet by storm, Google Gemini Nano Banana (the name of its AI model) didn’t get the same hype or attention, at least not at the beginning. But compared to the ChatGPT native image generator, which is initially available only for paid users, the Gemini image generator is free to use.

I have tested both the image generators, and while both have their cons, the Gemini Nano banana model excelled in two areas: it is faster and produces high-quality outputs.

Slowly, people have started noticing the tool, and I see a lot more Gemini-powered posts on social media generating different, uniquely styled images. From 3D avatars, making high-quality image edits that once required high-quality image editing software like Photoshop.

If you are curious, you can generate some really unique styles of images using the Google Gemini Nano Banana image generator. While it requires prompting to get the best results, you don’t need to explicitly prompt the model precisely to get similar results. Here is the best collection of nano gemini prompts people are using to generate unique styles of images.

Collection of the Best Nano Banana Prompts

You can simply copy and paste the prompt and get similar high-quality results. Before that, if you are a beginner to the Nano Banana image model in Gemini, here is the guide on how to edit images using Google Gemini.

Open the app, create a new chat, and upload the image you want to convert. Then, copy and paste the prompt, click on Enter, and it will generate an image for you.

Create 3D Figures

Creating 3d figures in the current trend is similar to how users generated Ghibli-style images in ChatGPT. You can simply upload a photo of yourself and copy-paste the below prompt, and that’s it, Gemini will generate a 3d version of yourself similar to one that is from the image above.

Prompt 1:

Create a 1/7 scale commercialized figurine of the characters in the picture, in a realistic style, in a real environment. The figurine is placed on a computer desk. The figurine has a round transparent acrylic base with no text on the base. The content on the computer screen is a 3D modeling process of this figurine. Next to the computer screen is a toy packaging box, designed in a style reminiscent of high-quality collectible figures, printed with original artwork. The packaging features two-dimensional flat illustrations.

Prompt 2: 

Create a 1/7 scale commercialized figurine of the characters in the picture, in a realistic style, in a real environment. The figurine is placed on a wooden artist’s desk, scattered with sketchbooks and paintbrushes. The figurine has a round transparent acrylic base with no text on the base. The content on the computer tablet screen is a digital illustration painting process of the figurine, showing layers and brush strokes. Next to the tablet is a toy packaging box styled like an art book, decorated with colorful concept sketches.

Generate a Miniature Keychain of Yourself

Another fun way to create a miniature keychain of yourself. Use the prompt below to generate a miniature keychain of yourself.
