Fix Blotchy AI Faces with Skin and Hair Texture References (Seedream 5.0 Flash)
An image-edit prompt that keeps a character image exactly as it is and only transfers fine skin micro-texture and hair strand structure from two texture reference images, while balancing contrast to a natural photographic level. Works across characters; tuned for Seedream 5.0 Flash. Shared by @Kiber_Alla.

Your prompt
Keep <<<image_1>>> exactly as it is: same person, same face shape and features, same expression, same hairstyle and hair shape, same hair color, same skin tone, same makeup, same wrinkles, freckles, moles, scars and facial hair, same clothing and accessories, same pose, composition, layout, background and framing. Change only the surface texture: - Skin: apply the micro-texture from <<<image_2>>> — fine natural skin lines, pores and soft realistic surface. Do not copy its color or its glossy shine. - Hair: apply the strand structure from <<<image_3>>> — fine individual strands, soft natural flyaways. Do not copy its color. Balance the contrast to a natural photographic level: if image 1 looks too harsh or blotchy, soften it; if it looks flat or washed out, add depth. Aim for a well-balanced realistic photo — rich but not crushed shadows, clean highlights, smooth even tonal transitions, natural shading with real volume. No retouching, no beautifying, no plastic look.

When to use it
Use when a generated character looks blotchy, blurry, plastic or over-contrasted and you want realistic skin and hair without changing identity, pose or framing.
How to get the best result
- Attach three images in order: image 1 your character (sheet), image 2 a close-up skin texture, image 3 a hair texture matching light or dark hair.
- Keep the <<<image_n>>> tokens matching the order you upload; change them if your tool uses a different reference syntax.
- The author recommends Seedream 5.0 Flash as a cheaper option than Nano Banana 2.1 or GPT Image 2.5.
Watch-outs
- A glossy skin reference can leak its shine or colour; pick a matte, neutral sample.
- If the source is very low resolution, fine pores may still look painted on.
