Check a Malfoid portrait before posting

Check the face first, then the hands, hair edges, tie and background. Small slips are normal in generated images; a face that no longer looks like the person means trying another photo. Post it labeled as fan art.

Reference still, not a portrait made by this studio.

The short answer

Before you share a portrait, check the face first, then the hands, the hair edges and the tie and robe. Small slips are normal in generated images; a face that no longer looks like the person is a reason to try a different photo. When you post, label it as fan art or AI art.

1. The face

Compare the portrait with the photo you uploaded. The hair, light and makeup will be different on purpose, so look at what should stay: the shape of the eyes, the nose, the mouth and the jaw. If two or three of those look like someone else, the photo was probably too dark, too small in the frame or filtered.

Do not expect a perfect match. The portrait is a styled character picture, not a passport photo, and generated images can soften features.

2. Hands and fingers

Hands are the most common mistake in any generated picture: an extra finger, a merged thumb, a hand at an odd angle. In a head-and-shoulders portrait the hands are often out of frame. If they are visible and wrong, crop the picture or try again.

3. Hair, tie and robe

Look at the edges of the hair against the background, the stripes of the tie and the collar of the shirt. Generated images sometimes merge hair into a robe or bend stripes oddly. These are small at phone size, but they matter if you plan to print the picture or use it large.

4. Background text and symbols

The scene is an academy corridor, and generated backgrounds can include signs, crests or letters that are meaningless or look like real logos. Check for anything that reads as a real school crest or brand, and crop it if it does. A portrait should not look like an official image.

5. Label it as fan art

Malfoid is unofficial fan art. When you post a portrait, say so: 'AI fan art', 'Malfoid fan portrait' or a similar caption. Do not present it as an official character image, as a still from a film, or as a real picture of the person. If you made it from someone else's photo, ask them before posting.

Size and cropping

The portrait is a 3:4 still at 1K. That is sharp on a phone and in a social post, and fine for a profile picture. It is not meant for large prints; enlarging it far past its size will look soft.

If an app crops to a circle or a square, place the crop so the eyes sit about a third of the way down and the chin is inside the frame. Cropping out a flawed hand or a stray background symbol is a perfectly good fix.

If the portrait is not right

A portrait that finished but does not look right is not the same as a failed one. The fix is usually the photo: try a front-facing selfie in window light with no filter, as the photo guide describes.

If a paid portrait failed before delivery, credits that paid for it are released back to your balance, and a single payment goes to refund review; the payment provider confirms any cash refund. The refunds page has the details and the support address. A failure message on its own is not a refund confirmation.

Where and how to post

Many art sites and groups ask for AI-made images to be tagged or posted only in specific places. Check the rules of the community before you post, and use its AI tag if it has one.

In a caption, a short line is enough: what it is ('Malfoid fan portrait'), that it is AI-made, and, if you like, the name people search for, such as Female Malfoy or Fem Draco. Avoid captions that suggest the picture is from a film, a casting call or an official account.

Check before posting

Compare the face with your photo: eyes, nose, mouth, jaw.

Look at the hands, the hair edges and the tie.

Crop anything that looks like a real crest or logo.

Label it as fan art or AI art.

Will the portrait still look like me?
generation

Usually recognizably, but not identically: hair, light and styling change on purpose, and generated images can soften features. A clear, front-facing photo in even light gives the best likeness.
