This post takes one portrait and runs six style prompts through Kolors IP-Adapter.<\/p>\n<h2>Model link<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wiro.ai\/models\/wiro\/kolors-ip-adapter\">https:\/\/wiro.ai\/models\/wiro\/kolors-ip-adapter<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Base image (input)<\/h2>\n<figure>\n  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wiro.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/sd35-4.png\" alt=\"Base portrait used as input\"\/><figcaption>Input: one portrait image used for all six style transfers.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Test setup<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Size: 1024&#215;1024<\/li>\n<li>Steps: 30<\/li>\n<li>Guidance scale: 3.5<\/li>\n<li>Negative prompt: &#8220;bad, blurry, watermark&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Style 1: Shinkai-inspired anime avatar<\/h2>\n<figure>\n  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wiro.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/kolors-ip-1.png\" alt=\"Anime avatar output\"\/><figcaption>Prompt: Anime avatar style inspired by Makoto Shinkai, rich vibrant colors, soft light and shadow, dreamy sky background, ultra-detailed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This style usually works best when the prompt emphasizes lighting and background mood, not extra props. Keep it simple to preserve identity.<\/p>\n<h2>Style 2: 3D animation look<\/h2>\n<figure>\n  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wiro.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/kolors-ip-2.png\" alt=\"3D character portrait output\"\/><figcaption>Prompt: Pixar-like 3D character portrait, soft studio lighting, clean background, high detail, friendly expression.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>3D prompts often change facial proportions. If you want a closer match, add &#8220;keep face shape unchanged&#8221; and reduce stylization words.<\/p>\n<h2>Style 3: Renaissance oil painting<\/h2>\n<figure>\n  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wiro.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/kolors-ip-3.png\" alt=\"Oil painting portrait output\"\/><figcaption>Prompt: Renaissance oil painting portrait, Rembrandt lighting, textured canvas, muted warm palette, realistic brushwork.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This style benefits from texture keywords (canvas, brushwork). It can preserve pose while changing material and color grading.<\/p>\n<h2>Style 4: Cyberpunk portrait<\/h2>\n<figure>\n  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wiro.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/kolors-ip-4.png\" alt=\"Cyberpunk portrait output\"\/><figcaption>Prompt: Cyberpunk portrait, neon rim lights, wet street bokeh, high contrast, reflective jacket, cinematic.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Neon prompts push strong rim lights and saturated colors. Mention one clear environment cue (wet street bokeh) and let the model fill the rest.<\/p>\n<h2>Style 5: Film noir black-and-white<\/h2>\n<figure>\n  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wiro.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/kolors-ip-5.png\" alt=\"Black and white film noir portrait output\"\/><figcaption>Prompt: Black and white film noir portrait, strong key light, deep shadows, 35mm grain, classic look.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Noir style is a good test for lighting control. If it looks flat, add &#8220;hard shadows&#8221; and &#8220;single key light&#8221;.<\/p>\n<h2>Style 6: Flat vector avatar<\/h2>\n<figure>\n  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wiro.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/kolors-ip-6.png\" alt=\"Flat vector avatar output\"\/><figcaption>Prompt: Flat vector illustration avatar, clean lines, limited color palette, simple background, modern icon style.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Vector prompts work best when you ask for limited colors and clean lines. If it becomes too painterly, remove extra realism words.<\/p>\n<h2>Quick takeaways<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Goal<\/th>\n<th>What to write in the prompt<\/th>\n<th>Common failure<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Keep identity stable<\/td>\n<td>Keep prompt short and style-focused<\/td>\n<td>Too many props change the face<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Strong lighting changes<\/td>\n<td>Key light direction + contrast words<\/td>\n<td>Flat lighting when prompt is vague<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Clean vector look<\/td>\n<td>Limited palette + clean lines<\/td>\n<td>Painterly texture sneaks in<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>Try it<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/wiro.ai\/models\/wiro\/kolors-ip-adapter\">Run Kolors IP-Adapter on Wiro<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kolors IP-Adapter: 6 Avatar Styles From One Photo IP-Adapter style transfer can keep a subject consistent while pushing the output into very&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":2039,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[56],"tags":[61,189,188],"class_list":["post-2022","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-before-after","tag-image-editing","tag-ip-adapter","tag-kolors"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wiro.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2022","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wiro.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wiro.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wiro.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wiro.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2022"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/wiro.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2022\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2040,"href":"https:\/\/wiro.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2022\/revisions\/2040"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wiro.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2039"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wiro.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2022"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wiro.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2022"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wiro.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2022"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
