🎨 Hair, Eyes & Body Shape – Defining Core Features in ViVid Prompts

When you create characters with ViVid models, the details matter. Hair color, eye shape, body type — all of these turn a generic character into a unique one.

In this article, we'll break down how to control core features in your prompts so you can design characters that stay consistent across multiple images.

🧑‍🎨 Why Focus on Hair, Eyes & Body Shape?

• Hair → sets immediate personality cues (playful, serious, dramatic).
• Eyes → the emotional core of your character.
• Body Shape → defines silhouette and how the character interacts with a scene.

✨ Hair Prompting

You can define hair by color, style, and length.

• Color: blonde hair, silver hair, blue hair, two-tone hair
• Style: curly hair, straight hair, ponytail, braid, messy hair
• Length: short hair, long hair, shoulder-length hair

👉 This gives you a character with long silver hair, styled in a slightly chaotic way — perfect for an adventurous vibe.

👀 Eye Prompting

Eyes control mood and intensity.

• Colors: blue eyes, amber eyes, heterochromia
• Shapes/Styles: sharp eyes, round eyes, narrow eyes
• Effects: glowing eyes, tear-filled eyes, shiny eyes

👉 Instantly makes her feel strong and confident, with piercing eyes.

🏋️ Body Shape Prompting

You don't need to overload your prompt with anatomy details. Just guide general proportions.

• Height/Build: tall, petite, slim, athletic, curvy
• Bust/Waist/Hips (Anime Models): small breasts, medium breasts, large breasts, wide hips, slim waist
• Muscularity: toned abs, muscular arms, soft body

👉 Creates a sporty character with defined features.

⚖️ Combining Features

The key is balance. Avoid stacking 10+ attributes in one prompt. Instead:

• Choose 1–2 key hair descriptors
• Pick 1–2 eye traits
• Define 1 body type trait

👉 Result: a cyberpunk heroine with clear personality and consistent features.

🚫 Common Mistakes

❌ Overloading: long curly blonde pink silver streaked messy braided hair → model gets confused.

❌ Contradictory traits: slim build, muscular body, petite, tall → cancels out.

❌ Forgetting balance: if you overload hair, eyes & body, the model ignores some.
