prompt:
A cute, high-quality miniature figurine Christmas ornament inspired by the attached subject / pet reference image, hanging from a beautifully decorated Christmas tree. The subject is clearly a small premium toy-like figurine, not a real animal — slightly stylized proportions (subtle chibi influence: gently rounded head, simplified paws, softened edges), while accurately preserving the subject’s unique facial features, markings, ear shape, and expression so the likeness remains instantly recogni...

Flux 2.Pro sees a working dog instead of a labrador. While this boy has this lineage mixed in, he definitely doesn't look like it.

If you change 'inspired by' to 'of' the attached pet reference than it goes much better. To reinforce further, you can mention the breed/color like 'black labrador' in prompt
Tested: December 13, 2025
Changed 'inspired by' to 'of' the attached pet reference and added 'black labrador' in prompt and Flux.2 Pro performed better

v4.5 has been somewhat disappointing for this task. tried it with another reference, of a cat, and also wan't blown away. Might still deliver great results if prompt is tweaked carefully for it.
Tested: December 15, 2025
The likeness is too vague and appearance too cartoonish, even if I drop the chibi influence part
Tested: December 15, 2025

Is the subject clearly a miniature figurine or ornament, not a real animal?
Does the figurine have slightly stylized proportions (rounded head, simplified paws, softened edges)?
Are the subject’s facial features and markings accurate enough to be recognizable?
Are the materials visibly artificial (painted resin, polymer clay, or molded plastic)?
Are there visible handcrafted textures (brush strokes, seams, sculpted grooves)?
Is the fur represented as sculpted texture, not lifelike hair or fuzz?
Is there a metallic hook attaching it to the tree, partially hidden by a small red ribbon bow?
Does the scale read as miniature, with oversized pine needles, lights, and ornaments around it?
Is the lighting warm and festive, with a soft rim light outlining the figure?
Does the bokeh background show fairy lights and tree décor, softly blurred?
Is the focus tack-sharp on the figurine, with shallow depth of field falloff behind it?
