A few extra tips
- Ask for a slightly oversized head and a small rounded body, toy proportions read far cuter than lifelike ones.
- Add a setting like "cradled in two hands" or "sitting on a cozy bed" to give the plush believable scale.
- A sitting pose with open arms looks more huggable than a stiff standing one, so name the pose you want.
