The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the highlighted part of the prompt changes.

Prompt

A needle felted wool character photographed close up: an old man with a long cream wool beard, a thick knitted hat and a patterned jumper, hands resting under his chin. Visible wool fibres catching the light, slightly uneven felted surfaces, small stitched details, tiny black bead eyes. Soft diffuse photographic lighting, plain pale background, shallow depth of field. Handmade rather than manufactured.

Tips

1Visible fibres and uneven surfaces are what separate felt from a soft 3D render.
2Bead eyes rather than painted ones.
3Soft diffuse light. Hard light makes wool look like plastic.
