Domain adaptation frameworks for producing a 3D avatar generative adversarial network (GAN) capable of generating an avatar based on a single photographic image. The 3D avatar GAN is produced by training a target domain using an artistic dataset. Each artistic dataset includes a plurality of source images, each associated with a style type, such as caricature, cartoon, and comic. The domain adaptation framework in some implementations starts with a source domain that has been trained according to a 3D GAN and a target domain trained with a 2D GAN. The framework fine-tunes the 2D GAN by training it with the artistic datasets. The resulting 3D avatar GAN generates a 3D artistic avatar and an editing module for performing semantic and geometric edits.
