AI-generated characters have a huge range of applications, including starring in video games, animations, comics, and profile pictures across social networks. Game developers, animators, and authors may find that AI character generators are a remarkable way to visualize characters without having to commission custom designs. AI-generated characters are also great for storyboarding, concept art, and creating virtual avatars and mascots. You can even turn yourself into a character to use in messages and on social media.
First, clearly define the key features of your desired character style—proportions, features, color schemes, attire, and overall aesthetic—and incorporate those elements into your prompts. Consider creating a set of character creation guidelines to consistently steer the AI's output. When you design a character that nails the look, save the prompt you used. Likewise, take note of which prompts miss the mark and refine them. Keeping a log of successful prompts will help you generate winning characters more consistently over time.
