Game character generator

From concept to turnaround

Start with a class or role and the three things that signal it: silhouette, palette, signature prop. "A scrappy alchemist with goggles pushed up, a belt of rattling vials and a scorched apron" tells the renderer what to emphasise. The automatic sheet gives front, side and back views, which is what a modeller or animator wants to see first.

Pixel art and sprite studies

The pixel style renders the same design with a limited palette and chunky pixels. It is useful for mock-ups, store pages and mood boards, and for seeing how a design reads when it is thirty pixels tall. Ask for "idle pose, side view, plain background" or "four-direction walk frames on one sheet" to get sprite-like references. Treat them as concept work rather than engine-ready assets.

Portraits, key art and promo shots

Dialogue portraits want a square shape, a neutral background and two or three expressions. Key art wants a dramatic scene in 16:9 or 2:3 with Detailed quality so you can upscale it to print. Promo clips (a weapon flourish, a cape in wind, a reload) come from the Videos tab with a short motion line. Everything stays on-model because the references ride along with every request.

Casts and variants

Make one character per party member or enemy type; the characters page keeps them together. For armour tiers or skins, use Edit on a finished render ("replace the leather armour with blackened plate") and pin the result as a reference on a new character if the variant must stay stable.

A production-friendly order

Sheet first, at Clean, so everyone sees the same design. Then a square dialogue portrait, a pixel idle pose for the mock-up, and one piece of key art at Detailed. Pin the portrait as a reference so later renders keep the face. For an enemy roster, make each enemy as its own character and give each a one-line description that names its silhouette and colour; the characters page becomes your bestiary. Keep prompts short and name the camera; game art lives and dies on readable poses.

When you share renders with a team, download the sheet and the portrait at full size and keep the scene prompts next to them. The prompts are the fastest way for a teammate to reproduce a shot later, and they double as notes on what each render was meant to communicate: silhouette, palette, mood or scale.
