The big idea
Good characters need a look, a name, and a 'thing' that makes them special. AI can suggest options. You pick what feels right.
Some examples
- Describe the look first: 'Tall, purple hair, wears one yellow boot'
- Ask AI for ten name options — keep two you like
- Add a 'fatal flaw' (afraid of pigeons) — AI is great at silly flaws
- Make AI sketch them five different ways and choose your favorite
Try it!
Make a character with one weird power, one fear, and one favorite snack. Have AI draw them.
