Creating character art when you're not practiced at drawing?
Creating character art when you're not practiced at drawing?
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/7524114
I won't say I can't draw (anyone can put a pencil on paper), but I will say I have no practiced skills.
I've never done character art before, but I want to for this game. What alternative ways do you have to represent your character visually?
I've considered AI generators, but I don't want to spend money and time tuning the prompt to match what I want vs what the AI thinks I want.
I've also thought about a collage to represent different aspects of my character, then mashing some elements together with GIMP.

All of the players in my game either use:
- AI-generated character art. If you put in the time to tune the prompt (or just keep rerolling) you can get some really good results that way. It's harder for female characters because it always wants to add giant gazongas, but eventually you can get it to generate a normal looking character.
- MTG cards. There are a wealth of them out there with many different art styles and styles of fantasy.
- DeviantArt/Google Image search results
