How do I create a unique anime character?

Combine unexpected traits: mix genres (cyberpunk samurai), add unique features (heterochromia, unusual hair), and give them distinctive accessories that hint at a backstory.

What details should I include in character prompts?

Hair style and color, eye appearance, clothing details, accessories, expression, pose, background setting, and art style references.

Can AI create character turnaround sheets?

AI generates single-view illustrations. For character sheets, generate multiple images with different angle descriptions and compile them.

How do I keep a consistent character design?

Use detailed, consistent descriptions across prompts. Reference the same key features — hair color, eye color, signature outfit — in every generation.
