Frequently asked questions
Common questions about generating, tuning, and prompting character illustration photos.
How do I maintain character consistency across multiple prompt generations?
Lock in distinctive signature items: a specific hairstyle, exact color-coded outfit, unique accessory (like round brass glasses), and consistent art medium (e.g. 'clean cel-shaded digital art').
What prompts work best for brand mascots?
Keep forms rounded and silhouettes simplified. Use keywords like 'friendly corporate mascot', 'simplified vinyl toy aesthetic', and 'clean vector-inspired shading' with simple solid backgrounds.
How do I prompt chibi or stylized characters without distortion?
Specify proportions directly: 'chibi proportions, 2-heads tall, large expressive eyes, simplified hands and feet'. This guides the AI toward deliberate stylization rather than anatomical errors.
Can I generate characters on transparent or clean white backgrounds?
Yes. Add 'isolated on solid white background, studio character turnaround sheet, no background elements' to make background removal effortless.
