Design an AI character from scratch

A designer table with sketches of one invented character from several angles, pencils and colour swatches.

Head shape, face, hair, outfit and a signature gesture: how to design a character that is yours and stays recognisable.

Choose, do not describe

A character described in one long prompt comes back different every time, because every word is open to interpretation. dGEN Influencer works the other way round: you pick from 19 groups of settings, from head shape and skin to clothing, a detail people remember and a signature gesture, and the prompt is written from your choices.

Stuck on a blank sheet? Inspire me fills every group with a combination that holds together, which you then change until it is yours.

Portrait first, then the body from the portrait

The order matters. The portrait decides the face, and the full body is made from that portrait, not from the description again. That is what keeps the face the same between the two.

After those two, a quality check looks for the faults image models still make, such as a doubled eye, before you pay for the sheet.

The sheet is the reference for everything after

The last step is a character sheet: a turnaround, expressions and poses of the same person on one page. It is saved as a character with its own folder, and from there you make images and video with that face.

Portrait and full body together cost 372 credits, the sheet 600: 972 credits for a character, measured in the studio.

Invent a face, or use your own or one from someone who agreed to it. A recognisable person without permission is not a character, it is a problem.
