Original characters
Character creator
Design an original character with chips or tags, see them in seconds, keep them consistent with a model of their own.
Character appearance
Already have a character? Import themA drawing of your own OC, or a picture from your gallery, becomes the character on the right: draw their reference sheet, train their model.
Your character will appear here
Describe their appearance, sign in, and generate; the picture comes back to this panel.
What is the Character creator
A way to design an original character without drawing: pick attributes, see them rendered in anime style, change them, render again. When the design is right, the Studio trains a model of them so they look the same in every picture you make afterwards.
A character in four steps
- 1
Describe them
Pick from the attribute chips or type booru tags with autocomplete: hair, eyes, outfit, expression, framing.
- 2
Generate
The studio opens with your tags in the box. Render one or four, on Illustrious or Anima, with any LoRA you like.
- 3
Refine
Change a tag, fix a detail with inpainting, upscale the keeper, save the prompt as a preset.
- 4
Make them stay
Train a character model in the Studio on your best pictures; from then on a trigger word brings them back.

Why design characters here
No drawing needed
Chips and tags do the describing; the model does the drawing. A full design in under a minute.
Every combination
Hair, eyes, body, outfit, accessory, framing: change one chip and render again until it is them.
Consistent afterwards
A trained character model keeps the same face and outfit across scenes, poses and lighting.
Group shots
Up to six characters in one picture, each with their own model and region, for casts and duos.
Yours to keep
Pictures and models stay in your account; the model is private unless you publish it.
Free to start
Free generations every day cover plain renders; coins only for the heavier tools and training.
Franchise generators
The Character creator set for a series: its cast as a dropdown, its style in the box.

Do I need to know booru tags?
No. The attribute chips write them for you; the autocomplete helps when you type. The Text mode of the studio takes plain words too.
How do I keep the same character across pictures?
Generate a few good pictures of them, then train a character model in the Studio with around twenty of them. Its trigger word brings the character back in any prompt.
Can I use a picture I drew as the reference?
Yes, as training material in the Studio: drawings work, photos of real people are refused. The generator itself works from tags.
Who owns the character?
You do. The model and the pictures are private unless you publish them on your page.
