AI OC generator

AI OC Generator for Original Character Designs

Describe an archetype, a setting and a palette, and get a full-body character on a plain backdrop. The aim is a character that looks like it came from somewhere: consistent materials, wear in the places gear actually wears, and a silhouette you could recognise blacked out.

8 credits
Full body, plain backdrop, and gear that shows its wear

  • Heavy silhouette, cool palette
  • Props that tell a story

How it works

Design a Character in Three Steps

  1. Step 1

    Name an archetype and a world

    Start with what the character does, then what that job would put on their body. Gear that follows from a role is what makes a design feel designed rather than assembled.

  2. Step 2

    Generate the design

    YouArt returns one 1K square full-body design for 8 credits, cel-shaded on a plain backdrop so the silhouette stays readable.

  3. Step 3

    Squint at it, then download

    Blur your eyes or shrink the image until it is a shape. If you cannot tell the character apart from any other at that size, the silhouette needs work before the details do.

What the generator controls

What Makes a Character Design Hold Together

A silhouette you would recognise

Shape first, detail second. The instruction asks for a strong readable outline, because that is what a character is remembered by and what survives being drawn small.

Gear that belongs to one world

Consistent materials, believable wear, and details that serve a purpose. The failure mode this guards against is a character wearing a pile of unrelated accessories.

Original, not a franchise character

The instruction refuses to reproduce an existing franchise's character, costume, emblem or signature colour-and-symbol combination. What you get is yours.

Prompt ideas

Character Prompts That Start From a Role

Name the role, the setting and two or three colours. Let the gear follow from the job rather than listing accessories.

Start from the job

A sky courier in a fitted slate-blue flight coat with a brass-buckled harness and a folded mechanical wing rig on the back, a satchel of sealed letters at the hip, windburnt cheeks.

Start from the setting

A forest herbalist in a moss-green layered robe with rolled sleeves, a bandolier of small glass vials, dried herbs at the belt, and soil under the fingernails.

Start from the palette

A street racer in a cropped magenta and black riding jacket with scuffed elbow armour, taped gloves, worn boots, and one lime accent stripe.

Ways to use it

Roleplay, Comics, Games, and Reference Sheets

Tabletop and online roleplay

Give a character a face before the first session. Useful for a party sheet, a forum profile or a campaign wiki.

Comics and fiction

Work up a cast before drawing a page, and check that your characters read differently from each other at a glance.

Game concept art

Early-stage concepts for a jam or a pitch deck, where you need a coherent cast quickly and will redraw later.

Reference for your own drawing

Use the design as a starting point to draw from, adjusting proportions and details as you go rather than tracing it.

Frequently asked questions

AI OC Generator FAQ

What does the AI OC generator create?
One original character design as a 1K square image: a full-body figure in a three-quarter standing pose on a plain backdrop, cel-shaded, with costume and gear designed to match.
How should I write a character prompt?
Say what the character does before you say what they wear. A role generates gear that hangs together; a list of accessories does not. Then name two or three colours and stop.
Can I base a character on a photo?
Yes. Attach a reference and the generator redraws it as a designed character rather than filtering the photograph, keeping recognizable traits while rebuilding the outfit.
Can I use the character commercially?
The design is yours to use, subject to YouArt's terms. The instruction explicitly refuses to reproduce existing franchise characters, costumes and emblems, which is what keeps the output original in the first place.
How many credits does one character cost?
Each run costs 8 credits and returns one 1K square image. Membership credits work the same way here as anywhere else on YouArt.
