AI Image Prompts for Character Design
Strong character art starts with a clear silhouette, palette, and art style. These prompts give you game-ready, mascot, and stylized character concepts you can iterate on.
Tips
- Define the art style ("stylized 3D", "cel-shaded", "painterly concept art").
- Lock silhouette + palette for consistency across generations.
- Add "full body", "character sheet", or "neutral pose" for usable references.
