An alternative to commissioning your OC

Character commissions are worth what artists charge for them. They also cost around $50 for a full set and take days to weeks. This page is for the times when that is not the trade you want to make.

What a commission set usually includes

The standard listing artists post looks roughly like this, and it is the format this tool is measured against.

  • Two half-body views
  • One chibi or full body view
  • One item or prop
  • Name and basic character information
  • Colour palette
  • A plain background

What you get here instead

A written character profile detailed enough to hand to an artist or to an image generator: appearance rules, colour notes, personality, backstory and a reusable prompt. You can rewrite and regenerate it as many times as you like, which is the part a commission cannot offer at any price.

Where a commission is still the right choice

If you want a specific artist's hand, revisions negotiated with a person, or artwork with the provenance that matters for a public brand, commission it. This tool is for iteration speed and volume, not for replacing that.
