What belongs on an OC ref sheet
A useful ref sheet includes the details that should not change between drawings, stories, or roleplay sessions.
- Core silhouette and face details
- Hair, eyes, colors, markings, and scars
- Default outfit and optional accessories
- Personality notes and design rules
Use text before image generation
Start with clean reference notes, then use those notes to generate character art or to brief a human artist more clearly.
FAQ
Can I make a visual ref sheet?
You can create reference notes and generate character art from them, then reuse the same notes as a consistent reference brief.
Why start with text?
Text is easier to edit, copy, and reuse. It gives the image generator a clearer character brief and helps keep the OC consistent.
