A free and AI-free way to generate character art

Some time ago, I googled something like non-AI character art generator, and came across DollDivine.

Well, DollDivine is basically a bunch of dress up games. However, the FAQ states that you are permitted to use any artistic outputs for both commercial* and non-commercial use. All you need to do is credit the game (see FAQ) which you used.

I am thinking that this could be a fairly simple and free way to generate character portraits and art for choicescript games. That said, the image resolution for one of the games was 928x1200, which may not be sufficient for standard HG art assets, unless you have the knowhow to expand the image and edit out the pixelation. Still, it could also be used for ingame character portraits.

It might be a little tacky to use a dress up game to create art… but nobody expects fantastic art in HG anyway. :sweat_smile: If it looks good, might as well right?

Concept art for Princess Bridget Alenia. :thinking:

*Note: Commercial use is only confirmed for DollDivine Classic, for other DollDivine games, any collaborating artist must grant permission as well.

Another place to look for where to make profiles for carapters is picew (well most are facial ones but still) they typically give perms unless selling the profiles so it should be fine I think? (site has note ads)

Edit no idea if the sizing is right

Seconding Picrew! It has tons of different options and artists include permissions on their dollmakers so you know what you can use the images for. It’s great for conceptualizing and visualizing character designs even if you’re planning to redraw or commission the portraits later
