- This proportion style is unsuitable for realistic anatomy studies.
Questions about this template
- Can I keep an adult character’s identity?
- Carry over recognizable hair, colors and accessories, but expect proportions and facial detail to change.
- How do I use this starter?
- Open the preset, adapt the direction to your story, then create and refine a draft. This is a creation starter rather than a blank download.
- Will every requested detail appear?
- Directions guide generation. Check composition, repeated characters and lettering; revise any detail that does not read clearly.
