Animals for Character Concept Design

Mixing Traits Together

Making up a brand new character from scratch is incredibly difficult. If you rely purely on memory, your characters might all end up looking the same. If you want to make characters that truly stand out in a portfolio, you should try the visual mashup technique.

Using a random animal and object generator is a fantastic way to brainstorm concepts. Imagine generating a "Bear" and a "Backpack." You could design a hulking, strong character who serves as the quartermaster for their adventuring party. A specific random object generator gives you these highly specific combinations that you would likely never think of on your own.

Naming Your New Creations

Once you design the character, you have to name them. If you are struggling, the tool can seamlessly double as a random object name generator. Sometimes the generated prompt provides the perfect weird, quirky name for your character's sidekick, pet, or magical weapon.

For example, if the tool outputs "The Rusty Lantern," that could be the perfect name for your character's trusted tavern or airship.

Perfect for Art Challenges

Thousands of artists use generation tools for daily drawing challenges (like Inktober or Drawcember). Our digital tool is significantly more efficient than trying to spin a physical random object generator wheel.

Furthermore, because our tool functions as a random object generator with pictures, you are provided with instant reference material for both the animal and the item, meaning you can start sketching accurately right away without opening Pinterest.
