This is me trying to make the same character using a bunch of different character-makers
★ My FAVORITE bust-up character maker - @sushicore
Great for getting a general character idea down very quickly
✔ Lots of options for color in hair, brows, + skin
✔ Lots of options for hairstyles, marks/scars, accessories + clothes
✔ Some fantasy options like horns, different ears, scales, etc.
— Only a few things can be moved a little, nothing scaled / rotated
X No body type options
X Limited face shapes
X Limited eye, lips, + clothing/accessories colors
★ BEST Full-Body character maker - @extraA
