How to Create Characters Based on an Existing Design (Komiko Tutorial)
1 min read
Have a character design you love and want to turn it into your own OC in Komiko? Whether it’s an illustration you’ve drawn, a favorite outfit, or just a specific aesthetic you want to recreate — Komiko makes it easy to generate characters that match your vision.
Here’s a quick tutorial on how to bring your design to life using Komiko’s OC Maker:
✨ Step-by-Step Guide
1. Upload Your Design as a Reference Image
Start by uploading the image of the character design you want to use. This will serve as the visual reference for your generated character.
2. Use a Prompt that Refers to the Image
In the prompt field, describe the character using a short and clear description. You can include traits like hairstyle, clothing, and mood — and simply refer to the uploaded image as the “reference image.”
Example prompt:
“1girl, orange hair, pink dress, looks like the reference image.”
3. Generate and Refine
Click Generate, and Komiko will create a character that closely matches the style and features of your reference. You can tweak the prompt and regenerate until you’re happy with the result.
🧡 Why This Is Useful
This method is perfect for:
- Turning sketches into polished OCs
- Reimagining existing designs in different styles
- Keeping character consistency across panels
Whether you’re a writer, artist, or creator, Komiko helps you bridge imagination and execution — faster.
Give it a try and bring your characters to life in your own style!
