awesome-genmedia AI Character Design
Generate game character concepts, turnaround sheets, and design art using each::sense — the intelligent AI agent that automatically selects the best model for your request.
Quick Start
Requires an each::labs API key. Get one at eachlabs.ai.
Using curl
curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
-d '{
"messages": [
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Design a fantasy RPG rogue character: a lithe elven woman with short silver hair and violet eyes, wearing dark leather armor with buckles and straps, a hooded cloak, twin daggers at her belt, and soft boots. Character concept art, full body front view, neutral A-pose, detailed clothing design, digital painting, dark moody background"
}
],
"stream": false
}'
Using Python (OpenAI SDK)
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(
api_key="YOUR_EACHLABS_API_KEY",
base_url="https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1"
)
response = client.chat.completions.create(
model="eachsense/beta",
messages=[{
"role": "user",
"content": "Design a fantasy RPG rogue character: a lithe elven woman with short silver hair and violet eyes, wearing dark leather armor with buckles and straps, a hooded cloak, twin daggers at her belt, and soft boots. Character concept art, full body front view, neutral A-pose, detailed clothing design, digital painting, dark moody background"
}]
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)
With Reference Image
Provide existing art as style or design reference:
curl -X POST https://eachsense-agent.core.eachlabs.run/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
-d '{
"messages": [
{
"role": "user",
"content": [
{"type": "text", "text": "Design a new character in the same art style as this reference. Create a male warrior version: heavy plate armor, greataxe, battle scars, braided red beard. Same visual style, line weight, and color approach as the reference image. Full body concept art."},
{"type": "image_url", "image_url": {"url": "https://example.com/existing-character-style.png"}}
]
}
],
"stream": false
}'
Images are sent inside messages using the OpenAI multimodal content format. Maximum 4 images per request.
Streaming
Set "stream": true for real-time SSE responses, or "stream": false for complete result in a single response. Streaming is useful for showing progress in UIs; non-streaming is simpler for scripts and automation.

Common Pitfalls
- Vague body types — "strong warrior" is ambiguous. Specify build, height, and proportions.
- Style inconsistency — use identical style keywords across all characters for a cohesive cast.
- Overcrowded turnaround sheets — four views maximum per image. More than that reduces quality.
- Hands and fingers are still challenging for AI. For detailed hand poses, plan for touch-up.
- Text on clothing/armor will not render reliably. Describe symbols or patterns instead of words.
