Sample Prompts You Can Modify and Use
“Generate a romance novel character design of a quiet librarian with soft wavy chestnut hair, warm expressive eyes, and cozy oversized clothing. They are holding a stack of handwritten letters tied with a ribbon, with a gentle, emotional, introspective mood.”
“Design a thriller book character design of a tired detective with sharp eyes, subtle facial scars, and a long dark trench coat slightly worn from years of fieldwork. They hold a case file filled with redacted pages, standing under dim streetlight shadows with a tense, cinematic mood.”
“Generate a manga-style comic character design of a rebellious teenager with messy spiky hair, expressive eyes, and a street-style jacket covered in patches and sketches. They are mid-action pose holding an energy weapon with dynamic motion lines and bold contrast lighting.”
“Create a fantasy book character designed for a novel cover and hero reveal poster. The character is a young spellblade with storm-silver hair, glowing rune marks along their arms, and layered armor that blends fabric and metal. Their fractured floating sword is held together by faint lightning energy.”
How To Generate Book Characters Using AI
Step 1
Write a Prompt in Venngage’s Book Character Generator
Mention book type (fantasy, thriller, mystery, middle grade, picture book, manga), then add the role (protagonist, antagonist, mentor, love interest) and other details. Also, include an art style if you want a specific look.
Step 2
Generate and edit your book character
Customize book character directly in Venngage’s editor. Add prompts to regenerate variations, or adjust details such as outfits, facial features, expressions, colors, and style until it matches your vision.
Step 3
Export your book character design
Download your final character as a print-ready PDF for book covers and interior pages, or export as a high-resolution PNG for BookTok posts, Wattpad banners, author websites, and social media promotion. You can also share a private Venngage link with editors, co-authors, or beta readers for review.
