Ways to use a random character
Drawing practice
Roll a character and draw it in ten minutes. Lock the species and roll again to draw the same kind of creature in new outfits.
Your own OC
Keep the name and the quirk you like, then roll the look until it feels right. The backstory hook gives you a first scene.
Stories and games
Need a shopkeeper, a rival or a sidekick? Roll one per scene and copy it as text into your notes.
A mascot
Draw it in Masko Studio and it can move, talk and become stickers for your channel or your app.
Draw your character
Masko Studio draws it, then makes new poses, animates it or gives it a voice.
THE LITTLE DETAILS
A few questions.
What is an OC?
An original character: one you made up, not one from a show or a game. This generator gives you a starting point to make your own.
Can the character be a person?
Yes, a little cartoon person is one of the species. Characters here are always made up and drawn, never a real person.
Can I use these characters?
Yes, they are yours: for drawing practice, stories, games or a mascot.
Is anything sent anywhere?
No. Characters are rolled in your browser. Only Draw this character sends the look to Masko Studio, never the backstory.
