Tips

Good to know

The default is the source prompt. Generate immediately for the exact ELIJAH illustration, then customize.

Actions carry their equipment and their kit. Pick “striking a hockey puck” and the jersey, bottoms, and skates switch to hockey with it — the soccer entries keep the Argentina defaults. Every kit piece stays editable afterwards.

The name renders in UPPERCASE and the jersey number appears on the kit exactly as typed. Leave the name empty to skip it entirely.

Credit cost — same as a standard generation.
