# D&D Character Art Generator > A D&D character art generator paints a tabletop RPG character from a text description: you name the race, class, gear, pose and setting, and an image model draws the portrait. On Kenerate AI, GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst made a tiefling warlock, a dwarf cleric, an elf ranger, a dragonborn paladin and a five-hero party lineup on the first try each, and turned the tiefling into a round VTT token that kept her face. It's AI art for personal and fan use — D&D-style, not official Wizards of the Coast artwork.

We built every prompt on this page from the same parts, and you can swap any of them: - Race and age: “adult wood elf”, “adult dwarf”, “adult bronze dragonborn”. - Class and gear: warlock + pact tome, cleric + holy symbol and warhammer, ranger + longbow and hawk, paladin + sword and shield. - Look: hair, beard, skin or scale colour, eyes, armour colours, emblems. - Framing: chest-up for a sheet, full body for a standee, head and shoulders for a token. - Style and light: “painterly digital fantasy illustration”, candlelight, rim light, dawn mist. ### From portrait to VTT token Virtual tabletops like Roll20 and Foundry VTT show characters as small round tokens on the map. The quickest way to get one that matches your portrait is an edit: upload the portrait as a reference and ask for a circular frame on a plain background. Ours kept the face, horns, gold eyes, earrings and coat. Tokens read best at small sizes when the face fills most of the circle, so ask for head and shoulders, not the full body. ### What we got Six images, one try each, on GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst: - Tiefling warlock: horns, tail, gold eyes, eldritch flame and the pact tome on its chain all there. - Dwarf cleric: braided beard with bronze rings, sun emblem and a glowing holy symbol, as asked. - Wood elf ranger: side braid, longbow, quiver and the hawk on her shoulder. - Dragonborn paladin: every detail asked for, plus a castle in the background that wasn't in the prompt. - Party lineup: five distinct heroes; the half-orc's tusks barely show. - Token: the same tiefling, face intact, in a bronze ring. ## FAQ Q: How do I make D&D character art with AI? A: Open Kenerate's Image Studio, pick GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst and describe the character: race, class, gear, pose, framing and art style — for example “adult tiefling warlock with crimson skin, ram horns and gold eyes, holding a green eldritch flame, chest-up, painterly fantasy illustration”. Our tiefling, dwarf, elf and dragonborn each came out right on the first try. Q: Is there a free D&D character art generator? A: You can start free: a new Kenerate account gets starter credits on sign-up, and Qwen Image 3.0 is on the free plan. GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst, used on this page, costs 7.2 credits a portrait at 1K, paid from one-time credit packs that never expire. Downloads carry no watermark. Q: Can it make tokens for Roll20 or Foundry VTT? A: Yes. Add your portrait as a reference and ask for “a round virtual tabletop token, head and shoulders inside a circular frame, plain background”. Our tiefling token kept her face, horns and coat inside an ornate bronze ring. Kenerate gives you the image; you upload it to Roll20, Foundry or another VTT yourself, and you can cut out the background with a background remover if your VTT wants transparency. Q: Can I keep the same character across several pictures? A: Yes — re-use an image you like as a reference and describe only what changes, such as a new pose, scene or token frame. GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst kept our tiefling's face in the token edit. Nano Banana 2.1 is also built for keeping the same character across shots. Q: Which races and classes can I make? A: Any you can describe. We tested a tiefling warlock, dwarf cleric, wood elf ranger and dragonborn paladin, plus a party with a half-orc barbarian, human wizard, halfling bard and tiefling rogue. Name the features that make the race recognisable — horns and tail, a braided beard, pointed ears, scales — and the class gear. Q: Can I make my whole party in one image? A: Yes. List every hero with race, class and one or two props, and ask for a lineup. Our five-hero party came out with every character distinct; the half-orc's tusks were barely visible, so call out any must-have detail clearly or regenerate. Q: Is this official D&D art? A: No. It's AI-generated, D&D-style fan art made from your descriptions, not artwork from Wizards of the Coast. It's fine for your own character sheets, tokens and campaign handouts; if you plan to sell anything, check the rules for the game system and setting you use. Q: Is the art made by AI or a person? A: By AI. Every image on this page came from GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst on Kenerate, one try each, with the full prompt shown. If you need hand-drawn art for a commission or a publication that bans AI art, hire an illustrator. ## Related pages - AI character generator: https://kenerateai.com/ai-character-generator - AI fantasy map generator: https://kenerateai.com/ai-fantasy-map-generator - AI fantasy portrait generator: https://kenerateai.com/ai-fantasy-portrait-generator - AI dragon generator: https://kenerateai.com/ai-dragon-generator - Character turnaround AI: https://kenerateai.com/character-turnaround-ai - AI OC maker: https://kenerateai.com/oc-maker - AI character description generator: https://kenerateai.com/ai-character-description-generator - AI tarot card generator: https://kenerateai.com/ai-tarot-card-generator - AI image upscaler: https://kenerateai.com/ai-image-upscaler ## Sources - Kenerate Image Studio: https://kenerateai.com/app/image - D&D Basic Rules — Character species and classes (D&D Beyond): https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/free-rules
