What makes it Fantasy

Painted, not rendered

Visible brush strokes and rich glazes, like oil and gouache on illustration board.

You, as an adventurer

Your clothes become fantasy gear in the same colours and motifs, and your face stays yours.

Dramatic light

A warm key light and a coloured rim light, with a hint of magic.

Jewel tones

Saturated colour and deep shadows, edge to edge.

How to make one

  1. Pick Fantasy. The button on this page opens minipic.me with Fantasy already chosen.
  2. Add a selfie or a sentence. One face in good light, looking at the camera, works best. Or describe anyone (or anything) in a few words.
  3. Keep it. Download PNG or WebP from 64 to 1024 pixels, with the background kept or cut out to transparent, or tweak it ("add a red scarf").

Great for

  • Tabletop RPG character portraits
  • Online campaigns and Discord game tables
  • Fantasy writing and book profiles
  • Guild and raid team avatars
  • Gifts for the friend who runs your game

Questions

Can I make my tabletop character?

Yes. Describe them in a sentence or two ("elf ranger with silver braids, a green cloak and a hawk feather in her hair") and draw them. Draw the whole party the same way for a matching set.

Can I use my photo?

Yes. It paints you as a fantasy adventurer while keeping your face, hair and key features.

Is it free?

Your first two avatars are free, no card needed. After that, your first pack is $5 for 12 avatars, then packs start at $9 for 20, and credits never expire.

Do you keep my photo?

A photo you add to draw once is used for that drawing and not kept. Photos you save in People are kept privately until you delete them or your account.
