Discord Character Design Survey Results (Patreon)

A few days ago, I asked you to help me create a new set of avatar images for MindWare's protagonist. You've cast your votes, and I now know exactly what my AI image generation prompt should look like.

Here are the results: 

• Ethnicity:

  • Caucasian (25)

  • South Asian (4)

  • Mixed/Other, East Asian, Middle Eastern (tie) (1 each)

• Age Range:

  • 18-25 (24)

  • 26-35 (6)

  • 36-45 (2)

• Body Type:

  • Average (11)

  • Athletic (11)

  • Slim (7)

• Hair Color:

  • Unnatural color (e.g., blue, green, pink) (7)

  • Black (7)

  • Brown (7)

  • Blonde (7)

• Hair Style:

  • Long and flowing (14)

  • Short and neat (11)

  • Asymmetrical (2)

• Eye Color:

  • Blue (12)

  • Cybernetic (e.g., glowing, multicolored) (10)

  • Green (5)

• Facial Hair:

  • Clean-shaven (25)

  • Stubble (6)

  • Goatee (2)

• Additional Features:

  • None (13)

  • Piercings (8)

  • Tattoos (7)

As you can see, there's one tie, and that's the hair color. To break it, I had to took into consideration whether the vote was cast by a supporter or a non-supporter. It was very close, but brown hair won by 1 vote.

Overall, the character design that emerged from this poll is almost identical with the character I would have gone with if I had designed it completely myself (I would have likely chosen to have the character have a small amount of stubble instead of being completely clean-shaved).

So now that I have all the information I need to generate the avatar images, it's time for me to get to work!
