Real photo

Have an actual photo of Coey? Add it and we'll build their illustrated likeness from it — locked across every book in the collection. Optional.

Upload a photo, then a "Redraw from this photo" button appears here.

Family

Set parents and we'll draw this person with a real family resemblance — children visibly belong to their parents.

The source suggests Julius is the father — use it?
The source suggests Hattie is the mother — use it?
Children none linked yet — set Coey as Mother or Father on a child's page.

FamilySearch

What makes Coey

The locked visual details the illustrator matches on every page. Edits save here (the source of truth) and flow to every book Coey appears in.

The canonical likeness

The locked turnaround + reference the AI illustrator draws from on every page, in every book. Built from the traits — add a real photo above to anchor it to the actual person.

No likeness yet. Build it now so every illustration of Coey starts from the same canonical reference.
Reference description (sent with every page)

The central figure of the family history, born in a railroad crew car in Milford, Utah. He grows up along the rails with his family, serves in the Army as a marksman, and eventually builds a home and family of his own.

Life stages

The same Coey at every age they appear in the series. Draw a stage to age it from the canonical likeness, or pin a real photo to the stage it actually shows — even an old one — and the younger stages age down from it. Give each stage an outfit (clothes are era and station — a boy in England dresses nothing like a father in Utah) and every page at that age keeps it. Lock a stage once it's right so it's never redrawn. Each is generated once and reused across every book.

Build Coey's canonical likeness first (below) — the stages age from it. You can still pin a real photo to any stage now.
