Your cast
We pulled these characters out of your story. Approve the portraits or try another — we'll use the same face in every illustration. Add each person's birth year too, and we'll draw them at the right age on every page: little at the start of the journey, grown by the end.
Give each person a face. We drew a portrait for everyone in your story — we'll use the same face on every page. Approve the ones you like, or tap “Try another” for a different take, and add a birth year so we draw each person the right age. Nothing is painted yet and nothing is final — you can change any face later. When the cast looks right, continue to the scenes.
