Describe a character in everyday language or begin with a reference image you have permission to use. Flova's chibi maker helps you shape the face, hair, outfit, expression, accessories, pose, colors, and setting through conversation. Chibi art uses a large expressive head, compact body, simplified features, and a clear silhouette, making the result readable as an avatar or sticker while leaving room for distinctive clothing, props, and moods. Start with a close-up avatar, full-body character, expression set, mascot concept, or scene illustration, then review each result and request one focused change at a time.
Create a ChibiA useful chibi maker should help you make recognizable creative decisions instead of applying the same face and outfit to every result. Define the character's identity first, then refine one layer at a time. Hair, clothing, expression, palette, props, and background should support the same idea.
For a new original character, describe the visible traits that matter: approximate age range, hair shape and color, eye color, outfit, expression, pose, accessory, and setting. Add the desired medium, such as soft 3D rendering, flat cel shading, clean line art, or painted storybook texture. For a personalized chibi, upload a clear portrait or full-body image and tell the chibi maker which details are essential and which may change.
Chibi proportions simplify anatomy, so a few details carry more identity than they would in a realistic portrait. Specify the fringe, curls, braids, hair volume, eye shape, eyebrows, freckles, glasses, and other recognizable traits. A profile avatar may need one confident expression, while a sticker set benefits from stronger emotional contrast. Keep the same essential face and hair description across versions so the emotion changes without redesigning the character.
Describe clothing by visible structure rather than broad labels alone. Include the garment type, silhouette, color, material, footwear, and one or two key accessories. Pick one dominant color, one supporting color, and a restrained accent, then repeat that palette across the outfit and props without making every object identical. This gives the character a more deliberate design and makes related versions easier to recognize.
Once the main design works, ask for front, three-quarter, side, and back views. Add a small expression row or a few pose studies if the character will appear in several images. Compare every view for drift in the face, colors, accessories, and body proportions. Keep the strongest approved image available as a reference and change only one design element at a time.
Flova's Image to Anime Converter supports broader anime transformations and original visual directions. The chibi maker is more specific: it centers on compact proportions, expressive faces, character sheets, avatars, and reusable identity details.
Once a chibi design is approved, Flova's AI Animation Generator can help develop storyboards and animated scenes. Reuse the same character image and core description, then add one action, setting, camera choice, and emotional beat per shot. Review continuity before assembling a longer sequence.

The strongest use cases begin with a clear format and audience. Choose the type of artwork before refining small details so the composition remains useful.
Create a close-up or half-body character with a simple background and a silhouette that remains clear in a small circular or square crop. Emphasize the face, hairstyle, expression, and one recognizable accessory. The chibi maker can turn a personal reference or original idea into a compact identity for a channel, gaming profile, community account, or group graphic.

Create a Chibi
Build a consistent set around emotional contrast. Keep the face, hair, outfit, and palette stable while changing the eyebrows, eyes, mouth, hands, pose, and small supporting symbols. Plan the full set before generating every image, then review the character side by side so one sticker does not quietly change the design.
Create a Chibi
Use the chibi character maker to explore a hero, companion, creature, mascot, or small cast. Give each character a different silhouette, palette, accessory, and emotional role. Create individual sheets before placing the cast together, then test relative height, color balance, eye lines, and spacing in one group scene.
Create a Chibi
Turn an authorized photo into a stylized keepsake, paired portrait, or pet character. Preserve the details that make the subject recognizable, such as hairstyle, glasses, clothing color, fur pattern, ear shape, or collar. For images involving another person, get permission before uploading or sharing their likeness.
Create a ChibiUse this four-stage workflow to move from an idea or photo to an approved character design.
Write one sentence describing who the character is and where the artwork will appear. Add the desired crop, pose, mood, and background. If you are using a photo, choose one with clear lighting and visible features, and only upload material you are authorized to use.
Give Flova Agent a compact visual brief covering proportions, face, hair, clothing, expression, palette, accessory, and background. Put the most important requirement first and use observable language instead of vague direction.
Check the face, hands, hair edges, clothing, props, background, and any marks that resemble accidental text. Keep the approved parts fixed and request one focused change so the next version has a clear revision target.
When the still design is approved, use it as the visual foundation for more poses, scenes, storyboards, or animation. Add action, camera movement, environment, and audio direction for each shot while reusing the same character reference.
Chibi characters are compact, so every large shape and small detail needs a clear role. Refine the design in focused passes, preserve the strongest approved version, and judge each image in the format where it will actually appear.
Large hair shapes, sleeves, capes, props, and hats can merge into the body. Ask for clear separation between the arms, torso, legs, and accessories. If the artwork is for an avatar, simplify anything that becomes visual noise at a small size.
Focus on line weight, shading, texture, palette, lighting, proportions, and mood. This gives the chibi maker concrete direction while supporting an original result. Avoid requesting a direct copy of a protected franchise, recognizable character, or living artist's style.
Approve the face, hair, main outfit, and proportions before changing poses or backgrounds. Save the strongest version as the reference. When testing alternatives, state which details must remain fixed and what single feature may change.
An image that works as a full illustration may fail as a profile picture or sticker. Test the crop, contrast, and facial readability in context. Leave useful space around the head and accessories, and avoid important details near interface overlays.
Bring a character idea or authorized reference image into Flova. Use the chibi maker to refine the proportions, face, hair, expression, outfit, accessories, and palette, then save the approved design or continue it into poses, storyboards, and animated scenes.
