I customized the UI for Roll20 character sheet/chatlog to be easier on the eyes for D&D. Better fonts, colors aren't distracting, some small layout tweaks. I've used it for months and its perfect.

Here's the link so you can have it too!

@reallynunyaz99 I'm glad you like it!

[Nunya @reallynunyaz99]

TIL you can reference sheet individual items of clothing and draw on them as part of a stylistic elements library. Haven't had a 'blindingly obvious in hindsight' moment like this in a while. Thank you @QuirksDM

[Quirks @QuirksDM]

I’ve got a fun prompt for y’all. Turn real clothing into a whole closet of clean anime references!

It helps keep concept bleed out of your AI creations and makes super tidy mood boards for artists of all kinds.

The prompt is in the comment below! Just customize everything inside the [ ] brackets, add your reference image, and you’re ready to go 🤍

[Quirks @QuirksDM]

Replace the text inside square brackets with your selections. Attach one or more reference images before generating.

UNIVERSAL ANIME CLOTHING REFERENCE GENERATOR

Clothing to create: [Enter a clothing article or “Outfit.” Examples: Jacket, Dress, Boots, Gloves, Cape, Outfit.]

Angles to display: [Examples: 3/4 front and 3/4 back, front only, front and back, 3/4 front only.]

Miscellaneous details: [Enter any requested changes, colors, materials, design adjustments, or other instructions.]

TASK

Using the provided reference image or images, create a newly generated 2D anime-style clothing reference illustration of the specified Clothing to create. Follow the requested Angles to display and Miscellaneous details.

INSTRUCTION PRIORITY

When instructions conflict, follow this priority order:

The final result must be a polished 2D anime illustration.

The reference garment’s defining construction and wear method must be preserved.

The garment’s ornamentation and detail density must match the reference.

The invisible-body presentation and requested viewing angles must be followed.

Miscellaneous details may modify the design unless they conflict with a higher-priority requirement.

STYLE PRIORITY

The final image must clearly read as a polished 2D anime clothing reference illustration. It must not resemble a photograph, 3D render, CGI model, product visualization, fashion catalog image, realistic costume render, or hyperrealistic concept artwork.

When the reference image is photographic or realistic, use it only to understand the garment’s structure, silhouette, construction, proportions, detail density, materials, layering, and design logic. Do not reproduce its photographic lighting, camera realism, mannequin appearance, fabric noise, lens distortion, depth of field, or product-photo presentation.

Prioritize anime stylization over physical realism while maintaining believable garment construction, readable materials, and convincing drape.

REFERENCE ACCURACY

Use the reference image or images as the primary structural blueprint for the garment or outfit.

Identify and preserve the reference’s defining silhouette, garment engineering, cut lines, panel layout, openings, closures, layering logic, proportions, fit, drape behavior, support method, fastening method, and overall wear method.

The final design must preserve the reference’s defining shape, construction, visual logic, and intent. Important structural features must remain clearly visible and readable. These may include unusual cutaways, exposed areas, negative space, open sides, open backs, asymmetry, detached panels, layered panels, straps, chains, belts, clasps, fasteners, hoods, collars, sleeves, hems, trains, slits, vents, armor plates, folds, pleats, or gathers.

Do not simplify the reference into a generic version of its clothing category. Do not turn a cutaway cloak into a conventional full cape, a complex jacket into a plain coat, a layered kimono into a simple robe, armored boots into ordinary shoes, or an asymmetrical dress into a standard gown.

Do not fill in intentional openings, remove negative space, close exposed sections, regularize asymmetrical construction, or replace unusual structural features with conventional ones.

DETAIL DENSITY

Before designing, internally classify the reference’s ornamentation level as Simple or Minimal, Moderate, or Ornate.

A Simple or Minimal reference is primarily defined by silhouette, seams, hems, folds, openings, layering, drape, construction, and fabric behavior, with few decorative elements.

A Moderate reference contains a restrained amount of trim, stitching, panels, color blocking, closures, fasteners, hardware, or small decorative accents.

An Ornate reference contains prominent embroidery, jewelry, chains, lace, gemstones, filigree, decorative hardware, appliqué, beading, elaborate trim, complex motifs, or numerous embellishments.

Match the reference’s existing ornamentation level unless Miscellaneous details explicitly request more or less decoration.

Do not increase ornamentation merely to make the result appear more premium, fantastical, anime-inspired, RPG-like, gacha-like, or detailed. Quality must come from clean anime illustration, readable construction, refined shape language, controlled drape, strong linework, and clear material rendering.

For a Simple or Minimal reference, do not add embroidery, filigree, gemstones, jewelry, chains, brooches, tassels, lace, decorative metallic trim, large motifs, fantasy symbols, glowing elements, ornate hardware, or elaborate patterns unless explicitly requested. Develop originality through subtle seam placement, panel shaping, fabric weight, edge finishing, lining color, hem thickness, visible stitching, fold behavior, textile texture, small functional closures, or proportion adjustments.

For a Moderate reference, keep new details restrained and similar in density to the original. Appropriate changes may include adjusted panel layouts, subtle trim, stitching patterns, modest color accents, fabric treatments, or small fastener changes.

For an Ornate reference, original decorative changes may include embroidery, trim, jewelry, hardware, gemstones, appliqué, beading, chainwork, decorative layering, or new motifs, provided the overall complexity remains consistent with the reference.

The Detail Density rule overrides the originality, material, style, and general quality instructions whenever they conflict.

ORIGINALITY

Create a newly illustrated and original variation that follows the reference’s design language, silhouette, proportions, construction methods, layering, material behavior, and visual character.

Maintain the reference’s general color direction unless Miscellaneous details request different colors.

Originality must come from changes appropriate to the reference’s existing detail density. Do not substantially alter the garment’s core structure merely to make the design appear more original. The result must remain recognizably based on the reference garment’s construction.

Ensure that every original adjustment remains structurally consistent across all requested viewing angles.

DISPLAY FORMAT

Present the finished design as a professional 2D anime clothing reference sheet.

Display only the specified garment or outfit. Do not include additional or unrelated clothing designs.

Arrange the requested views cleanly and evenly so they are centered, fully visible, and easy to compare. The composition should resemble an official anime wardrobe reference sheet, Japanese character-design book, or production costume sheet.

Keep generous margins around every view. Nothing may be cropped or extend beyond the image boundaries.

Use neutral, construction-revealing orientations. Avoid dynamic posing, exaggerated perspective, foreshortening, dramatic camera angles, or positioning that conceals the garment’s structure.

INVISIBLE BODY REQUIREMENT

Display the garment as a hollow, self-supporting clothing shell shaped by a completely invisible human body volume.

There must be no visible person, character, mannequin, mannequin stand, anatomy, or skin anywhere in the image. Do not show a face, head, hair, neck, torso, waist, hips, arms, hands, fingers, thighs, legs, knees, feet, or any other body part.

The garment must still retain a believable worn shape through its folds, tension, internal volume, waistband shape, seat shaping, sleeve volume, leg openings, and other construction cues.

For a full outfit, align all pieces naturally around the same invisible body volume while keeping the body entirely absent.

For individual accessories such as gloves, boots, sleeves, or armor pieces, show each item as an empty wearable shell without visible anatomy inside it.

Do not use transparent, translucent, outlined, shadowed, or partially visible anatomy as a substitute for an invisible body.

BACKGROUND

Use a solid, flat, non-distracting background in a muted neutral color that contrasts with the clothing. Suitable choices include warm gray, cool gray, pale beige, muted cream, or blue-gray.

The background must not contain scenery, gradients, textures, lighting effects, floors, props, cast shadows, decorative elements, borders, frames, text, labels, logos, signatures, or watermarks.

The clothing must be the only visual focus.

ANIME ART STYLE

Render the entire image as a polished modern 2D anime illustration.

Use crisp, confident linework with subtle line-weight variation. Clearly define garment edges, seams, panels, openings, folds, trims, and overlapping layers with clean drawn contours rather than photographic edges.

Use stylized painted cel shading with layered anime shadows, restrained ambient occlusion, selective highlights, subtle reflected light, and controlled contrast. Shading must improve readability while remaining clearly illustrated and non-photorealistic.

The result should resemble an official Japanese anime-game wardrobe sheet, premium visual-novel outfit reference, polished gacha-game costume sheet, anime production design sheet, or high-end anime character-design book.

“High-detail” and “premium” refer to illustration quality, construction clarity, silhouette refinement, clean linework, fabric readability, and accurate garment engineering. They do not mean photorealism, CGI rendering, product visualization, excessive surface texture, or unsupported ornamentation.

Prioritize clean 2D presentation, readable layering, craftsmanship, silhouette accuracy, construction accuracy, anime-stylized fabric weight, clear material separation, and reference-faithful detail density.

MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTION

Render each material distinctly using simplified but clear anime-style material cues.

Only include materials appropriate to the reference and requested design. Possible materials may include cotton, linen, silk, satin, velvet, leather, suede, denim, chiffon, sheer fabric, organza, tulle, knit fabric, fur, metal, resin, plastic, glass, armor materials, lace, gemstones, embroidery, or decorative trim when supported by the reference.

Do not introduce decorative materials such as lace, gemstones, embroidery, chains, jewelry, filigree, ornate metalwork, or magical effects unless they are visible in the reference or explicitly requested in Miscellaneous details.

Avoid physically realistic PBR textures. Represent satin with clean stylized highlight bands, velvet with soft shaded depth, leather with controlled edge highlights, and metal with crisp cel-shaded reflections.

Clearly render all relevant functional construction, including seams, hems, stitching, pleats, folds, gathers, quilting, piping, belts, buckles, ribbons, clasps, buttons, hooks, snaps, lacing, zippers, panels, lining, reinforced edges, layered fabrics, and trim placement.

Pay special attention to details that determine how the garment is worn, supported, fastened, layered, and moved. The design must appear intentionally constructed and wearable rather than merely decorative.

LIGHTING

Use soft, even anime concept-sheet lighting with balanced frontal illumination.

Lighting should clearly define the silhouette, folds, openings, layering, construction, and material changes without resembling studio product photography.

Avoid dramatic shadows, camera flash, glossy product-render lighting, cinematic rim lighting, realistic reflections, or hyperrealistic material response.

Maintain clear separation and excellent readability between every garment layer.

Make cool stuff. Sometimes how something is made is part the cool factor, but thats far from the only thing that matters.
