So I have recently become real big on using Picrew to make human gijinka for my fave dragons, and so I thought I would make a thread to keep a list of links to my fav Picrews [b]Q&A Time Wait, what's a picrew?[/b] [quote]Picrew is a layered paper doll-style avatar maker website.[/quote] [i]Thanks, wikipedia![/i] Apparently these things were all the rage on tumblr? There was probably drama? Idk, I am an Old who missed out on that part of the internet so *shrug emoji* What's important is that the character building system is very intuitive to use (for me at least, but I'm sure there's guides out there if you need some explanation) and there's lots of really high quality ones made by all sorts of different artists. But even more importantly, it is very mobile friendly! I can use all of these on my phone no problem [b]Uh, alright, that's great for you but 1. Maybe you should get a computer and 2. why are you making this thread?[/b] 1. I have a computer, it is in my hand and I use it to make terrible autocorrect mistakes and 2. Because I do what I want. But really, a forum search showed picrew getting mentioned here and there on FR, but nowhere near as much as I would expect for a site that is so heavy on OCs and personal lore. There's so many picrew options out there, and I want a centralized place to keep track of the ones I like best with some little notes about each. Maybe other pixel dragon collectors will enjoy this list and be inspired to gijinka their own dragons I highly encourage everyone to share their own creations and favorite picrew links this thread, but if it's just me shouting into the void then that's okay too

What's important is that the character building system is very intuitive to use (for me at least, but I'm sure there's guides out there if you need some explanation) and there's lots of really high quality ones made by all sorts of different artists. But even more importantly, it is very mobile friendly! I can use all of these on my phone no problem

Uh, alright, that's great for you but 1. Maybe you should get a computer and 2. why are you making this thread?

1. I have a computer, it is in my hand and I use it to make terrible autocorrect mistakes and 2. Because I do what I want.

I highly encourage everyone to share their own creations and favorite picrew links this thread, but if it's just me shouting into the void then that's okay too

THE LIST
FOREVER IN PROGRESS
In No Particular Order

https://picrew.me/image_maker/420013 - Rawravera's icon maker
Front facing, bust. Any gender. Good range of human skin colors, lots of hair options, modern clothing, wheelchair option, lots of backgrounds

https://picrew.me/image_maker/582810 - BAYDEWS' fantasy icon maker v2
Front facing, bust. Any gender. Good range of human and non-human skin/hair colors, modern clothing options, variety of fantasy features (ears, horns, etc.)

https://picrew.me/image_maker/986365 - sacrxm's fantroll maker haha jk unless
1/2 facing, bust. Any gender. Greyscale. Different body sizes, non-human feature options. Probably designed for homestucks but I liked it because it makes it look like that one Gorillaz album cover

https://picrew.me/image_maker/114808 - ummmmandy's Girl Maker
Front facing, waist up. As the name implies, designed for female characters, NO non-human options. Excellent range of human skin tones and hair options. Good range of modern clothing, kind of a different art style with cool backgrounds options.

https://picrew.me/image_maker/17569 - Hobby Bare Maker
3/4 facing, bust. This one is much more anime in art style if you're into that type of thing. Any gender, lots of more stylized clothing options (like maid outfits and skyship captain looking coats and stuff like that). Lots of non-human horns and ears too.

https://picrew.me/image_maker/197705 - Soft Cat Goat
3/4 facing, bust. Very few skin tones, but lots of variety for hair and eyes. Any gender, no non-human options. Good variety of modern clothes and backgrounds. The tone of the color palette is clearly going for a certain vibe, which may or may not be your thing

https://picrew.me/image_maker/1312850 - Squid Game Picrew
Front facing, bust. Any gender. Full disclosurecI haven't seen this show but the art on the picrew is good. Extremely limited clothing options, but I guess that's part of the show? Se of the menu options are bugged to say "No Image" but if you click them they will still apply

https://picrew.me/image_maker/426722 - Grgikau character maker
Front facing, bust. Any gender. Very good range of human skin colors, lots of hair options, but clothing and backgrounds are limited. Ears are the only non-human options. Cool lineless art style, good for making characters that look like they are in high school except for the SUPER LUMBERJACKY facial hair options

https://picrew.me/image_maker/657302 - pixel dating sim maker
Front facing, bust. Any gender. Fun pixel style with customizable name section up to six characters. Excellent range of human skin tones and lots of non-human options (skin colors, ears, horns), modern clothing, nice backgrounds

https://picrew.me/image_maker/227881 - The Lady of Hera
Front facing, bust. Mostly feminine, Victorian style characters. Has a range of human skin tones, NO non-human options. Historical clothing.




NON HUMAN
https://picrew.me/image_maker/48225/ - Non-human Maker
Object-head type picrew. One of my favorites for designing 'incomprehensible celestial being' type characters. Limited options but enough variation to keep it interesting.

https://picrew.me/image_maker/678422 - Non-human Maker
Object-head picrew with a planetary theme. Limited options but still fun, some horoscope necklaces and tattoos to chose from if that's what you're into.

https://picrew.me/image_maker/1122876 - mellifics In Transit
Design your own bus stop! Has some nice surrealism options. Idk, it's cute and I like it.

https://picrew.me/image_maker/37515/ - Terrarium Maker
make a little terrarium!

https://picrew.me/image_maker/70293 - Sugar Box
customize an anthropomorphic cat playing at a claw machine! cute little picrew with options for the cat, clothing (surprisingly amount of cat clothing options imho) claw machine, and environment

Oh no, sorry for the confusion, I just meant I "made it in a picrew", I didn't draw the art assets. I have zero artistic talent

Love them!
