Market Opportunity
Apps, games, websites, and marketing materials need character illustrations. Custom illustration costs $100–500 per character. AI-generated character packs with consistent style and multiple poses/expressions offer an affordable alternative for startups and indie developers.
The Idea
Create character illustration packs in consistent art styles. Packs: 'Flat Design Business Characters', 'Cute Mascot Style', 'Isometric Office People', 'Diverse Healthcare Workers', 'Fantasy Game NPCs'. Each pack: 10–20 characters with 3–5 poses/expressions each. Price $19–49.
Key to Success
- Consistency is EVERYTHING — all characters in a pack must look like they belong in the same world
- Include PNGs with transparent backgrounds — this is non-negotiable for professional use
- Create 'character customization guide' showing how to mix and match elements for unique characters
