Hotpot Pro Tips
🧙♀️ Define a prompt schema: role/class → silhouette → costume pieces → color palette → art style (e.g., “rogue, hooded, leather bracers, indigo/bronze, anime inking”).
🧙♀️ Generate front/side/back views; place on a neutral background for a quick character sheet.
🧙♀️ Use Background Remover first, then compose on a turntable or scene; Upscale last for clean edges.
🧙♀️ Keep a style kit (palette swatches, brush/ink notes); reuse wording to maintain consistency across characters.
🧙♀️ For variants, change one variable at a time (weapon or armor or palette) to compare cleanly.
🧙♀️ Build expression sets (neutral, angry, happy, hurt) for dialogue portraits; export at UI target size.
🧙♀️ Name files with a schema: game_char-role_variant_pose_v03; keep metadata in a simple CSV.
🧙♀️ Use AI Sparkwriter with a tight brief: setting → goal → conflict → reward; cap outputs to 100–150 words per beat.
