Are you trying to find a new profile pic?
Seen a bunch of them around and confused as to how everyone is really good at drawing/graphic design, or have just never thought about it and don't know where to start?
DON'T USE AI!
Generating one image through AI can use between 5 and 50 litres of water depending on complexity. (Edit: I would be remiss to not mention the impact that this has on artists too. AI models are trained on the stolen works of artists on the wider internet. If you're financially able, support your favourite artist by commissioning them to make you a profile pic!) So I wanted to offer some alternatives for those who may not know how else to create a cute, customised image to use as their fandom pfp. Thank you to my friends noxternal, neilistic, maidenrevenge and hwaetwegardena for sharing your links as well.
Here are SIXTEEN OPTIONS for cute profile pics that you can use instead.
NOTES
For consistency, I tried recreating my existing pfp except wearing a blue jumper, jeans, and socks. (Existing pfp made with #5). Where a blue jumper wasn't available, I used black.
Many of these have the option for plus size, male characters, a wide range of skin tones/black hairstyles, medical aids, and the option to cover hair/wear a hijab. Some don't. I've indicated one below that was great for diverse colours and styles, but I can't speak for what is 'good' because I don't know what will represent you. You may need to click through to check and see.
