Possible Logistical issues During Character Creation
;) :? Hey everybody!...
i'm working on a series of animated films about musical savants in rock-and-roll. Most of these films take place in the mid 1960s to early 1970s but there are two that take place in the early 1980s. Tried OpenArt and am presently using Perchance. Using Perchance right now only because all I have in terms of a computer is a Chromebook. Will be getting a Win 11 computer soon!... ;0
The nine main characters in this film are young rock-and-rollers in the early 1980s. So they are young men with long hair and tattoos. And in their case...the tattoos are in specific areas on the face {and before you start thinking "gangsta" or "former jail inmate" hang on!}. Some examples;
-
My main character uses the nickname "Blackbird" and has the image of a singing blackbird on the left cheek that covers the area that spans from the top cheekbone {ie the area just under the eye} to just above the chin bone. i'm creating several versions of most of the characters because they are dressed in different clothing each time including swimwear and sleepwear. Even though i specified the thing about the tattoo and where to put the tattoo in the prompt {which Perchance calls a "scratch pad" btw!}...and even though it starts out with the tattoo in the right place...the tattoo of the singing blackbird has been both moved to different areas on the body in some instances and then duplicated and places on both cheeks in others. And then another thing that has occurred is that occasionally the object that is supposed to be used as the tattoo {example; the singing blackbird} ended up on the front of his T shirt and was used as a graphic...

Another one of my main characters is a guy who uses the nickname 'Britt". He has a small tattoo of a heart on his left cheek and the name "BRiTT" in capital letters on his forearm. We're having the same problem there...
-
With some of the main characters...the system has occasionally been switching out facial types. When this happens...I have been forced to to "spin the wheel" and restart the process. Sometimes several times in a row...
Re the facial tattoos on "Blackbird" and "Britt" {and some of the other characters too! ;)}. i wanted to place "Blackbird's" singing blackbird tattoo and "Britt's" heart tattoo in areas that are exposed by default...
i'm assuming that issues #1 through #3 are actually Perchance's way of offering variety. Problem is that IRL you can't move a tattoo and that would show evidence of obvious error...
Attached to this post are what i'm referring to. These are both 'Blackbird":
Any ideas on this??... :? ;)
