K-POP CHARACTERS

We started researching on how our AI generated characters should look. We looked at many K-POP bands (such as Aespa, Blackpink, BTS etc) and their culture to draw inspiration. They’re known to have a glamorous and flamboyant sense of fashion and style. Many of them now have their own fashion labels. They are known to mix luxury with streetwear and wear styles inspired by different decades. 

We created a backstory about these characters on paper which became a starting point for us. For example: Lyla was created keeping her story in mind. She’s bold and fierce, big Beyonce fan, she’s a vocal diva, a cat mom, an animal lover and a powerhouse! Hence the dazzling metallic outfit. Similarly, for other characters we wanted to match the look to who they really are and much more. They had to look inspirational and stunning!

Valentine is an ultimate heartthrob. We had to ensure his character needed to bring that out. His look had to be effortless yet charming. He’s a style icon, we wanted him to look soft, enigmatic and mysterious. For Dawn, we wanted a slightly futuristic and adventurous look. She’s got the moves, we wanted to bring out the innocence of this character along with some sass!  Jjang, the rapper was created keeping rock meets cyberpunk vibe! We gave him oversized metallic jackets to keep up with his swag.  For every character, we had to ensure the prompts were thought through. We wanted them to be a part of the same world in spite of having such different personalities. They had to look modern, opulent and delicious.
