Original characters, game characters, and mascots — see how these models compare with real AI-generated outputs.
Full comparisonCompare Models (select 4)
Designing original characters, game characters, and mascots demands more than a nice style—it requires consistency, readable typography on outfits/props, and enough detail to hold up in close-ups. Influencer Studio offers two strong options for character design workflows: Nano Banana Pro and Reve.
Below is a practical comparison focused on character-focused outputs (concept art, mascot illustrations, character posters, and promo key art), including strengths, trade-offs, and how pricing aligns with iteration-heavy design cycles.
Character Design — Side-by-Side Results
Prompt
"A candid phone-camera selfie of an original influencer character (early 20s, warm brown skin, big round glasses, asymmetrical bob with a teal streak, small star-shaped cheek mole) looking near the lens mid-laugh, holding an iced coffee; she wears an oversized cream hoodie, pleated tennis skirt, chunky sneakers, and a crossbody bag with pins—distinctive silhouette and costume details like a character concept. Shot in a real café by a window with soft natural daylight, slightly messy table (laptop stickers, earbuds, lip balm), authentic Instagram-story vibe (not cinematic), relaxed posture with one shoulder raised and coffee lifted. Include subtle “turnaround-ready” clarity in the design: readable shapes, accessories, and proportions, like a game character sheet but captured as a casual UGC post."

Nano Banana Pro Strengths
- Marketing-grade character key art with high polish for posters, app store visuals, and promo splash screens
- Industry-leading text rendering for character logos, jersey numbers, patches, signage, and prop labels
- Up to 4K output for crisp linework, costume textures, and zoomable details (useful for turnarounds and close crops)
- Multimodal understanding to better follow complex character briefs and reference-driven direction (e.g., outfit notes, silhouette, accessories)
- Good fit for production-ready mascot deliverables where readability and finish matter
Reve Strengths
- Strong aesthetic quality for stylized original characters and creative concept explorations
- Accurate text rendering for many character-design needs (simple logos, short labels, clean type on props)
- Fast, iteration-friendly option for exploring multiple character variants, outfits, and colorways at lower cost per image
- Well-suited to mood-forward character art where vibe and style exploration are the priority
Verdict
Nano Banana Pro is the better pick when character design needs to look production-ready—especially for mascot brand assets, game key art, or any scenario where readable typography and high-resolution detail are non-negotiable. Its 4K option is valuable for close-ups, texture detail, and final deliverables.
Reve is a strong choice for creative character exploration and style-first concepts, particularly when you want to generate many variations efficiently. If your workflow is heavy on iteration (silhouettes, outfits, expressions) before locking a final design, Reve’s per-image cost can be a practical advantage.
