Reve vs Seedream 4.5
Original characters, game characters, and mascots — see how these models compare with real AI-generated outputs.
Full comparisonCompare Models (select 4)
Designing original characters for games, mascots, and brand worlds demands more than “pretty pictures.” You need consistent silhouettes, readable costumes, clean linework, and the ability to iterate on poses, expressions, and accessories without losing the character’s identity.
On Influencer Studio, Reve and Seedream 4.5 both deliver high-quality character art, but they shine in different parts of the workflow. Reve emphasizes aesthetic polish and dependable text rendering, while Seedream 4.5 leans into flexibility—especially when you need to edit and refine an existing design.
Character Design — Side-by-Side Results
Prompt
"Casual phone-camera selfie of an original influencer character (mid-20s, warm brown skin with faint freckles, big round glasses, short curly bob with one teal streak, expressive brows) looking near the lens with a relaxed half-smile, one hand holding an iced matcha and the other adjusting a chunky scrunchie on her wrist. She’s in an everyday café window seat with natural morning light, wearing a cropped oatmeal hoodie, high-waisted black joggers with bold side stripes, and bright coral sneakers; include distinctive silhouette details like an oversized crossbody sling bag covered in enamel pins and a small star-shaped hair clip. Character-design feel with clear, turnaround-ready posture (slight hip pop, shoulders angled), readable costume layers and accessories, but still authentically “Instagram story” candid (minor motion blur, soft phone HDR, real background clutter like menus, laptop stickers, and street reflections)."
