🎭 AD&D Character Portrait Generator V2.3

A clean and powerful workflow for generating stylized RPG character portraits in ComfyUI. Inspired by Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, this setup uses structured dropdowns to create characters based on Race, Class, Age, and more — perfect for fantasy art, campaign prep, or worldbuilding.

✅ What This Workflow Does

• Produces 1024x1024 close-up portraits using your selected SD or SDXL model
• Generates detailed prompt strings from character traits using the RPG-Characters custom node
• Offers dropdown-based configuration for Race, Ethnicity, Class, Age, Hair Style, Emotion, and Scene
• Includes optional likeness image support via FaceID/IPAdapter to influence facial features
• Automatically applies face restoration, boosting, and upscaling for high-quality results

🛠️ How to Use This Workflow

🧠 How to Install RPG-Characters Node

1. Open **ComfyUI Manager** (via sidebar or `custom_nodes` menu).
2. Navigate to the *Install Custom Nodes* tab.
3. Search for: `RPG-Characters`
4. Click **Install** – ZERO dependencies!!! (You're welcome. 😉)
5. Restart ComfyUI and you're ready to go.

🟨 Process Configuration 🟨

This workflow is designed to run **out-of-the-box**, but if you want to fine-tune things, here are the configurable parts grouped for convenience:

• 🟪 Load Checkpoint — Optimized for Proteus v0.3, but other models can work too.
• 🟪 Use Likeness? — Toggle this to base the character on your uploaded photo.
• 🟪 Use Likeness Booster? — Applies face boosting with ReActor.
• Download GPEN-BFR-512.onnx from here and place it in your ReActor folder.
• 🟪 Load Likeness Image — Upload the image to guide your character’s appearance.
• 🟪 Sampler + Scheduler — Default works well, but tweak based on your model.
• 🟪 Seed Generator — Switch between fixed and random seeds.
• 🟪 FaceCropper — Choose ONNX device (e.g., CUDA or CPU).
• 🟪 1x Skin Upscaler — Recommended: 1x-ITF-SkinDiffDetail-Lite-v1
• 🟪 4x Final Upscaler — Recommended: 4x_NMKD-SuperscaleV2_2k
• 🟪 IPAdapter FaceID — Select your preferred ONNX provider.

🟦 RPG Character Configuration 🟦

This is where the *magic* happens — powered by **custom RPG nodes** made specifically for immersive character creation.

• ⬜ RPG Art Style Selector — Choose your desired art style.
• ⬜ RPG Character Builder — Fill in race, class, age, emotion, etc.

🚀 That’s It!

Once you've tweaked your inputs (or left them at default), **just run the workflow** and enjoy your character portrait.

💡 Tips About This Workflow

• 🎨 Try different art styles for drastically different results (anime, realistic, Pixar, etc.)
• 🖼️ For likeness support, use a clear, forward-facing headshot
• 🛠️ CPU/DML-compatible: You can adjust devices in the exposed nodes if needed
• 🧩 Works out of the box — no complicated prompt engineering required
• 🧑🏻 Toggle “Use Likeness” off to create random characters without a base image.
• ⚠️ If ReActor crashes or fails to apply, double-check the ONNX model path and device settings.
• 🎨 Experiment with art styles for very different visual aesthetics with the same base data.
• 🏎️ The booster can dramatically improve likeness but may reduce stylistic fidelity — use selectively.
