Nvidia’s photo-realistic celebrities require a bit of graphical horsepower to generate, but if you head on over to MakeGirlsMoe you can easily generate your own character tailored to your own preferences including hair color and style, eye color, and other identifying features. If you lack any and all artistic talent, you’re now one step closer to realizing your own anime comic.
