# Create a South Park Character From Your Photo

Remember that South Park character creator from like 2005? The one where you'd spend 20 minutes adjusting eye shapes and it still looked nothing like you?

Yeah, we fixed that.

Why South Park Style Is Harder Than It Looks

South Park characters look simple. Construction paper cutouts, basic shapes, limited animation. How hard could it be to replicate?

Turns out: pretty hard.

The genius of South Park's style is in its constraints. Every character follows specific rules — the way heads are shaped, how eyes are positioned, the exact paper-cutout aesthetic. Break those rules and it immediately looks "off."

What Our AI Gets Right

The shape language — South Park heads aren't circles. They're these specific rounded rectangles. Our AI understands this.

The construction paper look — That slightly rough, cut-out appearance. Not smooth, not too rough. Just right.

The eyes — Those simple dots that somehow convey so much emotion. Position matters more than you'd think.

The color palette — South Park has a very specific range of colors. Bright but not neon. Saturated but not overwhelming.

Tips for Best Results

Face the camera — South Park characters are almost always shown from the front or side. Front works best.

Simple backgrounds — The AI handles busy backgrounds fine, but simpler photos give cleaner results.

Keep it clean — Hats, glasses, and accessories usually translate well. Face paint or heavy makeup can confuse things.

What You'll Actually Get

Your South Park character will look like they could walk right into an episode. Standing in that classic pose, maybe in front of a Colorado mountain backdrop, looking exactly like a resident of that quiet little mountain town.

Oh My God, They Drew You
