Oekaki Maker

Oekaki Maker is a parameter-driven art generator that creates stylized character illustrations in the traditional oekaki aesthetic. Users provide prompts describing a character concept, select a visual style (e.g., chibi, kemono, or anime-inspired), and adjust canvas size, color palette, brush presets, and shading preferences. The tool prioritizes fast rendering and reproducibility, enabling artists to iterate rapidly without manual sketching.

Core logic blends rule-based rendering with seeded randomness to produce consistent results for a given seed. Required features include: prompt parsing, style mapping, color palette selection, brush stroke emulation, and export to PNG and SVG. Optional/advanced features permit symmetry, multiple layers, resolution scaling, and batch generation for concept stacks. Outputs include a raster PNG and optional vector outline (SVG) of the central figure.

Who benefits: hobbyists, students, and professional artists exploring concepts, character design, or fan art. Unique value lies in quick, repeatable stylization without training a full generative model. Use cases include character concept iterations, portfolio thumbnails, and social media sketches. The tool does not rely on external networks during generation, preserving user privacy and speed.

Core features and use cases: parameterized prompts, predefined art styles, palette control, brush presets, seed-based reproducibility, export formats, and a lightweight vector trace. The tool is designed for artists seeking a fast, repeatable workflow and for educators demonstrating procedural art concepts.
