There are tons of AI cartoonization tools out there, but don’t ever use the same workflow for avatars and brand work. Avatars are just for fun—pick any style you want, exaggerate facial features, slap on heavy filters, whatever. Users just want something entertaining and meme-worthy.
Brand images are a whole different beast—they need to be reproducible, come in a full set (emotes, merch, different poses), with a consistent and restrained style. You also have to think about scaling up for print without losing quality and making sure the copyright is licensable.
When I do cartoonization for brands, I always train a custom LoRA to lock down the style and character traits—never use those one-click filters. Mix them up, and you’ll eventually mess up on consistency.
