well said. as a perpetually broke oc player, i used to think ai art was an acceptable answer a few years ago but have learned everything in this comment since and am now instead happily using PBs for all of my characters. because there are a zillion options that do not require money already out there.

just note your icons don't match your character exactly and use a good combo of image refs and descriptions of the differences and your rp will be even more immersive than with accurate icons because of using a multimedia approach etc.

Has ai art really already been around for a few years? How time flies

yeah i was probably the one of the first people to get posted about on here for it? not even as a player with a name, just someone on bs is using ai art and they suck for it. which i own, it's true. i probably still suck! but not for that reason!

also the trick to your "warps character voices" problem besides that, anon, that is a you problem because i have never heard of anyone having this issue before, is twofold:

you can use icons of actors in more than one role (i know some people hate this but i promise lots of people also do not care, if you're willing to use ai you can use a pb from more than one source) and

you can use icons of individuals whose actual media you have never seen and therefore you do not know who the character being played is and cannot accidentally play them instead, plus

you can use stock icons AND

you can even use more than one pb. it's not common anymore but once upon a time people did this frequently.
