Picrew List

What are picrews? Picrews are drawings of characters made by compiling different presents together to create a unique image. Many of the programs that make these images are hosted on the site Picrew, hence the name. These are useful for figuring out what a character looks like in a guided way by choosing from a set list of options, and are a good alternative to AI generated art. For best use, use a picrew for the base and edit afterwards in a digital art program.

This list is mostly for my own reference, but if anybody else finds them helpful, that's great too.
