Are you staring at that blank page, wondering what to sketch? Are you seeking inspiration? Do you find yourself struggling with creating new ideas? Do you get frustrated at times coming up with fun actions and expressions for your characters? I am glad you are here, I made this for you. Character Design Shuffle has been created to unlock your Artist Block while inspiring you to create your own Intellectual Property characters for Animation, Comics, Children's books, etc.. What does it do ……………………………It simply gives you ideas. What does it do for you…………………It gives YOU lots of ideas to draw, improve your skills and share. Given several slot-machine style spinning wheels with different character traits on them, you choose which traits to draw from, and then hit the “Shuffle” button and we’ll randomly choose those traits for you. You can choose just a few simple traits, like what type of character, gender, outfit, and an action for that character. Or get as detailed as their age, body type, and even art style, in addition to several additional expressions to give your character more personality. You might get a Female Gopher in a Tarzan outfit tumbling, or a Tall Chubby Male crocodile, age 18-20, in a Santa outfit water skiing, drawn in a Primetime Animation style *and* additionally for the same character draw the expressions of “Overcome”, “Challenged” and “Proud”. We’ll also store the most recent 20 character sets, so you can look them back up if you get a bit spin happy and want to draw a character you’ve spun recently. In addition to the app, I have put together a ‘Character Design Shuffle’ Facebook group, so artists worldwide can share their character designs with other artists and get feedback. You can upload your own character designs from your computer, or you can use the app’s Upload feature to pick a photo of your character and which character spin it goes with and we’ll upload it for you. (The app will ask for your permission to post to Facebook, but know that we only use it for this upload feature that you control.) So get shuffling and unlock that creative block… Features: * Character traits can be locked or unlocked when you spin, so you can be given a very simple character, or a very detailed character to draw from. * Over 20 Quintillion (that's 18 zeroes) combinations when spinning all categories. * We’ll save the most recent 20 characters for you so you can look them up again later. * Question mark buttons next to each character trait will attempt to look up the word on the Internet to help if you’re not clear on its meaning. * Upload an image from your device’s photo library to the ‘Character Design Shuffle’ Facebook group once you’ve drawn a character you’ve spun. * Visit the ‘Character Design Shuffle’ Facebook group from the app. * Visit http://silvertoonsapps.com from the app to see other apps by Stephen Silver. ## Key features - Random character trait generation - Customizable trait combinations - Save recent character designs - Internet lookup for trait meanings - Upload character art to Facebook group - Access to community Facebook group ## Chart rankings - #194 in Top Paid · Productivity (US App Store) ## Recent user reviews (10 of 28) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/character-design-shuffle-by-silver/id623148420/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Awesome App!!! *2026-07-21* This is an awesome app if you are ever going through a drawing block. With so many different character detail options to toggle on/off it’s a pretty unlimited source of character prompts. I definitely recommend!!! ### 2/5 — Unnecessarily long time to open *2017-04-11, version 1.0* When you get to the actual character shuffle, it's great! But before that you have to wait for the app to open, then wait for it to open up facebook twice in your browser and app, confirm a thing, let the intro play, then you use the app. ### 4/5 — Needs fixing *2016-10-15* Great app but when I need a definition the app freezes. I can't use the app anymore because it keeps messing up my phone plz fix ### 4/5 — Save your brand's good name *2016-04-13* Facebook is unnecessary. I am a big fan of silvertoons everything but this app's forced Facebook connection is annoying and flips out my phone which wastes time. I left high stars because I trust the silvertoons brand and I assume you'll fix this to save the brand's name. Honestly I can't even imagine why it was built in to the design. It makes no sense and it ruins an otherwise decent app. But otherwise keep up the good work, people like me appreciate the resources and inspiration. ### 3/5 — Stops my music playing. Otherwise good. *2016-03-10, version 1.0* Like the title says, it's a good app but as soon as I open it, it stops my music playing. Bit annoying if you use the music to drown out any distractions from around you. ### 3/5 — Needs Fixing *2015-11-03, version 1.0* I agree, the app is great for coming up with new characters and unblocking the creativity of the artists' mind, but there's only a slight glitch to it. After first launching, after download, you can link the app to your FaceBook account, but after you close the app and then try to use it again - you're stuck in an endless loop of trying to link the app to your Facebook account. There is no end. Please fix this issue. ### 5/5 — Love this *2015-09-11* Wonderful app, great work! Can you add some monsters, and holiday themed options? ### 1/5 — Great idea with a HUGE flaw *2015-03-22* This was a great idea but unfortunately I was never able to use it. The app immediately stopped working after my first log in. After reading previous reviews, I've come to the conclusion that the app just needs an update to make it compatible with ios8 and above. Hopefully there's an update soon.. Would love to finally use this app for those days where my brain just needs a jump start ### 2/5 — This all was great but doesn't work with iOS8 very well *2015-01-12* Constant crashing and freezing on iOS 8. But used to really love this app. ### 3/5 — Pretty cool but... *2014-10-17* I like love the suggestions and all the options. It's very customizable. The log into Facebook function is so annoying. Sometimes it malfunctions and I have to reload the app. I wish it worked without having to log in. I also don't like the sound effects. Sometimes I want an idea of what to draw when it needs to be quiet. ## Frequently asked questions about Character Design Shuffle By Silver ### What does Character Design Shuffle do?
