How we check this lesson
An insurance agency wants one friendly face in every post, without a photo shoot or anyone's real likeness. In this free lesson you follow Priya Shah (made up) as she designs Penny, an illustrated advisor, as a character sheet in Higgsfield, then attaches the sheet as the reference to put her at a kitchen table, beside a dented car and at a renewal desk. All three are clearly Penny. Then the catch: an Apple logo on her laptop. 15.5 credits including an animated scene.

The business case: recognisable, not stock
Stock photos look like every other agency, and an illustrator charges for every new scene. A recognisable character makes a small brand memorable. These are example numbers.
Design the character once as a sheet, then reuse the sheet as the reference for each new scene, repeating the defining features in the prompt.
What happened in our run
The sheet cost 2 credits; each scene 2 more with the sheet attached; the animated renewal scene 7.5 on Kling 3.0. Silver bob, teal glasses and mustard blazer held in every scene. The renewal scene also had an Apple logo on the laptop: a real brand in your ad suggests a partnership you do not have, so regenerate with "no logos on any device" or crop it.
Higgsfield can also train a character on 5 to 20 photos of a real person. That is for your own face, with consent. For a mascot, an illustrated sheet is cheaper and borrows nobody's likeness.

All 11 steps of the interactive module, in order. In the module you watch each one, then do it yourself in a practice copy that checks your work.
1. A friendly face for every post
- Price a scene. Northgate wants one recognisable character across 12 posts this quarter. An illustrator charges $150 per new scene after the design. Click the each new scene row.
One character, twelve posts. An illustrator charges for every new scene.
- One sheet, any scene. Make the character once as a sheet, then attach the sheet as the reference for every new scene. Click the Higgsfield card.
Make the character once, then use it as the reference for every scene.

- Describe the character sheet. Click Image in the top bar. In the prompt bar pick Nano Banana Pro and set the ratio to 1:1.

Describe the features you want repeated. The hair, the glasses, the blazer. And ask for a full body and a face, on a plain background. Then generate.
Brand mascot character sheet for a small insurance agency: a friendly 3D-illustrated character named Penny, a cheerful round-faced woman advisor in her 40s with a short silver bob haircut, round teal glasses, a mustard-yellow blazer over a white shirt, holding a small clipboard. Soft Pixar-like stylized 3D look, clean light grey background, front view full body on the left and a three-quarter close-up of the face on the right. No text, no logos.
3. Put the same character in new scenes
- Use the sheet as the reference. The sheet cost 2 credits. Hover it and click Reference: the sheet now sits above the prompt, so every new scene starts from it.
Two credits. Hover the sheet, and click Reference.
- Name what stays, then the scene. Set the ratio to 4:5. Repeat the features in the prompt ("same silver bob, round teal glasses, mustard-yellow blazer"), then describe the new scene: the parking lot, the dented bumper, a calm thumbs up. Click Generate.
Repeat what stays the same. Then describe the new scene. Generate.
The same 3D-illustrated character Penny from the reference sheet (same silver bob, round teal glasses, mustard-yellow blazer, white shirt, same face and style) standing in a parking lot next to a small hatchback with a dented rear bumper, holding a smartphone and giving a calm reassuring thumbs up, daytime, same stylized 3D look. No text, no license plate numbers.
4. Check every scene
- Check what stayed the same. Same silver bob, same round teal glasses, same mustard blazer: clearly Penny. Check every new scene the same way, and look for anything the model added. In our first run the renewal desk came back with an Apple logo on her laptop. Click her face.
Same hair, same glasses, same blazer. Clearly Penny. And look for anything the model added. Our first run put an Apple logo on her laptop.
- Why not a trained character?. Higgsfield can also train a character from photos of a real person (Create character at higgsfield.ai/character). That is for your own face, with consent. For a brand mascot, an illustrated sheet is cheaper and borrows nobody else's likeness. To animate a scene, hover it and click Animate (Kling 3.0, 7.5 credits). Click Create character to see where it lives.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I keep a character consistent in Higgsfield?
- Make a character sheet (full body and face on a plain background), attach it as the image reference for every new scene, and repeat the defining features word for word in each prompt.
- Why did a logo appear in my AI image?
- Image models add real brand logos to laptops, phones and cars. Ask for "no logos on any device" and check every scene before posting.
- Should a brand mascot be illustrated or photoreal?
- Illustrated is safer: nobody mistakes it for a real advisor or customer and it borrows no one's face. A photoreal character that does not exist must be labeled every time.
