A great way to get unique, decent, and usable images for characters is to use image generator tools to make the images you need. AI art tools can often make a decent-looking image faster than you can draw them yourself they're great when you're not entirely sure what you want. You can also use your AI artwork as a reference for commissions when commission artists require image references.

There are two ways to make AI art:

1. Through a service
2. On your computer

The best service, as of this writing, is Midjourney, where you can get a plan for $10. You could also use Nightcafe which gives you some free credits if you visit every day, or DeviantArt's DreamUp.

Here's a list of AI Art sites.

You can also generate images on your own computer (or on Google's) by setting up an instance of Stable Diffusion.
