The software offers a vast library of assets and customization options, allowing users to create a wide variety of unique character portraits.
The developer is highly responsive to user feedback and regularly updates the program, enhancing its features and fixing bugs.
It is user-friendly, making it accessible for those without artistic skills, and allows for commercial use of the created assets.

The user interface is cumbersome and can be difficult to navigate, which detracts from the overall experience.
There is no Workshop support for user-generated assets, limiting the ability to expand the asset library.
Some assets are of low quality, and there are limitations in layering options and customization, such as only being able to use one asset per layer.

The graphics are praised for their high quality and unique, hand-drawn art style, making the software a standout tool for character creation. While there are minor improvements suggested, such as resizing options, the overall visual appeal is considered excellent, especially given that it is developed by a single individual.

- “Aside from this, the software itself is fantastic; the artwork is beautifully hand drawn in the best quality you could hope for.”
- “While it has a few minor things that could be better, like the ability to resize all the items, it is a great start to a helpful and fun graphics tool.”
- “The graphics look outdated and lack the polish you'd expect from a modern game.”

The game experiences notable faults and glitches, but the developer is actively addressing these issues through a support thread for bug reports. While some users have found workarounds, the overall stability remains a concern due to weird artifact glitches and inadequate layering options.
- “It is not without its faults and glitches. I get around these by manually editing them, but there is an ongoing support thread for bug reports, which seems the developer is active upon. Hopefully, by the time you've read this review, repairs are done and everything works as well as can be!”
- “Weird artifact glitches combined with poor layering options.”
