My character art came out in modern clothes or the wrong style. What now?

Short answerCheck three things in order: the series year, the appearance note, and the render style on the brief. Fix the cause, then redraw the affected anchors and re-render the groups that show it; finished takes are not touched.

Find the cause first

Redrawing before you know why it went wrong just spends credits on the same mistake.

1. The year. Open the brief card at the top of the wizard and read Era / year. If it is missing or wrong, that is the cause; see why the year matters.
2. The appearance note. Open the character. If the note pins a garment ("leather jacket", "hoodie"), remove it; clothing comes from the year and the scene. See appearance notes.
3. The render style. The brief has a Render style of photoreal or comic. If a character looks drawn while the rest is photoreal, or the reverse, the sheet for the other style was used; the Line Producer can re-render the group with the right style.

Then redraw

• Character anchors and four-view sheets: ask the Line Producer to redraw them for the named character. Each image is billed as an art re-roll (5 cr); anchors first, then the four-view, because the four-view needs an anchor.
• Scene sheets and props with the wrong era are redrawn the same way at 8 cr per image.

Then re-render only what shows it

Rendered takes keep the look they were drawn with, so episodes that already look right are safe. On the episodes that show the problem, ask the Line Producer to re-render the specific groups, or use Fix with agent on the Review page with the Scene drift or Character missing chip. Do not re-render a whole episode for one costume.

Prevention for the next run

Set the year on the brief, keep wardrobe out of appearance notes, and read the first anchors on the generation board before rendering: a wrong-era anchor is a 5-credit fix there and a 100-credit fix after a segment has rendered.
