Token help?

I am going to be running a Star Wars game on Foundry in a few weeks, and I need 6 tokens for six different BBEGS that I am going to plop in front of my players all at once. Two of these are going to be very visually distinctive and impossible to create with any character profile generation tools I've found online.

How do you guys handle character tokens for unique-looking characters? I do not want to resort to ChatGPT if I have other options.

Obligatory reminder that you actually don't need token to play RPG :)

That said, I understand the appeal, especially on VTT where you can't keep eye contact with other players.

The first option are generic tokens, can be the default one from your VTT, or simple colour.

Then, while not ethically great, have a look at deviant art, Pinterest and other image sharing websites. You'll find many ressources some are even published on open source like licence.

Even someone as unskilled as I am can use, The Gimp to turn an image into a token, it's overkill, but I am not going to look for a dedicated specialised app
