Photo realistic characters representing differently abled people?
Hi Lisa and welcome to the community!
Thanks for letting us know you'd like to see more disability representation in our photographic character sets. We're regularly adding to this library, so community feedback is always helpful for letting us know what characters to add to our collection in the future.
In the meantime, though, Judy's suggestions are great sources for additional characters.
Also, if you're okay with using resources other than cut-out characters, here are some other free sources for images with positive disability representation:
- Disability:In - Disability Inclusive Stock Photography: This photo set features many of the same models across multiple images, so you could use these resources for character-based storytelling. The photos are released under a Creative Commons license, so be sure to check out the guidelines before using them in a project.
- Disabled And Here Collection: This collection features both photos and illustrations. It's also released under a Creative Commons license but with slightly different guidelines than the previous resource. So be sure to check their usage guidelines before using any of their images.
- Storyline: Customizable Characters With Disabilities: This free ELH community download is fully editable, so you can adjust the characters as needed.
We also have a number of free character image downloads that may work for your purposes. These character sets are all AI-generated. So you may need to consult your company's guidelines about AI-generated content before using these images.
