A system comprising:

• a memory with instructions stored thereon;
• and
• a processing device, coupled to the memory, the processing device configured to access the memory and execute the instructions, wherein the instructions cause the processing device to perform operations including:
• providing a user interface that includes:
• at least three endpoints, wherein each endpoint of the at least three endpoints is associated with a corresponding type of character, each character having one or more body parts;
• an input area;
• and
• a character preview area;
• receiving user input at a particular position within the input area;
• in response to receiving the user input, determining a size of a body part of a custom character based on the particular position, by interpolation between a respective size of the body part of the character at each of the at least three endpoints;
• and
• causing the custom character to be displayed in the character preview area.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, responsive to execution by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:

• providing a user interface that includes:
• at least three endpoints, wherein each endpoint of the at least three endpoints is associated with a corresponding type of character, each character having one or more body parts;
• an input area;
• and
• a character preview area;
• receiving user input at a particular position within the input area;
• in response to receiving the user input, determining a size of a body part of a custom character based on the particular position, by interpolation between a respective size of the body part of the character at each of the at least three endpoints;
• and
