How to Make Anime Boy Profile Hideout Art in Path of Exile

An anime boy in side profile with sharp, spiky hair. Profiles are a great test of line art: the jawline, nose and hair strands are all traced with dark decorations.

The original and the in-game version

Drag the slider to compare the original image with the version rebuilt from Path of Exile decorations. Every piece on the right is a real decoration at its real in-game size, position and rotation.

Why Anime Boy Profile works so well as hideout art

Anime art is built from clean outlines and flat colour areas, which is exactly what decorations reproduce best. Large hair shapes become solid fills and the line work becomes a dark outline of real decorations.

This Anime Boy Profile uses 735 decorations of 6 types, with Ancient Books doing most of the work. That fits inside Path of Exile's 750-decoration hideout limit, so the complete artwork imports in one go.

These are the exact decorations in this artwork, sorted by how many pieces each one contributes. The generator picks them by colour, texture and size, so large flat areas use big pieces and details use small ones.

How the colours were matched

Path of Exile decorations come in mostly earthy, stone and metal tones, so each colour in the Anime Boy Profile image is matched to the closest decoration family while keeping light and dark areas in the right order. Here is how each colour of the original was translated:

Anime Boy Profile in Path of Exile 2

The same image in Path of Exile 2 uses 713 decorations of 4 types (-22 compared with PoE 1). PoE 2 has its own decoration set, so the generator only uses pieces that exist in PoE 2, led by Excavated Brick.

Choose Path of Exile 2 in the generator and pick your PoE 2 hideout: the art is rebuilt from PoE 2 decorations automatically, with the same outline and colour matching.

Tips for the best Anime Boy Profile

• Faces carry the character: give them room with a larger art size so the eyes get enough pieces.
• Pick an image with a plain background so the generator keeps only the character.
• Bright pastel hair is matched to the closest decoration family, so slightly darker versions of the colour come through better.

Importing the .hideout file

Go to your hideout, open Edit Hideout, choose Import and select the downloaded file. Make sure you import into the same hideout type you chose on the website. Back up your current layout with Export first if you want to keep it.
