I use this site to turn things into tokens - https://rolladvantage.com/tokenstamp/

It takes whatever image you plop into it, so at that point you can turn anything you want into a token. As far as what to make the images with, I’m not entirely sure, since the ask is kinda vague. What are you looking for in the tokens?

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

You might be able to use something like Heroforge to “build” your unique characters, and then make a token from the model. I do a similar thing when I come up with uniqueish monsters that I can’t find art for.

That or go on Deviant art and pay a child savant to draw for you.

If you don’t want a generated image, pick a “base” from itch or dtrpg or some patreon creator token pack, make a copy and apply the tentacles in GIMP. It doesn’t need to be photo-realistic, only needs to be recognizable and spark imagination

Symbols can work if you’re desperate. Like, just depict Malbad Von Sinister with a skull token. Sometimes it might work even better than a visual depiction if you want your PCs to imagine the guy instead
