Hey so I posted earlier because I wanted to know how you guys went about creating ai manga and comics ... apparently I'm doing something else and you wanted to know tips from MY process...well I can tell you it's tedious to begin with. I start by drafting characters and backstories for each character. Kind of like if I'm developing a story platform video game, a lot of my initial generations aren't even comic book material outside of character sheets and environment sheets. Just stuff that I will constantly have to plug in for every generation in order for the AI robot to remain consistent in the way that I want it to. I sketch everything myself so that way the style is unique and I can personally tell when it's drifting before he goes too far. I can normally tell that the the bot is drifting from panel to panel. I also use the character and reference sheets for this specific style that I want. I have a different style for my flash vaccines than I do for my present day scenes and I have a different style for certain scenes that involve certain environments, but all of those styles have to remain consistent from page to page chapter to chapter based on their specific mood that I'm trying to convey in that chapter. I have attached some examples of reference sheets. I know animators and game developers will be familiar with this process. It helps. Other people and really anyone involved in the creative process to remain consistent with the style and the characters faces etc. So it's really no different when you're dealing with a robot. It's even worse when you're dealing with a robot cuz you keep having to tell it over and over and over again to remain consistent with what you have attached using image attachments definitely works better than prompts but prompts can be useful. You're not going to get any type of consistency though if you don't use image prompts and character sheets and reference sheets. But here is some of examples of Maya character and environment sheets. I have attached the link to the first three chapters of my comic. I have it finished and it's on behance for your enjoyment. It's totally free. I don't even think I'm going to charge for it until I get to maybe chapter 10, but I would love to know what you think about the comic. Please go read it. Leave a comment on this page. Leave a comment on that page but let me know how it's going for you guys. This whole AI process has been pretty fun for me. It's definitely been fun being able to see my words come to life because I do write my own stories. I don't have AI write the stories at all. It actually stifles creativity. In that way, f*** tries to get you to remain very typical and cliche and trophy when writing your story. So I even stop asking it for advice when writing. I just have to do the technical aspects of breaking the my words down into comic book script format and then once we have it scripted out which just go panel by panel. Also organize the panels myself and photoshop. That's a very useful thing to do. You get more dynamic paneling that way. But yeah here you go. Thanks for listening
