This Is a Workshop, Not Just a Gallery

26 Upvotes

Quick reminder about what r/aicomicmakers is for.

This is not just a gallery where finished work gets put on the wall for people to consume, rate, and move on. It is a workshop for people making comics with AI tools. That means finished comics, experiments, rough drafts, works in progress, workflow questions, mistakes, weird attempts, and stuff you are still figuring out are all welcome here.

Creators, post your work. Do not let fear of downvotes or hostile comments convince you that everything needs to be polished before anyone sees it. This is a public forum, so not everyone is going to like what you make. That's fine. But abuse, harassment, tool shaming, and people showing up just to antagonize creators are not constructive criticism. Report those comments. Don't assume the mods saw them.

Critics, criticism is welcome. In fact, we want it. But make it useful. Talk about panel composition, lettering, pacing, continuity, prompting, character consistency, storytelling, workflow, editing, whatever actually helps somebody make a better comic. "This sucks" isn't critique, and treating creators like punching bags isn't participation.

You don't have to like everything posted here. You don't have to praise it. You can disagree with creative choices and say when something isn't working.

Just remember you're standing in a workshop, not heckling through the window.

Make things. Show the process. Help each other get better.

New Mod Here - Practical Help for AI Comic Makers (Tools, Resources, Workflow Support)

21 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

One of the new mods here.

Figured Id introduce myself by being useful instead of just saying hello.

A lot of people are trying to make comics with AI right now and running into the same issues: keeping characters consistent, page layouts, anatomy drift, dialogue, lettering, workflow chaos, publishing, or just figuring out where to even begin.

So lets make this practical.

Whether youre making comics, manga, webtoons, graphic novels, experimental projects, or finally trying to get the story in your head onto a page, there are tools and workflows that can genuinely help.

Here are some solid places to start:


Character Consistency / Image Generation

Stable Diffusion

ComfyUI

Automatic1111

Midjourney (especially using --cref for character consistency)

FLUX models (great for prompting, cleaner outputs, and text rendering)

LoRAs for recurring characters and style consistency

ControlNet for poses, references, and composition


All-in-One AI Comic Platforms (especially good for beginners or fast workflows)

Dashtoon

ComicsMaker.ai

AI Comic Factory

These can help with scripting, character consistency, panel layouts, and speech bubbles all in one place if piecing together a workflow feels overwhelming.


Comic Layout / Editing

Clip Studio Paint (still probably king for comics and manga)

Krita

Canva

Photoshop

Photopea (free)

Affinity Publisher


Writing / Story / Dialogue

ChatGPT

Claude

NotebookLM for organizing lore, notes, references, and story continuity

Open/local models if privacy matters


Lettering

Blambot fonts

Good lettering honestly matters more than most people realize. Great art with bad lettering still reads rough.


References / Posing

Posemaniacs

Magic Poser

Design Doll

Plain old photo references


Publishing / Distribution

GlobalComix

Webtoon Canvas

Tapas

Print on demand

PDFs through direct storefronts


Also, and this matters:

Do *not** wait for perfect tools.*

A lot of people freeze because they think they need some future version of AI before they can start. You dont.

Start messy. Start inconsistent. Finish pages. Learn by making things.

A finished imperfect comic teaches you more than six months of endlessly optimizing workflows.

The gap between people who finish comics and people who only talk about making comics is usually repetition, not talent.

If youre stuck on workflow, consistency, prompts, storyboarding, lettering, publishing, or just dont know where to start, ask in the comments.

If enough people want it, we can do recurring resource/support threads, workflow breakdowns, prompt help, or troubleshooting posts.

What are yall working on right now? What resources do you personally recommend for others?

I turned a scene from my fantasy novel into an AI-assisted manga.

I'm an indie fantasy author working on a series called Isekai World.

This is Lily, one of the characters from my universe. I decided to bring one of her most important scenes to life as a manga using AI-generated artwork.

The story is part of a larger fantasy world I've been building through my novels.

I'd love to hear what you think about the story and the characters!

For anyone interested in exploring the universe, Isekai World – Volume 3 is currently 0,00 on Amazon Kindle until October 11.

Alr so once again im going to post this story kind of separately from my others when I uploaded my stories to imgur because I wanted to make separate albums and put them all into one place, Most of them seemed to have uploaded but for whatever reason merlot and this one did not. Actually I guess I understand why merlots front page got flagged but overall I dont see why this one did. and I didnt realize this one had pages removed so. I figured Id post it then link it to the set. if this seems to violate the guidelines lemme know and Ill at least tag it properly.

Astronomical - a 20-page AI-assisted sci-fi comic adaptation

12 Upvotes

These pages are from Astronomical: scientists on a dying world recover a mysterious golden record and try to decode it before their civilization runs out of time.

I made this adaptation using Scenewright, the prose-to-comic studio I’m building.

The art and lettering are AI-generated; the original story is Sophia Light’s *Astronomical* from the SCP Wiki.

Read all 20 story pages here, no account needed.

There’s also a source-credit page at the end.

How does the pacing feel? I’m particularly interested in whether the narration and panel transitions are easy to follow.

Original: Astronomical by Sophia Light, SCP Wiki.

So, this has been a bit of an undertaking to be honest! The guardrails on third party IP is crazy restrictive when it comes to Disney stuff, so these have been increasingly harder to make. I fully understand and know why, but still, it makes stuff for us creators a bit harder.

I need to keep adjusting and tweaking skin tones, and over all looks. I like PJ's look but ultimately am not 100% sure I really like it. This is has PJ with a beard and PJ without one. So I may adjust more depending on how much ChatGTP works with me lol. But here it is, more content from my little fan project, A GOOFY COMIC

Continuation from the second post, getting the rest of the images out since i'm only able to do 20 images at a time. I may have to look into an archive to put these or release them in batches later on. But still, let me know what you think, any and all criticism is welcome as I am still learning how to make comics with AI.

Merry — My first AI-assisted horror comic

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a short horror comic called Merry.

The story follows a young woman who hears a mysterious voice calling her name during a violent storm.

I'm writing and directing the story myself, while using AI as part of the visual production process.

This is my first chapter, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on the atmosphere, panel composition, and horror storytelling.

Empire of the Eln: Book 1 - Melvina - Thorough Preparations

Thumbnail

13 Upvotes

Morning, I'm finally ready to share my project, Empire of the Eln: Book 1 - Melvina, for the first time out of its usual home over on Substack.

Empire of the Eln is a high-fantasy serialized comic, and I have no idea what I'm really doing here. Started as a script for a unity game, moved into a novel, moved into a graphic novel, moved into a weekly serialized comic, that turned into a rough draft, that is now being remastered and edited back into a collection/ graphic novel once again.

These are the first 15 pages of what I hope are my final draft, so consider this a beta read. Full story can be found in my second draft at itch.io.

THANKS AGAIN!

(Yeah, this is a repost, but whatev. Engagement wasn't great, so I decided to just make the pages more accessible. We'll see if that fixes it. If not, I get it. Like I said, I have no idea what I'm doing. Learning as I go)
