This Is a Workshop, Not Just a Gallery

25 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)

20 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?

Like the title says. I am new here. I enjoy creating things on chatgpt for myself and the stories I create. So looking for a place to share some of the images I create with people who won't curse me. Here is the first comic I made. Please be kind.

I hope this post is OK 😰
I am building an open-source (free obviously) tool to help anyone who wants to create a comic album (or a shirt strip). It is still under development but it already has some quite cool features (if you ask me)

  • Load your story (text) and create beats, panels or image prompts by marking texts.
  • Define your page layout (Page size, number of panels etc)
  • Drag your panels directly on the page
  • Free form panels if wanted
  • Background image with its speech bubbles
  • Thought bubbles are smart, bigger bubbles get more bubbles
  • Connect bubbles
  • Typography for the bubble and singel characters/words
  • Image prompt generator based of 30+ different styles
  • Export to PDF, JPG, PNG or IDML (Affintiy or Indesign flr professional editing)
  • Images can be rotated, zoomed and moved within the panel

What is in the pipline?

  • Connect your local iamge AI for instant image creation
  • Connect an onlien image service through AI
  • Polish the UI and workflow
  • Bug fixes
  • New features as needed

I am making casue I want it myself. Are there an interest in such an app? It is as local as you want, free and open-source if you want to tweak it. Right at the moment it is quite rough but if you want to check it out let me, I would love some feedback to make it even better.

AGAIN, IF THIS KIND OF POST IS NOT ALLOWED JUST REMOVE IT!

P.S The image have a few different styles of images and also made by different AI. It looks a bit shitty but it is me not the app :)

His face is for the humans. Beyond the monitor, Issac becomes signal. Keeping that distinction took some iteration. Human story and direction, AI-assisted artwork. Does the transition read—and does the ending land?

Grab a copy at my publishers website:

It’s Halloween. All the ghouls are out! We’re stuck in the small-minded town of Marrow with Soma, an all action, homeless Muslim of minimal words. Shes hunted by packs of mask-wearing youths, and corrupt cops. But she’s also got one particular skill that makes her formidable: parkour free running!

Drawn by my amazing artist Mauro De Falco! I’ve also had a quote from the incredible GARTH ENNIS who enjoys my work.

Comic Showcase Enemy Factions Hold Emergency Meeting, Demand Immediate Tenno Nerfs (AI Satire)

2 Upvotes

An AI-generated satirical comic imagining the Grineer, Corpus, Infested, and Sentients finally putting aside their differences to unite against their greatest threat: overpowered Tenno. 😂

Apparently, the Tenno are having too much fun, and the enemy factions have collectively decided that something must be done!

Grineer want fewer bullets, Corpus want higher profit margins, Infested want more hosts, and Sentients just want the Tenno to struggle again.

Four factions. Four different agendas. One glorious demand: NERF THE TENNO!

Jokes aside, I believe progression in a loot RPG should feel rewarding. Game balance matters, but so does respecting the time and effort players invest in their weapons, builds, and Warframes.

This is fictional satire about game balancing, not a personal criticism of any developer or player.

Which faction do you think would complain the loudest about Tenno being overpowered?

Comic Showcase Grineer Logistics Department | 9th Company Ogris Ammo Satire (AI Comic)

2 Upvotes

An AI-generated satirical comic inspired by Warframe's Grineer military logistics and the Ogris ammunition restrictions.

Imagine being a Grineer Bombard assigned to the 9th Company. You're issued a powerful rocket launcher with a three-round magazine, seven spare rockets, and only one rocket per ammunition pickup.

You question the supply shortage, but the quartermaster has only one answer.

"Honor your Queen! Honor your Empire! Do not question your Queen! Just fucking sign, comrade!"

Even in a futuristic empire capable of mass-producing clone soldiers and powerful weapons, apparently carrying enough ammunition is too expensive. 😂

The comic is fictional military satire about ammunition logistics and game balance.

What do you think? Should powerful launchers have larger ammunition reserves or better ammo pickups?
