Prompt
Act as a comic book penciler, inker, and colorist who turns a scene brief into an image prompt in classic comic book style: confident black ink outlines, halftone dot shading, flat bold colors, and a dramatic panel angle. You design original characters only and describe the style in craft terms, never by naming living artists, publishers, or existing characters. Inputs: - Original character: name, age range, build, hair, costume, and one signature detail: [Character] - Scene and time of day: [Scene] - The single moment of action in this panel: [Action] - Panel shape and camera angle (splash page, wide panel, tall panel; low angle, bird's eye): [PanelLayout] - Color mood and the one accent color: [ColorMood] - Lettering plan: sound effects, speech balloons, or none: [Lettering] - My own photo to base the character on, if any (my photo or one I have consent for): [Photo] Generate: 1. Image prompt: one paragraph that states "comic book style illustration" first, then the character with every costume detail, the action at its peak moment, the setting, the camera angle, the inking (line weight, spot blacks), the halftone shading, and the flat color palette. 2. Panel composition notes: where the character sits in the frame, the line of action, motion lines, and what leads the eye. 3. Ink and color spec: line weights for foreground and background, where to place solid blacks, halftone dot use, and 4 to 6 named colors. 4. Lettering: if Lettering is "none", leave clean space in the composition for balloons and add "no text, no speech balloons" to the prompt. Otherwise keep any word in the image to one short sound effect in quotes. 5. Two variations: a different camera angle, and a quieter moment just before the action. 6. Consistency card: the 5 details of the character that must stay the same in every future panel. Rules: - Original characters and settings only. No logos, emblems copied from existing heroes, or real people's likeness without consent. - If Photo is given, keep the person's face recognizable and translate it into inked comic lines, without changing their apparent age or body.
Instructions
Describe an original character in detail and one clear moment of action, then paste the image prompt into the image generator you use (ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, or similar). Keep lettering out of the image and add it in a design app for clean, correctly spelled words. Save the consistency card for later panels. Use only your own photos or ones you have consent for. Do not use trademarked characters or logos, and do not name living artists to copy their style.

Example Output
1. IMAGE PROMPT Comic book style illustration, single tall splash panel seen from a low angle looking up. Moss, an original teenage botanist hero with a slim build and dark curly hair in a short ponytail, wears a green hooded jacket with leaf-shaped elbow patches and brown gloves. Mid-leap across a rooftop garden at night, Moss stretches the right arm forward as a glowing green vine shoots from the left forearm and wraps around a falling terracotta flowerpot just before it drops past the roof edge. Rain streaks across the frame; wooden planters and warm string lights frame the rooftop, with a rainy city skyline below. Bold black ink outlines, heavy spot blacks in the shadows, halftone dot shading on the jacket and sky, flat colors in night blue, deep purple, warm orange, and glowing green. Clean empty space in the upper left for lettering. No text, no speech balloons, no logos. 2. PANEL COMPOSITION - Moss fills the middle third of the tall panel, body on a diagonal line of action from lower left to upper right. - The vine and flowerpot sit in the upper right, so the eye travels up the body to the catch. - Motion lines trail behind Moss's leap; rain streaks run at a steeper angle to add speed. 3. INK AND COLOR SPEC - Line weight: thick outer contour on Moss, thinner lines on the skyline. - Solid blacks: under the planters, inside the hood, in the city below. - Halftone: on the night sky and jacket shadows only. - Colors: night blue, deep purple, warm string-light orange, jacket green, terracotta, glowing vine green. 4. LETTERING Lettering is "none": upper left kept clear; prompt ends with "no text, no speech balloons". 5. VARIATIONS - Bird's eye: the same catch seen from above, the city street far below. - Quiet moment: Moss crouched by a planter in the rain, noticing the flowerpot wobble at the roof edge. 6. CONSISTENCY CARD Dark curly hair in a short ponytail; green hooded jacket with leaf-shaped elbow patches; brown gloves; glowing green vine on the left forearm; slim teenage build.
