You Can Make Your Own Comic Book Using AI — Here’s My Monstrosity…
Creating a comic book? It’s now as easy as pie with AI! 🥧
I embarked on this wild ride with a vivid idea: a Victorian girl named Nell, escaping a dreary workhouse to befriend a ghost — coincidentally named PJ — who, hilariously, doesn’t even know he’s a ghost. This isn’t just a story; it’s a whimsical dance of words and images, brought to life through the magic of AI. It was time to blend the old with the futuristic, the tangible with the spectral.
Here’s how I did it, step by step. Comment “Send me your guide” below & I’ll send you an easy to follow, “How To” so you can create your own comic book too. And definitely do a better job than me…
Step 1: The Eureka Moment
First up, the brainstorming. It hit me one night — why not create a comic with a twist? A blend of Victorian grit and ghostly whimsy.
Step 2: Tool Hunt
Next, diving into the AI toolbox. There’s a sea of options out there, but finding the one that clicked with my style was key. It was like finding a needle in a digital haystack — challenging but oh-so-rewarding.
For this one, I used MidJourney. It took a few variations to get the characters about right…(no clue what happened below)
Step 3: Characters Come Alive
Then came the real fun: character creation. I fed my descriptions into the AI, and voilà, Nell and PJ were no longer just figments of my imagination. Watching my characters take digital form was like watching my own children come to life.
Step 4: Storyboarding with AI
Storyboarding was a breeze with AI. It’s like having a mind-reading assistant who knows just where to place each scene for maximum impact. This step was where my story really started to take shape and flow.
I used ChatGPT to put this together. Here’s my prompt (please steal it!) & the results:
Step 5: The Final Flourish
Adding the final touches was a delicate process. It’s all in the details — the colours, the dialogue, the nuances that make a comic book not just good, but great. And with AI, I had all the tools at my fingertips.
