I’m trying to build the most reliable character consistency workflow possible in Draw Things on iPhone.
My goal is to create original characters for a manga and keep the same character recognizable across many generations while changing poses, expressions, camera angles, clothing, backgrounds, and eventually scenes with multiple characters.
I’m not necessarily looking for the fastest workflow. I care more about consistency.
For people who regularly use Draw Things for consistent characters, what setup has worked best for you?
I’m especially interested in:
• Which model gives you the best character consistency
• LoRA vs MoodBoard vs reference images
• Whether you combine MoodBoard and LoRA
• Best way to preserve the same face, hair, body proportions, and overall design
• How many reference images you use
• Whether multiple angles of the character help
• Pose or ControlNet settings you recommend
• Seed strategy
• Strength or weight settings that actually work well
• How you prevent the character from slowly drifting after multiple generations
• Best approach when two or more recurring characters are in the same image
I’m using an iPhone 17 Pro Max with 12 GB RAM, so I’m also interested in setups that work realistically on that hardware.
If you were starting from scratch today and your main priority was maximum character consistency for a manga, what Draw Things workflow would you build?

I’m trying to build a ComfyUI workflow for a colored manga/webtoon where my original characters stay consistent throughout the whole story.
I already have full-body and close-up reference images for the characters. I understand the basic idea behind checkpoints, character LoRAs, ControlNet/OpenPose, IP-Adapter/reference images, but I’m struggling with figuring out the best way to combine everything.
Basically, I want to be able to say: this is Jake → keep him looking like Jake → put him in this pose/expression/outfit → place him in different scenes → keep the same art style and character identity from panel to panel.
Eventually I also need to put multiple recurring characters in the same scene without their faces/features bleeding into each other.
I don’t care if the best solution is Illustrious, SDXL, FLUX, Qwen, or something completely different. I’m looking for whatever gives me the most consistency and control in ComfyUI.
If anyone has built something similar for a manga, webtoon, visual novel, etc., I’d really appreciate hearing what model and workflow you use and how you connect the different pieces. I’m trying to actually understand the workflow instead of randomly changing settings until something works.

Here’s a concise version you could post on Reddit:
I’m trying to build a consistent cast of characters in NovelAI for a long-form Webtoon/comic, and I’m looking for advice from people who have done something similar.
My goal isn’t just to generate random images—I’m trying to create a reusable reference library for each character so they stay consistent throughout the entire story.
Right now I’m making:
Character sheets with front, side, back, and 3/4 views.
Reference sheets for different outfits (everyday clothes, swimwear, sleepwear, etc.).
Consistent faces, hairstyles, body proportions, and art style across every image.
The idea is that later I can place these characters into new scenes without them changing appearance every time.
For those of you who create long-form comics or visual novels in NovelAI:
Is this the best workflow?
Are turnaround sheets actually useful, or is there a better way?
How do you keep characters consistent across hundreds of images?
Do you create separate body/outfit reference sheets?
Any tips, tricks, or workflows you’ve discovered that save time or improve consistency?
I’d really appreciate hearing how experienced users approach this. I’m trying to build a solid pipeline before I start creating the actual comic.

I’m working on creating my own original adult characters for an NSFW manga, and I’m looking for an AI tool that can help me generate and edit the artwork consistently.
Ideally, I want something with a chat-style interface like ChatGPT or Gemini, where I can upload an image, explain the changes in normal language, and have it generate or edit the image directly in the conversation.
The main features I’m looking for are:
NSFW-friendly for clearly adult fictional characters
Good image quality
Strong character consistency
Ability to upload reference images
Image-to-image editing and inpainting
Ability to preserve the same face, body type, art style, clothing details, and character-sheet layout
Preferably no coin system for every image, or at least an unlimited monthly subscription
Browser or app is fine
Beginner-friendly, without needing complicated prompts or technical settings
I’ve tried local generation, but I’m looking for something simpler and more conversational.
Does anyone know of a reliable tool that fits most of this? I’d especially appreciate recommendations from people who have actually used it for manga, comics, character sheets, or recurring original characters.
