I wrote 13 notebooks of stories as a kid but couldn’t draw. This week, I finally made one into a manga.”
Real talk: I wanted to be a mangaka since I was 12. I'm 24. I have notebooks. I cannot draw. I tried, for years. My hands just don't work that way.
This week I took the first story I ever wrote 4 pages about a kid who finds out their shadow is real, and slightly mean to them and turned it into an actual manga using MangaFlow Studio (AI tool, open beta, I'm a tester).
It might not look perfect to some people But the story EXISTS now, in a form I can show people. 12 years later.
I'm not posting to argue whether this counts as "real" manga. I'm posting because if you're in the same boat as me, your story is allowed to exist.
[4 pages + a photo of my old notebook]

Cartoon girl - white dress
Updated picture after my post yesterday. Tried to add shadows and depth. What do you think? If it looks bad to you, please explain why. If it looks good to you, I‘d also love to know why you think so!

Blonde cartoon Girl, Messy Hair (need feedback)
Hi, I'm new to generating AI images. I'm using ComfyUI. Is there anything I can improve? I want the pictures to look like this and also appealing. Any improvement tips or wishes for other characters?

Using mathematical and physical texture systems to recreate antique Japanese print aesthetics with AI.
Studying how mathematical structure, ink diffusion behavior, paper physics, and historical print imperfections can be translated into AI-driven image systems.
For this series, I focused heavily on:
- line pressure consistency
- pigment density variation
- aged paper surface response
- micro-imperfections found in traditional Japanese woodblock prints
- biological/anatomical balance in the creatures
A lot of current AI artwork still feels overly synthetic because it ignores the physical behavior of real-world materials. My goal here was the opposite: making the visuals feel physically grounded and historically tactile rather than “AI generated.”
The interesting part is that this wasn’t approached like simple prompting. It was treated more like a visual systems problem involving composition control, texture physics, historical references, and perceptual realism.
Would genuinely love feedback from artists, historians, printmakers, or anyone interested in visual realism and traditional aesthetics.
