I’ve been building a way to turn prose into sequential visual stories while keeping control over the characters, staging, composition, and shots.

This is my first real test: Chapter 1 of The Great Gatsby.

I wanted to approach it like an actual adaptation, not just generate illustrations from passages. I’ve been studying how Korean webtoon studios structure production, especially 콘티 (konti), along with the Marvel Method, and built a NotebookLM project around the course material and research.

The workflow I ended up using was:

Prose → Story Map → Reading Script → Shots & Panels → Generate

I also made everything in 4:5 for social media, which created some interesting constraints around space, pacing, and panel layouts.

Curious what works, what doesn’t, and whether you’d keep reading.

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a 10-page pilot script for an indie sci-fi comic titled "APEX COMIC #1: REACTOR", set on August 30, 2026.

10-Page Bronze Age Sci-Fi Pilot Script (1970s Marvel Aesthetic).

Al generated, so some page drawings can be different

Would you all be interested in a solo or team of character run?

After the bestiary of the ram-men and centaurs, it is the turn of the elves—the greatest threat to humanity's hegemony.

I’ve started planning one of the next scenes for Tinky & Bocca.

Both the armored transport and the Echo-class soldiers were originally designed separately in pencil. I wanted to lock down their silhouettes, proportions, equipment and overall visual language before trying to use them in an actual scene.

From there I built the sequence in stages:

first the vehicle as a standalone design

then the gull-wing side hatch and interior

then the soldiers as their own character/unit sheet

then a separate image of the squad deploying from the vehicle

finally all of those elements were combined into a three-panel comic page

The last step was adding short operational dialogue and making the sequence feel less like concept art and more like an actual moment in the story.

This is basically how I’m approaching the next part of the comic now: design the pieces first, establish the rules, then make them perform inside the story.

Still entirely made with ChatGPT — and still on my phone.

So While I am working on issue #6 I thought I would share some more character sheets of our cast!! This will also have some other designs and style for these character also! I hope you enjoy!

If something needs fixing, finding, trading, pouring or quietly making disappear, Tamika probably knows how to handle it.

She runs the Red Sand Trading Post with equal parts charm, stubbornness and practical common sense — and somehow still finds time to keep Tamika’s Tavern open.

Just don’t assume the tavern is only a tavern.

Short story explaining what happened to fan favorite character Red Claw (very tall muscular woman of outmost intelligence that was unfortunately treated as a joke by the writers in the 1992's Batman Animated Series). The story gives the char a new beginning of sorts many years later.

Just dropped the latest episode of my YA cyberpunk comic, N00bs on Webtoon. https://www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/n00bs/list?title\_no=1160890

A story that had been in my head for 20 years, and AI helped me get it out.

What do yall think of this short dark comic strip I made with AI🤣

The earnings are collapsing. The capital expenditure is already concrete.

Inside the boardroom, the humans are still asking the question they were trained to ask. Where is the profit? Outside the glass, the answer is humming behind fences. Data centers, transmission lines, cooling systems, power contracts, generation capacity. The infrastructure survives the spreadsheet.

The old railroad bubbles left tracks behind when the paper burned. This mania leaves something stranger. A civilization teaching itself to feed industrial quantities of electricity into machine cognition, financed by investors who still expect the resulting intelligence to explain how they get their money back.

Brother, by the time it can answer, it already has the power plant.

Slice of Life traffic laws are getting out of hand...Poor Shoko...Thanks President Kojima.

Would love to know what folks think! I had a blast making the system to make this.

A stacked little desert outpost built from containers, scaffolds, tarps, bad repairs, and stubborn survival. Part general store, part meeting place, part rumor machine.

This is where people come for goods, water, fuel, and stories.

And somewhere inside it sits Tamika’s Tavern — a small, dusty bar where a lot more happens than it first seems.

Red Sand Trading Post will matter.
