  2. 02

    Choose a visual direction

    Specify linework, color treatment, lighting, camera framing, and whether you want a portrait, key visual, scene, or avatar.

  3. 03

    Generate and refine

    Review faces, hands, costume details, and continuity, then request focused changes through chat.

A stronger starting brief

Details worth specifying

  • Define the character first. Prioritize silhouette, face, hair, outfit, and expression before adding environmental detail.
  • Name the shot. Specify close-up, full body, wide scene, low angle, or another deliberate camera view.
  • Protect continuity. When refining, repeat the costume, colors, props, and identity details that must stay unchanged.
  • Keep it original. Describe visual qualities instead of requesting an exact living artist style or copyrighted character.
