Generate My PromptThe Anatomy of a Great Prompt
A good AI manga prompt needs three core ingredients:
- Action: What is actually happening in the panel? (e.g., "A young boy swings a glowing sword")
- Environment: Where does it take place? (e.g., "in a ruined cyberpunk alleyway")
- Camera/Style: How is it framed? (e.g., "low angle shot, dynamic perspective, heavy inking")
Prompt Templates That Work
Use this base formula: [Character] + [Action] + [Environment] + [Camera angle] + [Mood/Lighting].
Example: "A silver-haired swordsman blocks an energy blast with his blade — rooftop of a burning city — wide shot from below — lightning storm lighting, high contrast."
What to Avoid
- Vague emotions: "He was sad" → describe the physical expression instead.
- Too many characters in one panel: Max 2–3 for clarity.
- Abstract concepts: "Time slowed down" → show clock hands frozen, debris floating mid-air.
