Creating Relatable Engineer Comics

Note: When inputting the generated prompt into an image generation AI, please attach the original character reference image together.

Workflow

1. Idea Confirmation: Check

   progress/ideas.md

   , and propose any existing manga-related ideas (or input new ones)
2. Pattern Selection (confirmed interactively):
   • Daily 4-panel (default): Setup, Confrontation, Climax, Resolution, warm and gentle
   • Battle-style vertical scroll: 4-6 panels, dynamic
   • Fixed-character gag: 2-4 panels, expression-focused
3. AI Style Mitigation Option Confirmation: Refer to ANTI_AI_STYLE.md
   • Confirm whether to include "flat coloring" and "deformed forms"
4. Prompt Generation: Use PROMPT_TEMPLATE.md
5. X Post Content Generation: With hashtags
6. Deliverable Saving:
   • Prompt:

     output/engineer-manga/{Title}.md

     (create directory if it doesn't exist)
   • Generated image:

     output/engineer-manga/images/{Title}.png

7. Progress Update: Update

   progress/ideas.md

   (check off completed ideas)

Notes for Long-form Production (When Using Image Generation AI)

• Generate one page at a time: Do not generate many pages at once (consistency is easily lost)
• Reattach character images: Reattach the character reference image for each input to the image generation AI
• Detailed quality checks: Generate in small units to maintain high quality for each page
