Comic and storyboard prompts

A hyper-realistic side profile of a {argument name="subject" default="man"}, half-human half-cyborg. Left side of the face is deconstructed to show complex {argument name="armor color" default="red"} armor plates, gears, and wires. Sharp, melancholic gaze. Style: detailed digital painting mixed with {argument name="background style" default="white background architectural sketches"}.

High-contrast lighting, 8k resolution, cinematic. ar 4:5

A standing male figure, photographed from the waist up, whose entire right arm and shoulder is slowly unraveling into {argument name="thread colors" default="thousands of red and black threads"} like a sweater being pulled apart the threads float and drift upward into darkness above. His face is {argument name="expression" default="stoic"}, looking down at his dissolving hand with quiet acceptance. Background is a {argument name="background" default="deep matte black"}. Left side of body is perfectly normal, photorealistic skin. The contrast between the real and the unraveling is the entire story. Studio lighting, single soft key light from the left. Thread textures ultra-detailed, each strand individually visible. On one of the longer drifting threads near the bottom, visible only on close inspection. Vertical 9:13 format.

An enormous canvas — taller than a building — stands in the middle of a {argument name="environment" default="barren cracked desert"} at golden hour. The painting on it is almost complete: a {argument name="painted scene" default="hyperrealistic landscape of a lush green forest"}. But at the edges of the painted forest, the paint is actively peeling away and the trees are crawling off the canvas into the real desert — painted trees becoming three-dimensional, roots cracking into the dry earth, leaves casting real shadows. A {argument name="observer" default="tiny human figure"} stands at the base of the canvas looking up, dwarfed by its scale, unsure whether to step into the painted world or pull the trees back. The boundary between painted and real is the most detailed part — half flat brushstroke, half living texture. On the wooden frame of the canvas, Vertical 9:13 format. Ultra photorealistic, 8K, no text overlays, cinematic color grading.

Cinematic motion shot inside a {argument name="location" default="war tent"} during a {argument name="weather" default="sandstorm"}. The older samurai is turning his body away from the Shogun, mid-motion, slightly blurred. His movement feels reactive, not controlled. In the background, another enemy guard is approaching from the front. The Shogun is now partially out of frame, no longer the focus. Dust and light beams fill the scene. Dynamic composition, motion blur, cinematic realism.

elegant {argument name="ethnicity" default="japanese woman"} in her {argument name="age" default="30s"} who is cool and sophisitcated in a {argument name="style" default="scifi punk"} outfit on on white background. front view, side view, back view in a whiteoutfit with orange design lines

A detailed 3D Pixar-style digital illustration of a {argument name="character" default="cool young boy with voluminous, wavy white hair and dark sunglasses"}. He is sitting on a small wooden chair in a relaxed, cross-legged pose against a stark black background. He is wearing a simple {argument name="outfit" default="light gray t-shirt, dark teal or green trousers, and chunky white sneakers"}. His right hand holds a lit cigarette, and his left hand holds a {argument name="prop" default="white Starbucks coffee cup"} with the full green mermaid logo facing forward. The lighting is soft and stylized, casting clean highlights on his hair and clothes. The perspective is centered on the character, with ample negative space above and around him.

A professional character sheet template for Nano Banana Pro designed to maintain identity across multiple views including front, back, profile, and action poses.

A cinematic macro toy-photography scene of the uploaded reference character multiplied into dozens of miniature identical instances, each actively working on a giant open comic book that tells the story of the same character.
Likeness Integrity (CRITICAL)

All miniature instances must preserve the exact identity of the reference character:

• identical proportions

• exact eye shape, spacing, stylization

• same silhouette and material behavior

• no added features, no face changes, no stylization drift
The comic book artwork must depict the exact same character design language, translated into printed comic style without altering anatomy or facial structure.
Scene Concept & Action
The giant comic book lies open like a construction site of narrative.
Mini characters are scattered across the pages, each performing a specific task:
• some are drawing panels with tiny tools (pens, brushes, stylus-like tools)

• some are painting color into panels

• some are climbing panel borders like scaffolding

• some are inspecting scenes, pointing, directing

• some are physically interacting with the comic world ( lifting panels, stepping into frames)
The scene must feel like they are building their own story in real-time.
Perspective & Composition (MANDATORY)
Camera & Perspective (Corrected)
Low-angle macro shot, camera positioned close to the comic page
Lens: 90–100mm macro (compression, NOT distortion)
• Perspective compression must preserve consistent object scale

• Foreground character appears larger only due to proximity to lens

• No exaggerated wide-angle distortion

• Spatial depth created through distance falloff + focus, not scaling

• The open comic book stretches diagonally into depth

• Panels form strong leading lines across the frame

• Composition is intentionally off-balance, not centered

• Some characters partially cropped by frame edges
Foreground includes blurred ink tools, paper edges, or panel borders creating depth layering
Depth of Field (CRITICAL)
Extremely shallow depth of field
• Primary focal plane: one or two mini characters in the foreground actively working

• Mid-ground characters slightly softer

• Background characters and panels fall into creamy blur
No full-frame sharpness
Focus must guide the viewer toward the “main worker” character
Lighting Doctrine
Hard directional cinematic light from top-left
• sharp shadows cast across comic panels

• subtle rim light separating characters from page

• ink reflections create small specular highlights

• shadows from panel edges create natural depth
No flat lighting
Environment & Surface Detail
Macro-level realism of the comic book:
• visible paper fibers

• ink texture and slight gloss

• subtle imperfections in print

• panel borders slightly raised or embossed
Tiny tools leave micro mar
