We gave one original screenplay to the generation workflow and kept the complete result—not a highlight reel assembled from unrelated runs. Here is the final comic, the first-pass score, every redraw, and the defects that remain.

What was measured

Generation model
ByteDance Seedream 5 Lite
Visual review
Codex multimodal visual review plus deterministic asset-integrity checks; no standalone review-model API was invoked.
First pass
The first generated image for each of the 48 planned panels before any targeted regeneration. A panel passed only when its required cast identities and story action were visually acceptable.
Revision event
One targeted panel regeneration recorded in generation-state.json. Sixteen revision events affected fifteen unique panels because page 7 panel 2 required a second redraw.
Integrity
12 ordered pages, 48 panel files, zero provider failures, zero text overflows, plus PDF and CBZ files that passed page-order and integrity checks.
Active review time not separately measured Cost not measured
Known defects and limits
  • Model-rendered diegetic interface text and small uniform patches sometimes contain misspellings or unreadable glyphs; the authored caption and dialogue layer remains readable.
  • Some faces show minor micro-variation in distant views and extreme angles despite the character-reference workflow.
  • The delivered PDF is optimized for on-screen 3:2 landscape reading; it is not a print-bleed file or a vertical Webtoon episode.
  • Dialogue and captions use a deterministic bottom text band instead of conventional speech-balloon placement.
  • Only 33 of 48 panels passed the first review; final delivery required 16 targeted redraw events across 15 unique panels.
  • Active human review time and settled provider cost were not separately measured for this run.

This is one observed run, not a guarantee of identical acceptance rate, delivery time, or output quality for every input. Evidence record SHA-256: 111e16d6f5ba2b978e2b8460906bc81e3de74acafa3977a3b1a69693c3c58fc4

Turn the story you already have into a visual sequence

Break an existing story into visual beats, scenes, and connected comic panels instead of starting from a blank canvas.

Scripts need structure

A story must be split into beats before it becomes panels.

Dialogue needs space

Comic output should leave room for speech bubbles, captions, and reaction shots.

Characters need memory

The same cast should remain recognizable across the generated sequence.

Narrative

Break a story into comic-ready beats.

Turn a paragraph, outline, or scene into visual moments that can be generated panel by panel.
