Whisk Character Consistency Workflow: A Boon for Serialized Comic Artists

The biggest challenge in AI art isn't that the drawing isn't good enough, but that it doesn't look like the same person. Before LoRA, this was almost unsolvable. To train a decent Character LoRA, you needed to collect at least 20 high-definition images from different angles and run a high-spec GPU for hours.

With the arrival of Whisk, even LoRA seems cumbersome. Whisk brings Zero-Shot Identity Retention.

What is Zero-Shot?

It means: You don't need training. You don't need Fine-tuning. You only need to provide one reference image.

Yes, you heard that right. As long as you have one front-facing character setting sheet (Character Sheet), Whisk can use this as an anchor to generate images of them in any scene, doing any action.

Practical Workflow: From Character Design to Storyboard

Step 1: Create a Character Card

First, uses Midjourney or NijiModel to generate a perfect anime character portrait. Make sure this is the protagonist in your mind. Save this image as your Master Subject.

Step 2: Collect Poses (Action Reference)

Need this character running? Find a photo of a real person running online, or a stick figure composition, as your Style/Structure Reference. Need them drinking coffee? Find a photo of someone drinking coffee.

Step 3: Scene Mixing

In Whisk:

• Subject: Your Master Subject (Character Card).
• Scene: Coffee shop background image.
• Style: The manga style you want (e.g., "Attack on Titan" style).

Click generate. You will be shocked to find your protagonist, wearing their signature clothes, with the same face, sitting naturally in the coffee shop drinking coffee. The lighting matches perfectly.

WhiskPrompt Storyboard Generator

We are developing a more ambitious feature: Auto Storyboard. You only need to upload the protagonist image and input a script:

WhiskPrompt backend will automatically break this down into three shots:

1. [Scene: Doorway] + [Action: Walking in] + [Subject: Hero]
2. [Scene: Table close-up] + [Action: Looking down] + [Subject: Hero]
3. [Scene: Reading letter] + [Action: Surprised face] + [Subject: Hero]

For independent comic artists, storyboard artists, and visual novel authors, the efficiency boost is exponential. You no longer need to be an illustrator; you just need to be a good director.
