There are a plethora of AI-driven tools available online to create written and visual content. When it comes to creating spectacular images and characters, these can be a great aid.
But, did you know you can use some AI tools to create simple comics without editing anything after generating the content? Keep reading to learn about some of the best tools that create simple AI comics with just a prompt.
1. Mage.space
Mage.space is an online AI image generation platform with more than 160 available models. The tool is fantastic for creating impressive AI images of all kinds. With the right prompts, you can turn mage.space into a simple comic generator. It's not perfect, though, and might produce images with some defects.
In my example, I used the following prompt: "Calvin and Hobbes, comic, similar, multiple panes." While it's not perfect, it does a great job at creating a simple comic, and by tweaking the prompt, you can probably get it to output text properly.
If you're struggling to get satisfactory outputs, you can try using a ChatGPT Chrome extension for better AI prompts as a guide.
2. Fantoons
Fantoons is an AI image generator, but it differs in a few ways from the more mainstream alternatives. On the site, you're presented with a list of options to choose from. These include a fandom, character, style, and universe.
By selecting different options, you customize the prompt for the output. When you press Generate, an image is produced. Then, you can press Next to add and customize a caption. Finally, hit Publish to create your image.
In my example, I selected Harry Potter, Luna Lovegood, photorealistic, and cyberpunk. It's worth noting that all creations can be considered single-pane comics. You can use the site multiple times and then use free photo editing software to combine the outputs together to create more complex comics.
3. Storywizard.ai
Storywizard.ai is a site meant for generating personalized educational experiences through the power of AI. With the proper prompts, you can use it to generate rather lengthy, but simple, comics with multiple pages. The key word here is "simple."
On the site, click Create a story to get started. Then, enter some keywords, and it'll generate a full story for you. I used the following prompt in my example: "MUO, tech guru, help readers."
It put together a 15-page story about an entrepreneur named MUO who was set on helping the world learn about technology. While the story was a bit silly in parts, it was a speedy process, and the output is quite impressive.
4. AI Comic Factory
AI Comic Factory is a website that offers AI-generated comic panels using SDXL. Creating prompts for this web app is simple, and you should always keep them short. You can use generic terms and can select from a variety of styles.
Some styles include:
- Japanese
- America (modern)
- Franco-Belgian
- Nihonga
- 3D Render
- Egyptian
You can toggle captions on or off and redraw any panels that aren't to your liking. In my example, I used "Iron Man becomes a computer hacker." I'm happy with the results, but it's worth giving the other styles a try.
5. Plugger.ai
Plugger.ai offers a variety of models for generating simple comics. Its UI is somewhat similar to ChatGPT, using a chat format instead of a section for a prompt and a button to generate.
You can select from various styles, including LazrPop XL, Niji Special Edition SDXL, ComicCraft, and many more. It's worth noting that you only get 30 free credits every month. Depending on your prompts, this can produce five to fifteen images a month.
For my example, I chose ComicCraft and used the prompt "American, 1950, captain america, standing tall, proud." While my example doesn't have a caption or speech bubble, you can add that as a detail to your prompt and get mixed results.
Use Generative AI to Create Simple Comics
AI generators make it easy to produce incredible artwork with even the simplest of prompts. Some online AI tools are better for certain types of outputs, though. The five we looked into make creating comics effortless. Each has a unique approach and will suit you better depending on your preferences.
