How I built my AI comics empire
The website is now live with comics to vote on: https://dailyaicomics.com
Gist: Asking ChatGPT to generate JSON with three scene descriptions (used for image generation) and three accompanying texts.
I've instructed it to go for a funny punchline, but it's a hit or miss.

I like this cartoon pictures
Looks cool, can you share the process of generating ?
I could do one better, I've open sourced the whole thing: https://www.indiehackers.com/post/ive-open-sourced-my-ai-comics-website-ama-fcb023e9ce
this is great!
Building an AI comics empire requires a combination of creativity, business acumen, and technical expertise. Here are some steps that can help you get started:
https://thearmwrestle.com/
Develop a unique concept: The first step is to come up with a unique concept that sets your AI comics apart from others. This could involve creating characters with special abilities or exploring themes that are not commonly seen in the genre.
Create compelling stories: Once you have your concept, you need to create compelling stories that engage your audience. This requires a deep understanding of your characters and the world you have created.
Build your brand: Your brand is what sets you apart from other AI comics, so it is important to invest time and resources into building it. This could include creating a website, social media presence, and marketing materials.
Use technology to your advantage: AI comics are inherently technical, so it is important to leverage technology to your advantage. This could involve using AI tools to create your artwork or using virtual reality to enhance the reading experience.
Collaborate with other creators: Collaboration can be an effective way to build your audience and expand your reach. Consider partnering with other creators, such as writers or artists, to create new stories and characters.
Build a community: Building a community of fans is critical to the success of your AI comics empire. This could involve creating forums for fans to discuss your work or hosting events and meetups.
Be persistent: Building an AI comics empire takes time and persistence. Don't get discouraged if you don't see immediate success. Stay focused on your goals and continue to improve your craft.
By following these steps, you can build a successful AI comics empire that engages audiences and inspires creativity.
Let me guess: ChatGPT wrote this :))
That's cool.
This looks great!
ok this is freaky I'm scared now
The drawings could be less creepy, I agree!
Very very cool, I often have ideas for comics, but I am terrible at drawing. I will totally try this out too!
Let me hear those ideas, I'll generate a comic for you :)
Met a famous celeb, said best way to get a new movie idea is to create a graphic novel and following around that
This is one of the more interesting comments here! Could you expand on that a bit, I'm curious?
I'll be building a proper daily comics website, I'll see about the monetisation later. I'll definitely use https://wasp-lang.dev/ like I did for my previous side-projects.
Just used the website.
Kind of a rookie question - How do you get the same art style many times many times over.
Can you upload an image for it to take inspiration from a particular art style too ?
Hey, it was mostly a side effect of being strict about using a specific style "black and yellow ink" which gave it consistency.
Example with black and yellow ink: https://dailyaicomics.com/025b53a3-2a9d-4ab3-92b4-06e5944c3bf8
I've started to experiment with famous cartoon styles, but then it loses the consistency.
Then with the famous artist style: https://dailyaicomics.com/0798b08e-52cc-467f-9e3d-a77a10a975f9
Nice idea!! well done :-)
Are you hosting your own instance of Stable Diffusion? Nice Work!
Oh, that's a good one. I'm using Replicate to run the models, it's a bit on expensive side, but it works out of the box and it's great for trying stuff out.
This is really cool, nice job!
Thanks! Is there a topic on which you would like to see a comic? I'm still experimenting and looking for cool ideas :)
Really interesting you can get consistent characters with SD!
Hoping to make improvements in this area at Evoke as well
Hey, keeping the style consistent was the biggest challenge. Not all results are great, prompt is sometimes "2 guys talking" and then it draw 3 girls or something like that.
But it's really cool. I'm thinking as a next step to make a "Daily AI Comic" with 5 comics which people can upvote.
