Three messages. Ten chapters. Twenty-one comic pages.
This is a real conversation with the comic assistant, from a project adapting Maupassant's "The Necklace". The user never wrote a panel, picked a character or chose a page count. Watch what the assistant did instead.

Pick up where the comic left off and draw the next 2 chapters that don't have pages yet. Let the story flow naturally from what's there, and keep the characters consistent with the existing character sheets. Don't fix the page count — draw as many pages as each chapter needs. No need to wait for my go-ahead, just start.

There are no comic pages or character sheets yet. I'll start with identity sheets for Mathilde and Loisel, who carry the whole story, then draw chapters 1 and 2 as the plot needs — about 2 pages each, 4 in total. Your balance covers it. Storyboards will be in English, in the project's 2.5D game art style. Starting now.

Reference Images: Image 1: identity reference for Mathilde Loisel. Preserve her facial proportions, eye shape and spacing, nose structure, mouth shape, jawline, hairline, skin tone, and slender build. This controls facial identity only; clothing, age impression, expression, pose, camera angle, and setting come from the panel text. Image 2: identity reference for Monsieur Loisel. Preserve his facial proportions, eye shape, nose, moustache, jawline, hairline, skin tone, and average build. This controls facial identity only. Characters: Mathilde Loisel, a beautiful French woman in her late twenties with a slender build, wearing a plain modest house dress; her expression is dissatisfied and wistful. Monsieur Loisel, her ordinary cheerful husband in his early thirties, wearing modest civil-servant clothing. Setting: A small, poor Paris apartment in the late nineteenth century, with dirty walls, worn chairs, ugly curtains, and a simple dining area. Art Style: 2.5D game art style. Panel 1: Open on Mathilde seated alone in the cramped apartment, fingertips resting on a worn table as she looks across the shabby room. Her hopeful gaze drifts toward an imagined luxurious world — camera: slow push in. Panel 2: Cut to a visualized dream of Mathilde in an elegant, softly lit antechamber with Oriental tapestries and bronze lamps, while two sleepy footmen rest in large chairs. She lifts her chin as if she belongs there — camera: slow pan right. Panel 3: Cut back to the apartment. Mathilde lowers her eyes to the dirty walls and her faint smile disappears. Mathilde: "I was meant for a life of elegance, not this." — camera: static. Panel 4: Reverse angle on Mathilde beside the small window, watching the neighbor's girl doing housework outside. She presses one hand to her heart as regret deepens across her face — camera: slow pull back.

Chapter 1 is done — 2 pages. On to chapter 2 with the same character sheets. It holds the shabby dinner, Mathilde's longing for luxury, and the invitation that turns everything, so I'll draw it in 2 pages.

Next up: chapters 3 to 7. I'll read each chapter when I reach it and split the pages by the plot. For now I expect 2 pages each for chapters 3 and 4; I'll decide the rest after reading them rather than forcing a fixed count. Starting with chapter 3.

Step by step
What the assistant did in this conversation
- 1
It checks the project before touching anything
Progress, the credit balance and the character library come first. Here the library was empty, so the assistant knew it had to create the cast before drawing a single page.
- 2
It decides who deserves a character sheet
It searched the novel for each name and counted the chapters they appear in. Recurring people get an identity sheet; a passer-by is described inside the panel instead.
Mathilde Loisel 
Monsieur Loisel 
Madame Forestier - 3
It writes every panel itself
Each page gets a storyboard: who is in it, the setting, the art style, and four panels with camera direction and a line of dialogue. The character sheets are attached as numbered references so faces stay the same.
- 4
It reads one chapter at a time and sizes the pages to the story
Most chapters of this story became two pages. Chapter 9, which covers ten years of hardship, became three. A new character, Madame Forestier, got her sheet right before her first scene.
- 5
It reports what it did, and checks first
Before each summary it re-read the project to confirm every page was saved, then listed exactly what was drawn.

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to write prompts or storyboards?
No. You ask in plain words, like "draw the next two chapters". The assistant reads the chapter and writes the storyboard for every page itself.
How does it keep characters looking the same?
It draws one identity sheet per recurring character and attaches it to every page that character appears on. The sheet fixes the face; the panel text sets clothing, age and expression.
Can I talk to it in my own language?
Yes. Write to it in whatever language you are comfortable with. Speech bubbles follow the comic language set on the project.
Does it ask before it deletes anything?
Yes. Deleting a page, clearing a chapter, deleting a character sheet or changing the art style waits for you to press Approve.
