Ask HN: Gen model to 1) design characters 2) make a consistent comic with them?

I am looking for a generative model that can make a drawings based on an RPG campaign I had with my friends.

The idea is to create consistent character designs of each character first (say ogre, mage, dragonborn)

and then use those designs for panels that would be based on my inputs about the story (I have notes from a longer campaign).

The models I know / tried are not consistent at all.

They dont store the character design, so each panel is different in style (apart from those model that generate designs ripped off from Studio Ghibli).

Is there any free or paid model that allows that?

    You need to build out a baseline style using text-to-image and then always add those images as "style reference" images in future prompts e.g. "Create a four-panel comic of bla bla bla. Use the attached images strictly as stylistic references only".

    That will help keep the model on track.

    I've seen people doing this with GPT Image 2.
