ghibli comic

Creating visually consistent illustrations for WeChat Official Accounts or personal blogs is time-consuming and often requires expensive designers. This skill automates the generation of Studio Ghibli-inspired covers and multi-panel comics directly from your topics or articles using Gemini models.

What it does

• Ghibli-Style Generation transforms any text topic or Markdown article into high-quality Miyazaki-inspired artwork.
• Multi-Panel Comics handles storyboarding, per-page generation, and vertical stitching for long-form visual storytelling.
• Visual Consistency maintains character and style continuity across multiple panels using reference images and character notes.
• Auto-Layout Management supports various grid styles including four-panel, cinematic wide-shots, and mixed reaction-shot layouts.
• WeChat Integration uploads results directly to the WeChat media platform and returns the thumb_media_id for immediate use.

How it works

1. Trigger the skill by providing a topic or a path to a Markdown article.
2. Select Mode between cover for single 2.35:1 banners or comic for multi-page narratives.
3. Review Storyboard in dry-run mode to check LLM-generated prompts before consuming image generation credits.
4. Execute the Python script to generate images, perform post-processing (cropping/stitching), and optionally upload to WeChat.

Frameworks & tools

Built with Python and Node.js (for Gemini web reverse API). It utilizes gemini-3.0-pro for image generation and gemini-3.0-flash for narrative planning.

Why this beats prompting it yourself

Writing prompts that prevent AI from adding gibberish text or watermarks is difficult. This skill includes hardcoded negative constraints, handles complex multi-step consistency across panels, and automates the tedious cropping and stitching work required for specific social media formats.

Use cases

• Article Covers generate 2.35:1 banners for WeChat Official Account headers.
• Visual Storytelling convert product launch logs or personal stories into multi-page vertical comics.
• Social Media Assets create Ghibli-themed avatars or background illustrations for portfolios.
• Rapid Prototyping quickly visualize storyboards for video or animation projects.

Known limitations

Reverse API cookies expire frequently and require manual re-authentication via a browser. Character consistency across long comics is high but not 100% perfect. No support for text overlays within the images.
