Choosing an art style

You pick an art style when you create a series or a standalone issue. The style applies consistently across every page, panel, character avatar, and cover in that issue — so once you pick it, all your art has a unified feel.

You can run different series in different styles. The choice is per-series, not per-account.

The 12 styles

American Comics — classic superhero comic look: bold lines, saturated colors, dynamic action poses. Think Marvel/DC.

Manga — Japanese manga: black-and-white-leaning ink work, expressive faces, screentone shading. High emotion.

Manhwa — Korean webtoon style: clean linework, soft color palettes, polished modern look.

European BD — Franco-Belgian bande dessinée: detailed backgrounds, painterly color, cinematic compositions. Think Tintin or Asterix.

Cartoon — animated-show flat shading: bold colors, simple shapes, expressive characters. Friendly and accessible.

Realistic — photorealistic painting style: textured skin, natural lighting, lifelike proportions. Great for grounded drama or sci-fi.

Noir — high-contrast black-and-white with dramatic shadows. Crime stories, detective tales, moody pieces.

Watercolor — soft watercolor washes with visible brush textures. Dreamy, atmospheric, emotional stories.

Digital Art — modern digital painting: rich colors, polished rendering, flexible across genres.

Vintage / Retro — older printing aesthetic: muted color palette, halftone textures, analog feel.

Chibi — exaggerated cute style: oversized heads, small bodies, simplified features. Comedy and lighthearted stories.

Pixel Art — retro video-game pixel style: limited palette, pixelated shading. Nostalgic and stylized.

Picking the right style

A few rules of thumb:

• Match the genre: superhero → American Comics; horror noir → Noir; gentle slice-of-life → Watercolor or Manhwa.
• Match the audience: kids' stories pair well with Cartoon or Chibi; adult drama with Realistic, Digital Art, or European BD.
• Match the format: webcomics often look great in Manhwa; long-form prestige reads well in Graphic Novel size with Watercolor or European BD.

Changing the style mid-series

You can update the series-level art style after creating it, but already-generated pages keep their original style — they don't auto-regenerate. To re-style existing pages, regenerate them after changing the style. That costs the normal page-generation rate.

If you really want to change the look of a series partway through, it's usually cleaner to start a new series.

Custom or hybrid styles?

Not currently. The 12 styles above are what's supported. If none fit, pick the closest and customize through your synopsis and panel descriptions ("…in a Studio Ghibli-inspired pastoral setting").
