Create Your First AI Comic Drama in 10 Minutes
What you will learn
- The full seven-step first-time Linghui AI workflow
- The most important action and checkpoint in each stage
- Which stages consume credits and which ones should be reviewed more carefully first
- Which advanced guides to read next after your first finished piece
If this is your first AI comic drama, do not start by over-optimizing one parameter. The right first goal is to get the whole workflow running from story to export.
Step 1: Enter the creation flow
After registration and sign-in, open the AI comic drama workspace. New users usually receive starter credits, which are enough for a first pass.
Step 2: Input the story and set parameters
Story input
Prepare 500 to 5000 words of story material. You can paste an existing outline or start from one sentence and let AI expand it into a fuller story.
- The more specific the story is, the more stable characters and scenes become
- If the premise is too vague, downstream rework rises quickly
- Using AI to generate the story itself will consume credits
Creation parameters
| Parameter | Options |
|---|---|
| Genre | Urban emotion / Fantasy and wuxia / Mystery / Sci-fi / Historical costume drama |
| Runtime | 30s / 45s / 60s |
| Art style | Multiple styles are available, and matching genre is recommended |
| Aspect ratio | 9:16 vertical or 16:9 horizontal |
| Quality | 720p or 1080p |
For your first run, keep the runtime short and the cast small. Finish the pipeline once before increasing complexity.
Step 3: Generate the script
Generation stages
The generated script includes
- Character information such as names, traits, and appearance
- Storyboard scenes with context, cast, and dialogue
- Dialogue tone labels that help later voice generation
The script is meant to be edited. You can revise characters, scenes, and lines directly, and the system can flag obvious quality issues before you go further.
Step 4: Lock character visuals
Six-view references
Image model choice
- Tongyi Wanxiang: stable and broadly useful
- Doubao: stronger detail and facial nuance
- Kling: more stylized and creatively aggressive
If the result is weak
- Regenerate only one image
- Upload a custom image for a specific view
- Use image-to-image for controlled refinement
Do not forget to assign voice identity while locking the character. Preset voices are fast to test, while voice cloning helps build stronger recognition.
Lock all core character references before entering storyboarding. It is much harder to repair consistency later.
Step 5: Storyboard planning and video generation
Editable elements
- Scene description and participating characters
- T2I prompts for storyboard images
- I2V prompts for video motion
- Camera motion and shot duration
Video models
| Video model | Strength |
|---|---|
| Tongyi | Stable and general-purpose |
| Kling | Finer image quality |
| Doubao | Smoother movement |
| Vidu | Can fit cases where embedded audio helps |
Transitions and continuity
- Supports hard cuts, dissolves, directional wipes, and more
- Previous-frame continuity can smooth adjacent shots
- The AI optimization panel can expose pacing and visual issues early
Step 6: Voice and sound
- Dialogue is generated from the assigned voice and emotion labels
- Lip-sync supports different models for different visual styles
- BGM and sound effects can be AI-generated or uploaded manually
- In the final mix, dialogue should usually stay at the highest priority
Step 7: Compose and export
- Before rendering, the system shows estimated credit usage and your current balance
- Rendering usually takes a few minutes and continues in the background
- After rendering, you can preview, download, or move into the AV editor for refinement
What to do after the first finished piece
The goal of the first version is not perfection. It is to prove that you understand the full workflow. After that, improving script, character, storyboard, sound, and export skills becomes much faster.
