The possibilities to deliver the creative story are endless
If you want to make a work beyond the limit of imagination
then you already made a right choice
Artificial intelligence is beyond the simple tool
innovative technology to open new horizons for creation
This course is not only to teach you the technical methods
of artificial intelligence to create cartoons and webtoon simply
But also to get help
and use the artificial intelligence I will try to give you the insight about it
Comic and webtoon are not just a combination of paintings and text
but a powerful means to deliver emotions and stories
Just a few times of control through artificial intelligence doesn't make a work
It's a fact that no one can deny
Now go and find a way to approach and use it wisely
AI tools which are able to make cartoons and webtoon
Hello from now I will introduce some tools
we can use to make cartoons and webtoon
among a lot of AI tools in general
So many programs are releasing and disappearing
There are times that I get asked about how can they use AI tools well
Just like any other major, you have to put time and effort
to make your own know-how to use it
Take an interest in and if there are tools that you can use
and estimate if it is worth try and challenge little by little
through things like review
The content I'm going to introduce here is
based on the tools that most general and used most
For several years from now, kind and capability of AI will be developed and they will compete
So the tools that I introduce in this course
will be changed about user interface and version significantly as well
But the overall flow and the point I introduce today
will give you the insight
for you to apply to whatever the tool is
So, from now on, let's check out one by one
Innovative change occurred, as Chat GPT released on November 2022
In the way that most of the documentation and programming can be applied
make it easy to access the specialized knowledge
and people in various fields started to study the usage actively
In the field of creative literature didn't miss it
and attempting to make it learn in various aspects and make results
This book was written with the help of Chat GPT
it was a project that make it learn about lecture materials
and know-how around 15 years of lecture
about stories of cartoons and make revise
Make it study the concept of written continuity of webtoons through the study
and was able to write continuity in the way I wanted
The concept of story that will be introduced and the progress of this course
proceed newly refer to the content that has been dealt with in this book
There has been many version up since then
so I was able to make writings that wasn't easy to deal with back then
Of course it is versioning up technically even now
it is not easy to estimate how far or deep
we could get help from
But in the range of availability, research what kind of help you need
on which part you can get help
I recommend you to use actively if it helps
there are many conversational AI other than Chat GPT
I have an experience make them write on the same concept
comparing with Chat GPT, Bard and Clova
This is the one
I gave Chat GPT and Bard equally
information about time of writing this is year 1923
and asked them to write how the education of korea
would develop in a hundred years later and this is result
I was able to draw the different feeling of writings
I was able to get different result because amount and the direction of the data
was different on each tools
Probably because of lack of the amount of education since it was the early days for Clova
drawn answers was not various
and bard gave me unemotional feelings
By comparison, I got the feelings that conversation between me and Chat GPT was moving along
And this also is changing through the update
sometimes compare to each programs
and find a program that gives you the most optimized result
and use it to work
You can download and use app you like inside of Chat GPT
by purchasing program of Chat GPT people developed
There are various way of usage so study it following the trend
There are many of image making AI
but Midjourney and Stable Diffusion are most popular representatively
Left painting is made by Midjourney
and right one is made by Stable Diffusion
Midjourney doesn't have freedom regarding movement and consistency
is not appropriate for long-term publishing
but it's great to make stylish scene
It's appropriate for works such as conceptual art or cover illustration
Stable Diffusion is difficult to install and get used to it
but you can direct you want regarding consistency,
application of model and movement
Therefore if you think of long-term publishing or project
I recommend you to approach with this program
In future, webtoon has a possibility to develop
into various extended contents such as moving meme
When the movement is implemented, naturally accompanied technology is the sound
Till now, making sound was not easy to approach because of the cost
but through AI dubbing program provided by Naver CLOVA
or AI music generation program like AIVA
it has been easier to make compare to before
Adding sound with proper dubbing
would help you to make webtoon that various experiences are available
Producing creation with AI
Now, let me introduce the process of making frame of story with Chat GPT
Such as writing Synopsys, setting up the character setting and background
and make written continuity
There is no answer using AI
Refer to it and apply properly
with your own flow, I recommend
Before using AI, the root of story you want to write
needs to be held by writer
Of course, the work without sensibility and emotion
can not touch reader's heart
I recommend you to start after making a concept and write
at least 2 or 3 short lines of Synopsys of story
Also set the characters and background
put up a pole and start so that story can go on
based on your imagination somewhat
I will write it down roughly for now and go to get help from Chat GPT
Necessary elements to design work are concept, story, main character and background as such
Let's make a concept
I'll write down school life, growth and friendship as concept
now for the Synopsys of story
I'll write down conflict and friendship
that happens at school club
Now set the characters
There has to be main character and rival and assistant character
Maybe a professor who is villain
set background next
I'll set background at department of cartoon and animation contents of provincial college
and there are fruit trees and farmlands
everywhere around college
Did you finish?
Then I'll move on to the next with contents you wrote
Result of Chat GPT that you are going to experience would be baffles
Actually, really good at it
But if you use the writings as it is
then you will notice that it is a writing without content
Because AI suggest the safest thing based on data
Therefore there is no desperate feelings regarding of conflict or crisis
And it is not working well to make writings
describing emotions in detail such as crush
AI is a result of data, never experienced in reality
I think putting actual sensibility and emotion is what only human can do
So start and think and find the material
based on what you experienced till now
And don't be pushed around by AI
guide it and get help to make your own story
Story needs to be accompanied with problem, goals, conflict and character of idea
If the center of concrete story is established like that
then this part is the concept of work correspond to Sysnopsys
Start with the story you want
Familiar story, existing story, such as Cinderella
Genre you like to read, touching point, the sentence just comes up in mind, from there
There are elements can not be fall out
You have to have the answers of following questions
Corresponding to time and background, when does it happen?
Corresponding to place, where does it happen?
Corresponding to character, whose story it is?
Corresponding to motive and desire, why are you do such things?
Corresponding to problem, conflict, what is the problem?
And how has it been solved or not?
The most important thing is what is the message you want to deliver
Make sure you decide before the start
There has to be time and place for background of story
these also are very important elements to story genre
There will be difference between the feeling and experience of country and city
form of life could be different because of terrain or weather
even if you see the past, present and future
time can show the difference between generation and values
Therefore the setting of these time and background would be very important
If you can't come up then ask Chat GPT about it
I want to make a story that plays with these concept
and set 5 of each time and place with reason
The answer could be what you want or not
But you can get hints inside the sentences Chat GPT show you
or extract from here and there and apply it
or change question little by little to find the setting you like
When you began you would've decided character approximately
If you didn't set the specific settings
then fill the blanks with Chat GPT as well
Name, age, nickname, appearance, living place, work ethic, homeland, background of family
religion or belief, like, dislike, close character, character who is on bad term with, hobby, specialty
Ask that I have my ideas more or less and suggest these part
Then you would get more specific answer you like
I'll set name of main character as Han Gahae
20 years-old, nick name is sloth, as for appearance, 160cm tall and chubby body, from seoul
Hobby is drawing and specialty is spacing out
who has the experience on 1st place at official competition
With the part that I fill so far, I'll fill the blank having conversation
Concept of story I have to set character
is that school life, growth and friendship, the department of cartoon animation contents of provincial college as background
Background is college with full of fruit trees and farmlands are everywhere
and trying to write about conflict and friendship of students that happens at school club
Questions that will be written needs to be answer based on here, got it
Start with presenting the objective of project will be progressed on this chapter like this
Then the writings progressing on input window
can be progressed keeping the context most
If it looks like lost direction
then fix it by presenting set sentences again
And input the information of character finished setting
and request to suggest outputs
Name of main character is Han Gahae, age 20, nickname sloth
As for appearance, 160cm tall and chubby, from Seoul
Hobby is drawing and specialty is spacing out having experience with 1st place at official competition
and input indicating words
to set 5 of each close and rival friends
I set the characters like this
Now is time for the background
I want you to do the background setting around the club
Building that club is located, setting of lecture room and corridor with major department
and set places where students can go out after school
I input indicating words to set 3 atmosphere background of each
Let's use one of each 3 suggests that I like
as the setting of background
Now I'm going to write continuity
If I make continuity only with Chat GPT then I can't configure amount of copies in accordance with publishing
Therefore it's important to progress after setting overall flows and volumes
Start after making a rough story with the threads following
Of course if you are stuck, you can get help from AI
Beginning, it's step to set the backgrounds such as time and space
Introducing characters with desire of main character, problems and dangerous elements appear
Who is the main character, what is the conflict and how it started needs to be shown
Development, it's a step reacting to new incident made by conflict
Repeating futile attempt, taking shape of rival and obstacles
Get new information to gain thrust to step forward in this step
How is the first reaction of main character, what are the obstacles, set elements of interesting
Opposition, step where the objective is get clear
Plans to solve the problem such as conquering mental obstacle inner side
and attacking the obstacle
Cause of the problem and how the main character is trying to solve needs to be center
End, accelerating step of adventure
As climax step achieving or failing
wrap up the story with a sad ending or a happy ending or open ending
It needs progress to study before making written continuity
suggest the format first to study
You can progress designating the personality or the way of speaking of characters
But it needs revise and indicate to guide towards the direction I want
Daily life of college students while preparing national competition at club
I'm trying to make written continuity with this story
Page 1, frame 1, explanation of background, Han Gahae is looking at the monitor wearing worried face
Han Gahae, phew, what should I do
Format above is the form of written continuity
5 to 6 frames on page 1
I requested to constitute the story of 6pages with this format
If you want to set details before making this written continuity, how the big structure of story
do you want to be progressed and why and how the rival compete
write briefly getting help only for lacking part
build up the story would give you good result
Let's make conceptual art with AI
The differences between Midjourney and Stable Diffusion
Midjourney is high-quality and easy to use
Update day by day broaden the range of usage and the quality
Quality of Stable Diffusion is variable depends on the user
How to use is difficult but it is able to make image intended
Since every tools have different features so whichever easy to use
and select program you need and learn and us it
As for Midjourney, it is operating as the form of monthly subscription fee and Stable Diffusion is free
But it is required high specification graphic card
consequential upgrade is needed therefore there are initial cost and install is a bit tricky
there is a case you have to install again every time you upgrade
But it is developing to make it easier to use
I don't think the need of high specification graphinc card is not going to change
Midjourney is image creating AI service used typically
and service is available through discord
You can download discord on smartphone
so you can create image while moving
It's easy to use Midjourney to make conceptual art, making background, design icon, character
but extracting is harsh and hard to fix
Despite all, it's easy to use and create high quality
But it is fixed monthly charge
This is homepage of discord
Download in accordance with each specification and make account and use it
Let me show you the progress to create character
Through prompt, select character with the mood you want and prompt called character sheet, turn around, various facial
expressions, white backgrounds are base, type the appearance of character you want
Select model you like among images created
create 2x zoom and selected expression I like
But you can do this part with various, subtil option
pull whatever the way draws the result you want
When update, command or prompt can be progress different direction
therefore you have to adjust the use
Gathered images created and organized the character sheet
Make with form you need and use it
Now let's create background
Use entire wall of college lecture room as board
or creative classroom students can decorate with their paintings
Input prompt describing space with various colors of chairs and tables
Adjust prompt till you find image you like
Select and save image you want among the final images
Input comic, close-up, monitor of computer, comic on the desk through prompt
Find the image to use and repeat options of scale and vary
to create area you want and draw final image
Edited frame simply together
modified simply with Photoshop
There is a time it's easier to modify manually with hands
If you think using hands would be faster, rather than using AI tools
move to comfort tools to use without delay
and finish the work would be good for your mental health quite many times
Final edit using tools that comfort and fit most to you
So we made a manuscript
I couldn't do various demonstration because of the limit of lecture time
I think you got many insights until now
Where can I use it?
How about thinking over enough and put some times to study?
Thank you
SUMMARY AI tools to make comics and webtoon Chat GPT Progress as if conversation is moving along Bard Unemotional answer was drawn CLOVA Not various answer was drawn
Midjourney Proper for conceptual art or cover illustration since it's good for stylish scene Stable Diffusion proper for long-term publishing, project
Produce creation with AI Make frame of story with Chat GPT Decide concept Design Synopsys of story Set characters Set backgrounds
Needs step to make it study suggesting format you want, before make written continuity Make conceptual art Midjourney: high quality, easy use, develop fast
Stable Diffusion: various quality depends on user, difficult use, be able to make image intended
