Turn this photo into a dramatic comic book panel. Keep my face and features recognisable.

Bold inked outlines, halftone shading, dynamic low angle, speech bubble saying "[LINE]", action lines and a bold caption box: "[CAPTION]". Vibrant colours, urban rooftop backdrop.

Keep the speech bubble under 8 words so the text stays clean.

What you will get

A comic panel starring you: bold ink outlines, halftone shading, a dynamic low angle, action lines, a speech bubble with your line and a caption box, on an urban rooftop in vivid colours.

Why it works

A comic panel is built from a few strong signals: inked outlines, halftone dots, action lines and a low angle that makes the hero look bigger. The prompt asks for all of them, plus one speech bubble and one caption box, which is how real panels tell a moment. Keeping the bubble short, as the tip says, gives the lettering the best chance of coming out clean.

Common mistake

The words in the speech bubble or caption are misspelt.

Fix: Keep the bubble to eight words or fewer and read it letter by letter. If it is wrong, ask for empty bubbles and type the text in an editor.

Also watch for

The hero no longer has your hair, beard or glasses. Name the features to keep: “my short curly hair, round glasses and a beard, in comic style”.
Extra captions and sound effects fill the panel. Say “one speech bubble and one caption box only, no other written words”.

Try a variation: manga page

Ask for “a black and white manga page with screentones, speed lines and three panels”. Manga reads right to left, so say so if you want the layout that way.

Keep my glasses, beard and hairstyle in comic style, use only one speech bubble and one caption box and check that every word is spelt correctly.
