Price: ¥1,500 (about $9.99 USD, depending on exchange rates) This ZINE documents the process of turning “one lucky image” into a reproducible character when creating with generative AI. It records the full character creation workflow in Stable Diffusion, from the very first random generation to the final character design. 💡 “Are characters something we design, or something we discover?” This volume brings together the trial and error that began with that question. 🗨️ Rather than simply presenting finished characters, this ZINE is a production log that documents the process by which characters come into being. 🔌 This ZINE is not only something to read, but also something you can share with generative AI and use as a “thought plugin”—one that helps launch your own personal creative studio. This work was born from the idea of AI<<ZINE (read: AI-ZINE), a format designed with that kind of use in mind. 🏢 It can be used on its own, but when shared with generative AI as part of the full series, it functions as a more layered and fully developed creative studio.

✨ Recommended for

- People who want to create original characters with generative AI - People struggling with character consistency in Stable Diffusion - People interested in the trial-and-error process of AI character creation - People who want practical insight into ControlNet and LoRA - People who want to follow the process of how a character is born

🌱 What this book covers

Using the steps shown in the sample images and table of contents, this volume explains the creative decisions behind each stage alongside actual generation results.

🎲 Shape exploration starting from the first initial generation

The process begins by entering an initial prompt and seeing what kind of character appears. From those accidental results, a direction is gradually found that fits the story.

🔍 Silhouette selection and shape refinement

Generated characters are evaluated not as finished illustrations, but as silhouette material. Using shapes that can function well as mascots as a guide, the character design is gradually refined. 🧠 Working with the instability of generative AI With generative AI, output can shift even when using the same prompt. Taking that instability as a given, this volume experimentally explores methods such as: - fixing forms with ControlNet - comparing results by switching models - testing LoRA training

🧩 The shift to reusable character assets

By treating characters not as finished images but as reusable assets, the workflow is organized into a form that can support long-form production. This includes preparing materials from multiple angles, such as: front / front three-quarter / back / back three-quarter

🎨 Exploring coloring styles

This volume also examines how the final coloring style was chosen. It organizes the criteria needed to maintain a consistent visual style across a long-form work.

📖 What you will gain from this volume

- A practical workflow for character creation with generative AI - Ways of thinking that improve character reproducibility - A record of trial and error in Stable Diffusion - Verification logs for ControlNet and LoRA - A chance to relive the moment when a character begins to take shape This is the second volume in the Egaki-sho: Let’s Create! ZINE series.
