Style prompt guide

Style traits to keep

A charming two-panel narrative illustration depicts a humorous elevator encounter between two plant-carrying passengers. GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst renders clean, editorial ink linework alongside harmonious muted colors, balancing expressive character silhouettes with precise speech bubble lettering that stays crisp and legible within the vertical layout.

The editorial comic aesthetic relies on graphic restraint, distinctive color blocking, and refined ink contours rather than photographic shading.

Line
Clean editorial penwork uses uniform, deliberate ink contours to separate characters and dense foliage without heavy feathering or messy hatching.
Palette
The pairing of mustard yellow, plum, cream, and mint creates a soft mid-century modern aesthetic that keeps the busy plant leaves readable.
Light
Soft overhead lighting provides gentle ambient illumination without harsh drop shadows, preserving flat, modern graphic shapes.
Composition
A stacked two-panel sequence builds an immediate visual punchline, using eye-level facial framing amidst dense botanical obstacles.

What defines this look

  1. Layout and character setupVertical 4:5 portrait frame. A two-panel comic shows an older woman in a mustard coat entering an elevator

    It locks the vertical comic strip format and introduces the first character, establishing the narrative progression across stacked panels. Omitting this causes the model to generate a single chaotic scene instead of a sequenced visual story.

  2. Visual contrast and humorwith one small cactus, then meeting a young man in plum overalls carrying an enormous fern that fills the cabin.

    It contrasts tiny versus giant foliage and sets up complementary wardrobe hues. Removing these contrasting plant sizes ruins the comic gag and leaves the elevator composition feeling empty.

  3. Eye-level focal pointTheir faces peek through the foliage at the same eye level.

    It aligns the characters' expressions directly through the dense greenery to sell the shared moment. Changing this scatters their gaze and weakens the humorous connection between the passengers.

  4. Stylistic rendering and paletteClean editorial penwork, cream steel walls, soft overhead light and mint leaves,

    It specifies the indie graphic novel aesthetic, defining smooth line weights and gentle pastel tones. Without these terms, the renderer defaults to generic 3D digital art or hyper-detailed photorealism.

  5. Dialogue bubble constrainta single bubble reading "ROOM FOR ONE MORE", no other text.

    It guides Sunburst to render an exact punchline while preventing random gibberish or stray letters from cluttering the comic panels.

Same style, new subjects

Dog park bench

Applies the two-panel editorial comic style to a humorous dog park encounter with contrasting dog sizes.

Prompt

Clean editorial penwork, muted olive grass, soft overhead light and slate sky, a single bubble reading "IS THIS SEAT TAKEN", no other text.

Rainy bus shelter

Transposes the comic format and clean line aesthetic into an awkward urban commute scenario.

Prompt

Vertical 4:5 portrait frame. A two-panel comic shows a commuter in an ochre trench coat holding a small folded umbrella, then stepping aside as an artist carrying a giant canvas squeezes under the shelter. Clean editorial penwork, steel blue rain, soft overhead light and wet pavement, a single bubble reading "PARDON MY CORNER", no other text.

Kitchen countertop

Translates the narrative comic style to a comedic culinary still-life escalation.

Prompt

Vertical 4:5 portrait frame. A two-panel comic shows an empty cutting board beside one tiny chili pepper, then overwhelmed by an enormous mountain of chopped onions surrounding a chef. Clean editorial penwork, sage tile walls, soft overhead light and copper pans, a single bubble reading "NEED MORE ONIONS", no other text.

Model and settings

Keep the mode as text-to-image with the quality set to high so that fine linework and speech bubble text remain crisp and artifact-free. Use the 4:5 portrait aspect ratio to give the stacked two-panel comic sufficient vertical room to breathe without compressing character silhouettes. If you want to create a wider horizontal comic strip or banner, switch the aspect ratio to 16:9 or 3:2 and adjust panel prompts accordingly.

  • Nano Banana ProNano Banana Pro is ideal if you want to expand the scene into multi-panel layouts or denser speech bubble sequences, as its layout-planning capabilities excel at structured graphic narratives.
  • FLUX.2 ProFLUX.2 Pro is a strong alternative when you need strict hex-coded color harmony across the mustard, plum, and mint palette while preserving sharp typographical lettering.

When the style drifts

The style washes out into generic 3D digital art or hyper-detailed rendering.
Reinforce graphic linework by adding 'flat 2D vector fills, crisp ink outlines' and removing any lighting words that imply realistic ray tracing.
The image merges into one single chaotic frame instead of two distinct panels.
Change the opening to 'A stacked two-panel comic strip with a crisp horizontal gutter line separating top and bottom scenes'.
The speech bubble contains scrambled letters or extra random typography.
Ensure the bubble text is enclosed in strict quotation marks and keep the phrase 'no other text' at the very end of your prompt.

Questions about this style prompt

How do I prevent the model from generating gibberish text in comic panels?

Put the exact dialogue inside quotation marks and explicitly specify 'no other text' at the end of the prompt. GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst handles short phrases accurately when instructed not to invent background typography.

Why did the elevator plants overpower the characters' faces?

Ensure you keep the phrase specifying that faces peek through at eye level. If foliage obscures key expressions, describe the character positions first and specify clear gaps between the leaves.

Can I change the panel count to three or four panels?

Yes, but you should adjust the aspect ratio to a taller format or horizontal banner and describe each panel's action sequentially using clear transition markers like 'First panel shows... Second panel shows...'.
