Below is a focused Midjourney prompt pack tailored for a serial comedy: an unlucky apprentice demon-hunter paired with a narcissistic fox spirit. It’s designed to generate visually consistent art that inspires chapter outlines, dialogue sparks, and storyboard descriptions. Replace bracketed variables with your episode-specific details. Keep seeds and palettes consistent to preserve continuity across episodes.
How to use
- Swap bracketed variables for your episode. Keep the same seed for consistency across all prompts of one episode.
- For text-like elements, use graphic symbols and shapes. Midjourney is unreliable at rendering readable text; lean on icons, numbers, and expressive props.
- To keep the tone light and comedic, use bouncy lighting, squash-and-stretch motion cues, and bright palettes. Control variation with --chaos; detail with --stylize.
Master Visual Bible: Character Design Sheet (run once to lock designs)
Prompt:
Two-character design sheet, cel-shaded anime-comedy with dynamic smear frames, expressive line weight and soft bloom highlights, full-body turnarounds, face expression grid, prop callouts — Character A: unlucky apprentice demon-hunter, late teens, rumpled charm-laced robe patched with talisman scraps, messy hair like a stormcloud, satchel jangling with paper seals and a squeaky “lucky” rubber-duck talisman, faint slapstick aura of misfortune (floating bandages, slipping shoelace), palette: dill green, rust, parchment, accent teal — Character B: narcissistic fox spirit partner, elegant yet flashy, 3–9 shimmering tails arcing like stage spotlights, immaculate kimono-meets-streetwear hybrid, mirror used as scepter, foxfire that pops like a camera flash, gold eyes that love the lens, diva posture and runway hands, palette: lacquer red, gold, pearl, accent fuchsia — clean turntable poses, neutral backgrounds, label shapes only (no readable text), cinematic rim light, glossy lacquer textures vs. scuffed fabric contrast, high bounce light, cute mini-props: mirror compacts, tail combs, bent incense sticks, paper umbrellas — coherent style reference across all episodes — no gore, no photoreal logos --ar 3:2 --stylize 150 --chaos 10 --seed [MasterSeed]

- Title Card + Chapter Outline Mosaic
Purpose: One image that suggests the episode’s rhythm and chapter beats using icons and mini-panels. Use icons and expressive vignettes instead of text.
Prompt:
Vibrant episodic title card for [EP_TITLE], comedic supernatural buddy series featuring Character A (hapless apprentice demon-hunter) and Character B (narcissistic fox spirit), set in [LOCATION] under [WEATHER], color story: Character A (dill green, rust, parchment), Character B (lacquer red, gold, pearl) — mosaic layout: 8 mini-panels as chapter beads in one frame, each a bold iconographic beat:
1 Teaser omen: a twitching paper talisman over a puddle reflecting neon tails
2 Inciting trouble: [MONSTER_OF_THE_WEEK] glimpsed in a warped shop window
3 Bad plan A: charms taped on wrong side, mirror gleam blinds allies
4 Botch: slapstick spill, umbrellas blossom like jellyfish
5 Midpoint reversal: [REVERSAL] hinted by a shadow peeling from the ground
6 Low point: drenched, talismans soggy, foxfire flickers
7 Madcap Plan B: improvised trap built from [SIGNATURE_PROP]
8 Tag twist: a sly tail swish reveals a second secret
Graphic numbers as big shapes, no readable text; speech-bubble silhouettes empty; running gag motif: [RUNNING_GAG] recurring as tiny stamps in corners; playful parallax depth, warm rim light, rain sparkle bokeh, squash-and-stretch motion lines, cozy comedy not horror — no blood, no photoreal branding --ar 16:9 --stylize 175 --chaos 12 --seed [SEED]
- Dialogue Spark Keyframes (Two-Shot Banter Panels)
Purpose: Generate four square panels that capture the pair’s comedic chemistry and verbal snap through pose, expression, and prop beats.
Prompt:
Four-panel grid, tight two-shots alternating over-shoulders, expressive anime-comedy closeups — Character A: sheepish, flustered, rain-slick hair; Character B: glowy, vain, camera-ready with mirror scepter — location: [LOCATION], [WEATHER], neon puddle reflections — panel beats:
A) A tries to look competent; a talisman sticks to his own cheek; B smirks, tails forming a photogenic halo
B) B strikes a dramatic pose; foxfire flashes like paparazzi; A winces as a streetlight pops (running gag: [RUNNING_GAG])
C) Accidental near-kiss framing as they both duck a flying [SIGNATURE_PROP]; comedic smear frame
D) Surprise empathy: B shields A with a tail-parasol; A blushes, pretends it’s strategy
Empty speech-bubble shapes implied, no readable text; punchy rim light, glossy rain beads, soft glow highlights, cel-shaded lines; keep it buoyant and charming; no gore, no legible logos --ar 1:1 --stylize 160 --chaos 15 --seed [SEED]
- Storyboard Thumbnails: Comedy Action Beatboard
Purpose: A 12-frame strip that maps the episode’s visual flow from establishing to comedic resolution.
Prompt:
Twelve storyboard thumbnails on a single page, clean white margin with sticky-note shapes (no readable text), playful marker lines and greyscale-with-spot-color approach — location: [LOCATION] in [WEATHER] — palette accents: Character A (dill green), Character B (gold-red), the monster motif color contrasting — frames:
1 Wide establishing: lantern-lit lanes, ribbons of rain, paper charms flapping
2 Meet-cute bicker: two-shot over puddle mirror
3 Monster reveal: [MONSTER_OF_THE_WEEK] peeks from misaligned umbrellas
4 Bad plan prep: A maps talismans; wrong orientation gag
5 Chase erupts: umbrellas bloom, tails sketch speed arcs
6 Slip-stick: A skids; B photobombs their own near-disaster
7 Midpoint reversal visual: [REVERSAL] foreshadowed as the ground-light peels like a sticker
8 Low point silhouette: drenched, sagging charms, mirror dim
9 Brainwave: B frames the scene like a director; A spots [SIGNATURE_PROP]
10 DIY trap: comedic Rube Goldberg with noodles, crates, paper seals
11 Snap and flip: foxfire flash; monster turns helper or reveals misunderstanding
12 Tag: quiet rooftop noodle slurp; running gag [RUNNING_GAG] pops one last time
Energetic arrows and motion lines, chunky ink, subtle watercolor bleed, high bounce light, cozy comedy tone — avoid gore, no legible text --ar 16:9 --stylize 140 --chaos 10 --seed [SEED]
Optional: Monster-of-the-Week Design Card
Prompt:
Creature concept sheet for [MONSTER_OF_THE_WEEK], endearing not terrifying, exaggerated silhouette readable at a glance, visual gag built-in tied to [CONFLICT] — front, profile, expression row, size compare with Characters A and B — materials: lacquered shell, soggy paper, neon plastic, etc. — prop interactions: steals [SIGNATURE_PROP], reacts to foxfire like paparazzi — friendly palette splashes, annotated arrows as shapes only, no readable text — cute asymmetry, squash-and-stretch — no gore --ar 3:2 --stylize 150 --chaos 12 --seed [SEED]
Continuity and control tips
- Keep a master seed for character sheets. Use a dedicated episode seed per episode; reuse it across all prompts for that episode.
- Lock palettes to maintain identity: A (dill green, rust, parchment, teal), B (lacquer red, gold, pearl, fuchsia).
- Lighting recipe for comedy: warm key, cool fill, glossy rain bokeh, soft bloom on foxfire.
- Use --no photoreal text, --no blood, --no hypergore for safe tone.
- If scenes get too busy, lower --stylize to 100 and --chaos to 5.
Example filled variables for Episode 01
- EP_TITLE: Soot On My Aura

- SIGNATURE_PROP: a mirror-finish noodle pot lid that doubles as a reflector
- SEED: 874321
