SCBE Art Generator
Generate visual assets across the full spectrum: narrative manhwa art, marketing materials, and technical diagrams.
Image Generation Backends
| Backend | Best For | Script |
|---|
| HF Inference (FLUX.1-schnell) | Manhwa panels, character sheets | scripts/gen_ch01_panels.py |
| Grok Image Gen | Quick concept art, style tests | scripts/grok_image_gen.py |
| Local Pillow/FFmpeg | Compositing, strips, video | scripts/assemble_manhwa_strip.py |
Manhwa Character Art
Existing pipeline for narrative panels and character sheets:
- Scene definitions in script dicts (extensible per chapter)
- 800px wide vertical webtoon format, sliced to 1280px max per segment
- Characters: Marcus Chen, Polly, Kael Nightwhisper (see
spiralverse_canon.md)
Website and Marketing Assets
Landing Page Hero Images
Dark tech aesthetic with SCBE visual language. Use for landing pages, README headers, pitch decks.
Prompt template — Poincare Disk Visualization:
A dark futuristic visualization of a Poincare disk model, glowing cyan and
violet geodesic lines curving inward on a black background, faint hexagonal
lattice overlay, particles flowing along hyperbolic paths toward a central
bright node, cinematic lighting, 16:9 aspect ratio, ultra-detailed digital art,
no text, no watermark
Prompt template — Lattice Defense Wall:
Abstract visualization of a 14-layer security pipeline, concentric geometric
shells radiating outward from a glowing core, each layer a different hue from
deep violet to electric blue to gold, crystalline lattice connections between
layers, dark void background with faint star field, hyper-detailed sci-fi
concept art, 16:9, no text
Prompt template — Sacred Tongues Tokenizer:
Six interconnected glowing spheres arranged in a golden-ratio spiral, each a
different color (crimson, amber, teal, violet, silver, gold), thin luminous
filaments connecting them in a 6D web, dark background with subtle geometric
patterns, abstract data visualization style, 16:9, no text, no watermark
Social Media Cards (1200x630 for Twitter/LinkedIn)
Designed for Open Graph previews and social sharing.
Prompt template — Product Announcement Card:
Wide banner image, dark gradient background from midnight blue to black,
geometric lattice pattern fading into the edges, central glowing orb with
concentric defense rings, subtle circuit-board traces in the background, clean
modern tech aesthetic, 1200x630 pixels, no text, no watermark
Prompt template — Blog Post Header:
Abstract digital art header, flowing data streams in cyan and magenta converging
on a hyperbolic surface, dark background, soft bokeh particles, futuristic
minimalist style suitable for a tech blog header, 1200x630, no text
Prompt template — Launch/Event Card:
Dramatic wide-angle view of a geometric fortress made of translucent hexagonal
panels, glowing from within with warm gold light, set against a deep space
background with nebula colors, epic sci-fi key art, 1200x630, no text
Product and Architecture Diagrams
For technical documentation, pitch decks, and README visuals.
Prompt template — Architecture Overview:
Isometric technical diagram style illustration, a vertical stack of 14
translucent platform layers connected by glowing data conduits, each layer a
different shade from violet at bottom to gold at top, clean white background
with subtle grid, modern infographic aesthetic, no text, no watermark
Prompt template — Agent Swarm Visualization:
Top-down view of a network of autonomous agents represented as glowing nodes
in a dark space, connected by pulsing data lines, a central shepherd node
larger and brighter, smaller worker nodes arranged in clusters, particle
effects along connections, dark background, technical visualization style,
no text
Prompt template — Governance Pipeline Flow:
Abstract flowchart visualization, data flowing left to right through colored
gates (green ALLOW, yellow QUARANTINE, orange ESCALATE, red DENY), each gate
a geometric archway with scanning beams, dark environment with volumetric
lighting, clean sci-fi UI aesthetic, 16:9, no text
Post-Processing Workflow
- Generate raw image with backend of choice.
- Resize/crop to target dimensions (Pillow or ImageMagick).
- For social cards: leave bottom-right 300x100 clear for text overlay.
- For hero images: ensure focal point is center-weighted for responsive cropping.
- Export as WebP (quality 90) for web, PNG for print/pitch decks.
from PIL import Image
img = Image.open("raw_hero.png")
card = img.resize((1200, 630), Image.LANCZOS)
card.save("social_card.webp", quality=90)

Guardrails
- All generated images must be no-text, no-watermark unless explicitly adding branded text in post-processing.
- Maintain consistent color palette: midnight blue, cyan, violet, gold, crimson.
- Never generate images depicting real people.
- Keep prompt templates versioned -- when a prompt produces good results, save it to
artifacts/marketing/prompt_log.jsonl.
