description	Generate visual assets for the SCBE/Aethermoore project — manhwa panels, character sheets, website hero images, social media cards, product diagrams, and marketing banners. Use when creating any visual content for the project.

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

1. Generate raw image with backend of choice.
2. Resize/crop to target dimensions (Pillow or ImageMagick).
3. For social cards: leave bottom-right 300x100 clear for text overlay.
4. For hero images: ensure focal point is center-weighted for responsive cropping.
5. Export as WebP (quality 90) for web, PNG for print/pitch decks.

from PIL import Image

# Resize for social card
img = Image.open("raw_hero.png")
card = img.resize((1200, 630), Image.LANCZOS)
card.save("social_card.webp", quality=90)

Guardrails

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