About heroink
A comic of you, made properly.
heroink turns one photo and a few sentences into a printed comic where you are the hero. Not a generic AI illustration. Not a 4-panel meme. A real, multi-page comic with a story arc, a locked character likeness, and pages that hold together as a sequence.
The best comics feel oddly personal. Seeing yourself, your child, your partner, or even your dog appear consistently across a real story has a strange effect — it stops feeling like "AI images" and starts feeling like something made specifically for you.
Your photo, your terms
Photos anchor the character likeness — they aren't sold, shared, or used to train models. They sit in encrypted storage attached to your order, and you can delete your account and uploads on request.
Why this exists
Image generation is easy now. Consistent storytelling is not.
Try building a personalised comic with a generic AI tool and you'll hit the same wall every time: your face changes every panel. The costume drifts. The setting wanders. The story doesn't track.
heroink is the layer that fixes that — a screenplay engine, a character consistency engine, a continuity tracker, and a render pipeline that's been told who you are and won't forget halfway through Chapter Four. The output is a comic, not a gallery.
Why not just roll your own?
You can. The model APIs are there. Here's what you'd be signing up for:
- ·Prompt engineering at scale. Every page needs the right setting, wardrobe, cast, and beat — with the same character description threaded through all of them.
- ·Reference handling. Image-edit endpoints accept photos as anchors, but you pay per reference per page. Doing it cheaply means anchoring properly from the cover onward.
- ·A screenplay model. Pages without a plot are illustrations. heroink uses a separate text model to plan story beats before the renderer ever fires.
- ·A continuity engine. Wardrobe changes, time of day, location shifts — they all need tracking so page seven doesn't put you in a different jacket.
- ·A safety net. Models occasionally refuse, drift, or produce broken output. heroink retries failed pages, softens panels that trip a content filter, and lets you re-render single panels without scrapping the whole book.
We've spent months on the boring parts. The interface is "upload a photo, type a sentence" — everything behind it is the work you'd rather not do.
What you can make
Things people actually use heroink for:
Birthday gifts
A friend's hen do, a kid's 8th, your mum's 60th — turn them into the hero of their own adventure. Way better than another candle.
Wedding & engagement gifts
A bespoke comic about the couple's story — how they met, the in-jokes, the dog. Lasts longer than a card.
Leaving-do roasts
The colleague who always brings the cake. The boss who always lost the cake. Make them the legendary central figure of a comic everyone signs.
Kids' bedtime stories
Your child as the dragon-tamer, the football star, the explorer. Adult or kid audience setting changes the tone.
Stag / hen mementos
The story of the weekend, fictionalised just enough to be shareable with everyone.
Pet-as-hero comics
Your dog as the detective. Your cat as the time-traveller. Photos of the actual pet, dropped straight in.
What we won't help you build
heroink runs through content moderation — both on what you type and on the images we render. We'll soften, sanitise, or refuse outright if you push in any of these directions:
- ✕Anyone under 18 in sexual / suggestive contexts — full stop. Photos of children are fine, the content built around them must stay age-appropriate.
- ✕Real, identifiable people without their consent in a sexual, defamatory, or harassment context. Your photo, your story — not a comic to humiliate your ex.
- ✕Public figures, politicians, celebrities shown saying or doing things they didn't say or do, where the comic is designed to mislead.
- ✕Hate, harassment, incitement targeting protected groups — race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability.
- ✕Graphic violence, gore, self-harm content. Cartoon mishaps fine; horror-comic dark stuff fine; instructions for harm or glorification, no.
- ✕Illegal activity presented as a how-to. Heists in a comic, sure. Real instructions, no.
- ✕Reselling generated pages as standalone AI art. Buy a comic, give a comic — don't strip the pages and resell them as your own original work.
We log moderation interventions. Repeat attempts to push past the filter get accounts suspended.
A note on AI
The art, story, and panels are AI-generated. We use the models as professional tools, the same way an illustrator uses brushes — but the output is genuinely synthesised, not hand-drawn.
Some pages will feel magical, occasionally one will feel off. We give you re-render credits for the latter, and we keep tightening the pipeline.
