  • Natural language creation and refinement: Describe scenes like “telekinetic power awakening” or “Upside Down portal lighting” in plain English. If the result needs adjustment, click Refine and explain what to change—no prompt rewriting required.’
  • Deep Mode for consistent image series: Deep Mode lets you generate multiple images at once while keeping character appearance, style, and mood consistent—ideal for cinematic story sequences or themed visual collections inspired by Stranger Things.
  • Fast Mode for quick single images: When you only need one scene—such as a Hawkins street portrait or a psychic power moment—Fast Mode delivers results quickly and efficiently.
  • Designer aesthetics with technical accuracy: Beyond AI models, Mew Design integrates human design sensibility for clean composition and balanced layouts. Its code-based editing also ensures reliable text rendering, even for long-form designs like posters or academic-style visuals, without text hallucinations.

How to Write the Best Stranger Things Prompts

To get that authentic Stranger Things look, you need to use the right visual language. Here is a checklist of core visual elements to include in your prompts:

  • Color Palette: Use “neon red and cyan,” “80s warm nostalgia,” “Upside Down cold blue,” or “high contrast black and red” to set the mood immediately.
  • Special Effects: Keywords like “floating ash particles,” “red lightning,” “glowing veins,” “nosebleed,” and “crackling static energy” are essential for supernatural shots.
  • Creature Design: Be specific with monsters. Use terms like “Demogorgon flower-head,” “Mind Flayer shadow silhouette,” or “wet organic vines” to get the texture right.
  • Setting the Scene: Anchor your image with locations like “Starcourt Mall neon,” “Hawkins Lab hallway,” “Byers’ living room with Christmas lights,” or “The Void (black water floor).”
  • 80s Props: Don’t forget the details: “Walkman headphones,” “nail bat,” “BMX bikes,” “vintage arcade cabinets,” and “denim jackets” sell the era.

How to Write the Best Zootopia Prompts

Getting that movie-quality look requires more than just typing “fox and bunny.” Here is the formula I use to get consistent results:

1. Define the Medium: Don’t just say “Nick Wilde.” Specify if you want a “3D Disney-style render,” a “2D hand-drawn watercolor illustration,” or an “Anime-style screenshot.” This prevents the AI from mixing styles.

2. Focus on Textures: For realistic shots, use keywords like “subsurface scattering” (for translucent ears), “detailed fur texture,” and “soft cinematic lighting.” For illustrations, try “colored-pencil texture” or “watercolor wash.”

3. Use the “Selfie” Trick: For the selfie prompts below, the keyword “POV selfie-style shot” combined with “camera not visible” is crucial. It tells the AI to frame the shot intimately without trying to render a clumsy hand holding a phone.

Summary

From romantic watercolor dates to hyper-realistic selfies with your favorite characters, Gemini Nano Banana Pro offers endless possibilities for Zootopia fans. Whether you’re excited for the new reptiles in Zootopia 2 or just want to revisit the classic duo, these prompts will help you create consistent, high-quality fan art. Remember, the best results come from iterating—so jump into Mew Design, paste a prompt, and start building your own animal kingdom today.

20+ Gemini Nano Banana Pro Prompts for Manga: Copy & Paste

I used to spend hours sketching out rough storyboards and trying to get the shading right on my manga panels. But recently, I started using the Gemini Nano Banana Pro model, and it honestly changed my workflow. It understands the distinct difference between a Shonen action line and a Shojo sparkle in a way previous models just couldn’t grasp.

You can try these prompts directly in Gemini, but keep in mind you usually need a paid Gemini 3 Pro account to access the best image generation features. If you want to start creating without a subscription, I recommend checking out Mew Design. It’s a AI design agent platform powered by Nano Banana Pro and Gemini 3, but it’s tuned with real design aesthetics. You get free AI credits just for signing up, and you can generate single characters or entire batches of consistent comic panels using simple natural language.

How to Generate Manga/Comic with Gemini Nano Banana Pro

Generating manga requires more than just a good prompt; you need control over the output. While raw models are powerful, they often struggle with keeping a character looking the same across different panels. Here is a simple workflow using Mew Design to keep your characters consistent and your panels sharp.

Step 1: Go to Mew Design Log in to your Mew Design account. If you are new, you will automatically receive free AI credits upon registration to start testing the Nano Banana Pro model.

Step 2: Input Your Manga Prompt Go to the Design interface. You can type in natural language or paste one of the structured prompts from the list below. Choose either Fast Mode or Deep Mode depending on your needs. Fast Mode is ideal for generating a single detailed image, such as a manga character. Deep Mode is better for automatically creating a multi-image series. input your manga prompts

Step 3: Refine with Conversation This is the best part about using an AI design agent. If the generated result isn’t quite right—maybe the manga ink is too heavy or the character’s eyes are the wrong color—you don’t need to rewrite the whole prompt. Just click the Refine button and type a follow-up command like, “Make the lines thinner” or “Change the background to a sunset,” and Mew Design will edit the image for you. edit ai generated manga image

Step 4: Generate a Series For a comic, you need multiple panels. You can ask Mew Design to “Generate a series of xx vertical manga panels based on the same character in the reference image.” to quickly build out a full storyboard or comic strip without starting from scratch every time. generate comic with deep mode

How to Write the Best Gemini Nano Banana Pro Prompts for Manga & Comic

Getting the exact look you want for your comic isn’t just about describing the character; it’s about describing the medium and the layout. Nano Banana Pro needs to know you are making a comic, not a photograph.

Here is the basic formula I use: [Manga Sub-genre] + [Panel Description/Layout] + [Character Details & Dialogue] + [Artistic Technique/Medium] + [Ratio]

For example, instead of asking for “a boy playing soccer,” try: “Sports manga panel, low angle action shot, a boy with messy hair and a number 7 jersey kicking a soccer ball, shouting ‘Goal!’ in a jagged speech bubble, speed lines, sweat details, high contrast black and white ink. —ar 2:3”

Tips & Tricks for Generating Manga/Comic with Nano Banana Pro

  • Mind the Ratio: Use --ar 2:3 for standard manga pages, --ar 16:9 for cinematic wide panels, and --ar 9:16 for Webtoon style scrolling comics.
  • Define the “Ink”: If you want that authentic printed look, use keywords like “G-pen,” “Screen tone,” “Hatching,” or “Black and white ink.” Without these, the AI might give you a 3D render.
  • Dialogue Control: You can specify what characters are saying by adding phrases like speech bubble saying “Hello” in your prompt. However, for perfect text, it’s often better to generate empty bubbles and add the text later in Mew Design.
  • Panel vs. Illustration: Specify if you want a “Manga page layout” (which creates multiple boxes) or a “Full page illustration” (which creates one big image).

Summary

Creating manga art doesn’t have to be a struggle with anatomy or perspective anymore. With these Gemini Nano Banana Pro prompts, you can quickly generate storyboards, detailed character concepts, and finished panels. While Google’s tools are a great starting point, Mew Design offers a more focused experience for creators who need consistency and control.

20 DIY Calendar Ideas to Inspire Your 2026

Here are twenty unique concepts to help you create a meaningful custom 2026 calendar, featuring specific content angles and actionable advice.

1. The “Year in Review” Family Calendar

This is the quintessential personalized photo calendar. Instead of random photos, curate a “Year in Review” theme where each month features a memory from the same time last year. It becomes a beautiful timeline of growth, perfect for grandparents.

  • Content Tip: Use a photo of last year’s snowy backyard for January, and a beach shot from last July for this July. It creates a “then vs. now” timeline that beautifully illustrates how much your children or family have grown over the last 12 months.
  • Why it works: It turns your calendar into a family yearbook that celebrates the passage of time.
classic family photo calendar layout

Prompt: Create a calendar page for January 2026. Add the family photo I uploaded. Style: Classic white with gold borders. Clean, elegant typography. Ratio: 4:5

2. The Pet Personality Planner

Go beyond cute snapshots by capturing your pet’s unique quirks. This calendar celebrates the humor and joy animals bring to our daily lives by theming the visuals around their personality traits.

  • Content Tip: Match your pet’s “mood” to the month. Is February a “lazy” month? Use a photo of them sleeping in a funny position. Is October spooky? Use AI to generate an illustration of your cat wearing a wizard hat or your dog as a pumpkin.
  • Why it works: It captures the specific character of your pet, making you smile every time you check the date.
halloween themed cat calendar design

Prompt: A custom pet calendar page for October 2026. Visual: A cute cat wearing a small witch hat sitting on a pumpkin. Style: Whimsical cartoon illustration. Orange and black border.

3. Minimalist Typography Calendar

For the design-conscious, less is more. A minimalist calendar focuses on bold, clean numbers and ample negative space. It functions as a piece of modern art for your office, keeping the focus strictly on the date without visual clutter

  • Content Tip: Use the extra white space to write down only your three most important “Big Rocks” or goals for the month. This keeps your focus sharp and prevents the overwhelm of a crowded to-do list.
  • Why it works: It reduces visual noise, helping you focus on your top priorities.
modern black and white minimalist calendar

Prompt: A minimalist monthly calendar for 2026. Design: Black and white only. Huge, bold Helvetica font for the month name. Grid is simple lines. No illustrations.

4. Vintage Travel Poster Series

Turn your wall into a window to the world. Create a vintage style calendar where each month features a retro travel poster of a dream destination. Think grainy textures, muted colors, and 1950s typography advertising Paris in spring or the Alps in winter

  • Content Tip: Curate the destinations based on your dream itinerary for 2026. Feature ski destinations like the Swiss Alps in winter months and coastal towns like Amalfi in the summer. It serves as a visual vision board for your travel goals.
  • Why it works: It acts as a daily reminder of the adventures waiting for you, keeping you motivated.

Declutter your fridge and preserve your child’s creativity professionally. This makes a fantastic gift for relatives who want to see what the grandkids are creating.

Prompt: A motivational calendar for January 2026. Feature the quote ‘Fresh Start’ in bold, modern typography. Background: Abstract geometric shapes in calming sage green and cream.

FAQs About DIY Calendar

What is the best paper for printing DIY calendars? For a professional feel, use matte or semi-gloss cardstock (between 170-250 gsm). This weight is sturdy enough to hang on a wall without curling but flexible enough for spiral binding.

Can AI generate the calendar dates correctly? Yes. Advanced AI calendar generators like Mew Design possess real-world knowledge. They automatically place dates, days of the week, and holidays for 2026 correctly, so you never have to manually type in numbers.

How do I bind my DIY calendar? You have several options: use a simple binder clip for a minimalist hanging look, take your pages to a local print shop for professional spiral binding, or punch holes and use a nice ribbon for a rustic, handmade feel.

Is it cheaper to make my own calendar? Generally, yes. Creating a digital file with a free AI calendar maker and printing it locally is often much more affordable than buying high-end boutique calendars, plus it offers far more personalization and sentimental value.

Seedream‑4.5 Official Release: Real-World Prompt Tests and Results

Bytedance has officially released the new Doubao-Seedream-4.5 image generation model on Volcengine. After testing it with a variety of prompts and reference images, Seedream-4.5 feels like a solid, production-ready upgrade over Seedream 4.0, especially for editing, multi-image composition, and design use cases such as posters and logos.

Seedream 4.5 vs Seedream 4.0 (Internal evaluation for reference)

Below is a concise review from a product testing point of view.

What Is Seedream-4.5?

Doubao-Seedream-4.5 is Bytedance’s latest image creation model, available on Volcengine (Volcano Engine). It is designed for:

  • Multi-image composition and character continuity
  • High-fidelity photo editing with strong detail and tone preservation
  • Portrait beautification and small-face handling
  • Clear small-text generation for posters, UI, and branding
  • Better visual aesthetics and stronger reasoning for complex prompts

Compared with Seedream 4.0, version 4.5 aims to be both more controllable for editing and more creative for concept art and design.

1. Multi-Image Composition: Stable Character Continuity

One of the biggest upgrades is multi-image composition. In our tests, Seedream-4.5 reliably recognized the main subject across several input images and kept that subject visually consistent.

Test 1: Background replacement with multiple references

Prompt: “Replace the background of woman in image 1 with the seaside from image 2, and add two hot air balloons from image 3 in the sky.”

Reference image 3

seedream 4.5 test 1 result image

Result image

Result: The model kept the woman’s face, hairstyle, and clothing highly consistent with the source. The seaside background and hot air balloons blended naturally, with lighting and color adjusted to a coherent scene instead of looking copy-pasted.

Test 2: Merge multiple people into one scene with a reference style

Prompt: “Using the style of image 4, combine the characters from images 1, 2, and 3 into a single image.”

Reference image 1

seedream 4.5 test 2 reference image 3

Reference image 3

seedream 4.5 test 2 reference image 4

Reference image 4

seedream 4.5 test 2 result image

Result image

Result: Seedream-4.5 did well at preserving each person’s identity and expressions while unifying them into the target style. Skin tone, clothing, and posture were preserved, but the overall color palette, lighting, and texture matched the reference image’s style. Character continuity was noticeably more stable than typical multi-image models that often change faces or distort proportions between renders.

Overall, for creative workflows that need multiple reference images (moodboards, character sheets, product shots), the multi-image capability of 4.5 feels mature and reliable.

2. Extreme Original-Image Preservation: Faces, Lighting, and Details

Seedream-4.5 is also positioned as a strong editing model. In direct tests, it clearly improved over Seedream 4.0 in how well it keeps the original face, lighting, and detailed structure.

Subject consistency in portraits

Example prompt:

“Using image 1 as reference, generate a realistic street photography portrait: modern city street background, daytime, strong atmosphere, subject looking at the camera, natural light, clean background.”

seedream 4.5 test 3 reference image 1

Reference image

seedream 4.5 test 3 result image

Result image

Result: The generated image stayed very close to the original person’s facial structure and features. The lighting direction and skin tone remained consistent with the original, while the background and framing were updated as requested. The output looked like a real location shoot instead of a fully synthetic face.

Editing with objects and props

Example prompt:

“Using the orange cat’s front view as reference, generate a front-facing shot of the same cat wearing blue-light-blocking glasses and a plaid shirt, sitting at a desk in front of a computer. Its paws are randomly typing on a keyboard, with coffee cups and a stack of documents around. Precisely keep the orange fur color and chubby face, with photo-level realism.”

seedream 4.5 test 4 reference image 1

Reference image

seedream 4.5 test 4 result image

Result image

Result: The model preserved the cat’s fur color and face shape, and the added glasses, outfit, and office setting looked natural, not pasted on. Fur detail and lighting on the glasses were consistent with the scene, which is where many models break immersion.

Creative transformation while keeping the core object

Example prompt:

“Using the reference image’s volleyball concept, create a new creative volleyball-themed image.”

seedream 4.5 test 5 reference image 1

Reference image

seedream 4.5 test 5 result image

Result image

Result: The core idea of “volleyball” and the original visual style carried over, but the model produced a fresh composition instead of a simple copy. It seems to understand the concept beyond just copying pixels.

This makes Seedream-4.5 especially suitable as a “smart retouching tool” for photography, e-commerce, and brand assets: you can ask for big changes while keeping the identity and core features of the original subject.

3. Structure & Pose Preservation: Fine-Grained Editing

When asked to edit specific parts of an image while keeping the pose and overall geometry, Seedream-4.5 showed strong control.

Material and lighting change with fixed pose

Example prompt:

“Keep the model’s pose and the flowing shape of the liquid dress unchanged. Change the dress material from silver metal to completely transparent glass. Through the flowing water, we can see the skin details. Change the lighting from reflection to refraction.”

seedream 4.5 test 6 reference image 1

Reference image

seedream 4.5 test 5 result image

Result image

Result: The pose and silhouette remained almost identical to the input. The model successfully switched the material to a glass-like look, with believable refraction and skin visibility. The fact that it preserved both pose and liquid shape while changing material and lighting is a key sign of improved editing consistency.

Adding complex background elements

Example prompt:

“There is a floating ‘sky city’ behind the person: a floating island castle covered in greenery, European architecture, surrounded by clouds, in a fantasy style.”

seedream 4.5 test 7 reference image 1

Reference image

seedream 4.5 test 7 result image

Result image

Result: The main person stayed sharp and unchanged. The sky city integrated nicely with proper depth and atmospheric perspective, without deforming the subject or breaking edges. This balance of foreground preservation and background creativity is strong, especially for fantasy portrait posters.

These tests confirm Seedream-4.5’s strength in “surgical edits”: keep composition and pose, but change materials, environment, and effects.

4. Posters, Logos, and Small Text: Ready for Design Work

For design scenarios, Seedream-4.5 clearly targets professional layout and typography tasks.

Poster layout and branding

In our tests with poster-style prompts, Seedream-4.5 produced structured compositions with clear hierarchy: main visual, title, subtitle, and smaller copy all fit into well-balanced layouts. The framing rarely felt random, and there was a clear sense of foreground, midground, and background.

Small text clarity

Example prompt:

“Illustration style poster, several black round and cute cartoon characters, with “SHH HIDE AWAY” behind, and an English story in the lower right corner”

Seedream 4.5 Poster Generation with Small Texts

Result: Compared with Seedream 4.0, small text in Seedream-4.5 is more legible and less distorted. While you still should not expect fully controllable typography like a vector editor, the readability is good enough for many social media posters, marketing visuals, and mockups. For “quick design drafts” or art direction, this is very usable.

For teams that need fast visual prototypes of logos, brand visuals, and campaign posters, Seedream-4.5 offers a good trade-off between creative quality and text clarity.

5. Overall Aesthetics: Cinematic Look, Light & Shadow, Composition

From a pure image-quality perspective, Seedream-4.5 shows noticeable improvements in:

  • Cinematic quality: Many outputs have a film-like look with controlled contrast and color grading.

  • Light & shadow: Lighting feels more coherent with the scene. Reflections, highlights, and shadow directions are more natural, especially in metal, glass, and night scenes.

  • Composition: Framing is more deliberate. Subjects are usually placed with better balance, leading lines, and negative space. The results often look closer to professional photography or concept art than to “random AI art.”
