FAQ.
What does the noir style actually look like?+
Extreme high-contrast black and white, deep black shadow fill, hard silhouettes, cinematic widescreen panels, and hardboiled caption-box narration — the noir house style. Our noir comic style guide breaks down every element.
Is noir strictly black and white?+
By default, yes — black, white, and gray with no soft mid-tones. If you want the Sin City trick of a single spot color, ask for it in the prompt ("everything monochrome except her red dress") and the AI will usually honor it.
How do I write hardboiled caption-box narration?+
Keep it first person, present tense, and short: "The rain didn't care. Neither did I." Put the narration in the caption box and let the panel carry the rest — noir dialogue is sparse on purpose.
Can I keep my detective's look consistent across a whole case?+
Yes — design your character once in Character Maker, then reuse the same silhouette and features across every panel of the story.
Can I make noir in manga format instead of a Western comic?+
Yes. Noir lives in Comic Maker (left-to-right, Western layout), but the Seinen style in Manga Maker gives you the same heavy shadow and sparse dialogue in a right-to-left screentone format.
