The numbers

AI Artist by the figures.

Every figure below is live in the product today — counted from the running code, not the marketing deck.

8modes

Generation surfaces.

Storyboard frame, poster, key art, concept, mood board, EPK still, lower-third, title card — each with its own prompt template, aspect ratio, and style stacking gate.

4custom slots

Your own artists.

Mitchell ships built-in. Up to 4 user-created custom artists per account — each with 3 named styles, 10 references per style, 30 total images per artist.

30references

Per custom artist bible.

3 style slots × 10 reference images = 30 per artist. Vision-locked at sync time, hash-cached on re-sync so unchanged bibles cost zero credits.

16:9+ 21:9 + 9:16

Aspect-ratio templates.

16:9 (storyboard), 21:9 (anamorphic), 9:16 (social), 1:1 (square) — each with its own safe-zone overlay and prompt-template optimisation.

PER-PROJECTlock

Same artist, different project, zero drift.

Style locks are scoped per-project so your Tuesday show and your Wednesday show never bleed into each other — even when both use the same Mitchell.

The pipeline

Where AI Artist sits in the production flow.

The on-model image factory. AI Artist sits between the shotlist (what to draw) and the storyboard editor (where the frame lives). Lock Mitchell or a custom artist for the project, generate the frame against a real scene, send to the editor with one click. Send-to-Animate flows the frame straight into the timeline.

Inside the app

Every shipped feature, fully wired.

Each block below maps a real shipped capability to the workflow it powers. No vapourware, no coming-soon.

Mitchell — our signature artist style with three canon modes

Mitchell is our in-house signature artist style — a stylistic profile, not a licensed person. Three canon modes — LINE (graphite line, no fill), TONE (line + grayscale marker wash), COLOUR (line + muted commercial watercolour wash). Each mode is Vision-locked against a canonical 10-PNG reference set, baked into every generation.

  • LINE — graphite line, paper grain, no fill
  • TONE — graphite line preserved + soft grayscale marker tone beneath
  • Colour — pencil line preserved + muted commercial watercolour wash
  • Vision-locked against 30 canonical PNGs (10 per style)
  • 55-item universal negative-prompt floor (no photorealistic, no anime, no comic-book inking, etc.)

Up to 4 custom artists — your own style bible, locked

Each user can mint up to 4 custom artists. Each artist has 3 user-named style slots (you choose the labels — "hand-drawn", "colour pop", "noir grade" — anything). Each style takes up to 10 reference images = 30 references per artist. GPT-4o Vision extracts the rules at sync time + locks them as the style.

  • Up to 4 custom artists per account
  • 3 user-named style slots per artist (your labels, not LINE/TONE/COLOUR)
  • 10 reference images per style — 30 per artist
  • GPT-4o Vision sync extracts rules; hash-cached re-syncs are free
  • Per-project style locks — zero drift between productions

Inpainting — surgical edits without re-generating the frame

Surgical inpaint live today from the Draw suite. Paint a mask with any brush, describe what should fill it, the AI replaces only the masked region while keeping the rest of the frame intact. Text-prompt or freeform mask. Same style lock applies.

  • Mask painted with any Draw brush (or freeform lasso)
  • Text-prompt the replacement — "add a window", "remove the prop"
  • Style lock preserved across the inpaint
  • Mask-only re-roll — keeps every untouched pixel byte-identical
  • Inpaint history per frame — every edit reversible

Character continuity engine — same face, every frame

Once a character is locked (Mitchell or custom), the engine maintains face + costume + hair + identifying details across every frame, every scene, every style mode. Anchored to the /cast row + character bible. Zero face-drift across a 200-frame deck.

  • Per-character lock anchored to /cast + character bible
  • Face + costume + hair + identifying details locked
  • Cross-scene continuity preserved
  • Per-style lock (the same character renders correctly in Mitchell Pencil + Mitchell Colour)
  • Stale-frame detection — when a scene heading is renamed, affected frames surface for review

Eight generation modes — beyond the storyboard frame

Storyboard frame, poster, key art, concept render, mood board, EPK still, lower-third, title card — eight modes, each with its own prompt template, aspect ratio, and style stacking gate. The same project context flows into every mode.

  • Storyboard frame (16:9 / 21:9 / 9:16 / 1:1)
  • Poster — 2:3 vertical, theatrical one-sheet, bottom 25% reserved for typography
  • Key art — 16:9 streaming hero, negative-space-aware
  • Concept — production-grade environment + character paintings
  • Mood board — 4-cell 2×2 reference grid on neutral grey
  • EPK still — photo-real press-kit, anamorphic lens flares
  • Lower-third + title card — TV graphics with transparent alpha

Project-aware context on every generation

Every generation reads the project context — synced via Dolly's 16-table parallel context fetch. Scene number, dialogue, action, character refs, location notes, mood setting, time of day. The prompt isn't just "a man at a table" — it's the specific man, the specific table, the specific scene, in the locked artist's voice.

  • 16-table parallel project context fetch on every prompt
  • Scene-anchored — character refs + location + mood injected
  • Hash-cached when project context unchanged — free re-runs
  • Continuity anchor injection — characters cross-scene-aware
  • Negative-rule stack — universal + per-style + per-mode

Frequently asked

Common questions about AI Artist.

Why "Mitchell" — who is he?

Mitchell is our signature in-house artist style — a stylistic profile that ships with the platform, not a licensed real-world artist. The three Mitchell modes (LINE / TONE / COLOUR) follow a line-first, wash-second commercial-storyboard technique, Vision-locked against 30 canonical reference frames so every generation reads consistently across a project.

Can I create my own artists?

Yes — up to 4 custom artists per account. Each artist has 3 user-named style slots (you choose the labels, not LINE/TONE/COLOUR). Each style takes up to 10 reference images = 30 references per artist. GPT-4o Vision extracts the rules at sync time + locks them. Hash-cached re-syncs are free.

Will the same character look the same in every frame?

Yes. The character continuity engine anchors face + costume + hair + identifying details to the /cast row + character bible. The lock survives across scenes + style modes — the same Sarah in scene 1 reads as the same Sarah in scene 200, in Mitchell Pencil + Mitchell Colour.

Can I edit a generated frame without regenerating from scratch?

Yes. Surgical inpaint live today from the Draw suite — paint a mask with any brush, describe what should fill it, the AI replaces only the masked region while keeping the rest of the frame intact byte-identical. Same style lock applies.

Does the AI Artist work in vertical or square ratios?

Yes. Four aspect-ratio templates: 16:9 (storyboard), 21:9 (anamorphic cinema), 9:16 (social), 1:1 (square). Each ratio has its own safe-zone overlay + prompt-template optimisation. The locked artist style applies identically across all four.

What happens if the style drifts over time?

Three drift signals — counter (every Nth generation), time-decay (synced more than 30 days ago), or images-analysed-mismatch (bible changed since last sync). When any fire, the UI surfaces "recalibrate" on the artist roster pill. One click, hash-cached if bible is unchanged.
