AI-Assisted Art & Experiments

I use AI tools as part of my creative process to explore new forms of storytelling, character design, and motion. Rather than replacing creativity, I treat AI as a collaborator that helps me iterate faster, experiment with aesthetics, and push visual ideas beyond traditional workflows.

Animated IP for Social Media
​at Loud Tea Studio 

Tool: Sora 2, Chatgpt

I’m working with Loud Tea Studio to build an original animated IP for ACG fans. We’re starting with short-form videos for TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts to introduce the characters and world.

Because traditional animation can take months to produce, we’re experimenting with AI tools to speed up our creative process. After the concept artist finishes the character designs, we brainstorm story ideas and turn them into written prompts. I then use Sora 2 to generate visual and motion concepts, which help us explore new directions before going into full production.

AI Video Development Process

First Test Video

Prompt:

 

A cute female anime-style character sits in a dimly lit analog horror-style office. The atmosphere feels eerie yet cozy, with old monitors flickering softly and a large retro screen glowing behind her. She is focused, typing on her computer as the faint hum of electronics fills the room.

 

Suddenly, a small robotic whale floats in, its LED fins blinking as it gently bumps into her chair’s armrest. She pauses, surprised for a moment, then smiles warmly. With a soft chuckle, she reaches out and pets the little whale as it hovers happily beside her, the screen’s glow reflecting in both their eyes.

Based on the character Mono's concept art, I gave the artwork to AI and re-write a new prompt.

Prompt: 

A cute female anime-style character sits in a dimly lit analog horror-style office. The atmosphere feels eerie, with old monitors flickering softly and a large retro screen glowing behind her. She is focused, typing on her computer as the faint hum of electronics fills the room.

In the next shot, Suddenly, a small robotic whale floats in, its LED fins blinking as it gently bumps into her chair’s armrest. She pauses, surprised for a moment, then smiles warmly. 

Suddenly the entire video glitches for a second and we can see the whale turned into a scary dark monster. 

However then the video turns back to normal. We see the girl is sitting at the same place. With a soft chuckle, she reaches out and pets the little whale as it hovers happily beside her, the screen’s glow reflecting in both their eyes. The shot switch to an over the head shot, slowly panning away.

AI-Assisted Comic Video for Social Media
​at New Vision Creative Studio 

Tool: OpenArt AI, Chatgpt, Dreamina AI, ElevenLabs

OddZooParty is a short-form comic series on TikTok that highlights cute couple stories and sweet moments with unexpected twists. I manage the entire process—from story concept and scripting to final art—using AI tools like ChatGPT for story ideas, OpenArt AI for background generation, and Dreamina AI for adding animation and movement.

Within just 10 posts, OddZooParty reached over 19k likes, demonstrating both the creative appeal of the series and the efficiency of using AI-assisted production to deliver engaging, high-quality storytelling.

AI-Assisted Comic Video Example

I started by creating the characters, then developed the story and storyboard around them. Once the concept was approved by the team, I illustrated the scenes in Procreate and Photoshop, focusing on expressive poses and visual rhythm. After completing the artwork, I used various AI tools to add animation and motion, bringing the comic panels to life with a dynamic, short-form storytelling style.

Another AI-Assisted Comic Example

This short comic project is inspired by my real dating experience in New York City. After creating the characters, I developed the story and storyboard. Once the idea was approved by my team, I drew the final art in Procreate and Photoshop. To capture authentic scenes, I photographed real NYC locations to use as panel backgrounds. I then wrote prompts and used ChatGPT to help transform those photos into anime-style images. This AI-assisted workflow shortened the production timeline and gave the project a stronger, more cinematic visual direction.

Real-Life Photo vs. ChatGPT-Generated Image

Prompt Example: Restyle this NYC sunset crossing image with a detailed anime aesthetic: smooth cel-shaded coloring, and clean linework. Emphasize emotion and character presence, with a sense of motion or atmosphere typical of anime scenes. No need to add human
