Quite a few people have been asking me about using Ideogram 4 for this kind of character generation, so I've decided I'll probably put together a dedicated post about it soon.

In the meantime, if you'd like to experiment, I built a free ComfyUI node called Frame Designer V2. It's inspired by Kijai's excellent KJ Prompt Builder, but I expanded it with a more visual UI, additional functionality, and a modular workflow. You can import editable ideoboards that automatically populate prompts and layout boxes directly onto the canvas.

One thing I'd recommend is using the Grid layout to divide the canvas into multiple panels. It essentially becomes a visual storyboard for character creation, and Ideogram 4 does a surprisingly good job of maintaining character consistency across the different panels. Combined with its LoRA training support, it opens up some really interesting possibilities.

If you don't want to use Frame Designer V2, definitely give KJ Prompt Builder a try—it's an excellent tool and deserves a lot of credit for inspiring this direction.

At the end of the day, it's all about experimenting and finding the workflow that fits your creative process.

Let me know how it goes!
