Introduction
Hello, I’m Easygoing!
In this article, I’ll introduce seven amazing Note creators whose work serves as fantastic inspiration for AI illustration.
Illustration World-Building
First, let’s dive into creators who craft unique worlds through their AI illustrations.
Hajime Saimachi
Tools Used: SDXL Anime Model, Google Imagen, nano-banana, Flux.1
The first creator I highly recommend for AI illustration is Hajime Saimachi and their manga I Can’t Do Architecture.
Hajime, an architect, creates a manga series about residential design—a topic unfamiliar to many—presented in an accessible and engaging story format.
- Realistic (yet fantastical) storytelling
- Lively, expressive characters
- Intricate background details and varied effects
The manga is available on Kindle, with 15 chapters currently published. The illustrations are meticulously crafted, with high-quality panel layouts, text placement, and effects created using Clip Studio Paint.
The overwhelming quality feels almost too good for free content.
Additionally, the appendix at the end of each volume includes character expression and outfit variations, a unique feature of AI-generated work that adds extra enjoyment.
Shiki
Tools Used: Leonardo AI, DALL-E 3, GPT-Image-1, Suno, Udio
Next, I’d like to introduce Shiki, a creator who uses AI to produce both illustrations and music.
Shiki masterfully expresses a unique world through color, and their work was the first time I truly felt art in AI illustrations.
- Dreamy illustrations with stunning color palettes
- Passionate vocal tracks created with Suno
- Gentle fantasy themes paired with healing music
Shiki shares their music on their YouTube channel, and I’ve had the pleasure of using one of their tracks as BGM for a video. Each piece beautifully reflects Shiki’s unique world-building.
Yuki
Tools Used: ComfyUI, SDXL Anime Model, Flux.1, Qwen-Image, Wan 2.2
Yuki primarily creates using ComfyUI and Qwen-Image.
- Early adopter of Qwen-Image on Note
- Near-futuristic cyberpunk and mechanical girl themes
- Freely shares ComfyUI workflows
Yuki was the first to introduce Qwen-Image, now a staple in license-free AI image generation, on Note (link).
Recently, Yuki has focused on a consistent cyberpunk mechanical girl theme, making their Note an excellent resource for comparing model features.
They also share simple, clear ComfyUI workflows, so checking their posts for new workflows is a great way to experiment with new models.
Tsumiki
Tools Used: ComfyUI, SDXL Anime Model, Wan 2.2
Tsumiki creates using ComfyUI and SDXL anime models. Their work depicts a slightly dark near-futuristic world, starring Pale, an exploration cyborg with an exposed skeletal structure, and Neko-ko, a cybernetic assassin.
They also feature a dandy bald uncle, though he’s appeared less frequently lately.
Tsumiki conducts unique experiments with AI image generation, particularly with detailed comparisons of Sampler and Scheduler settings, making their Note an invaluable resource for understanding image generation parameters.
Asunaro0000
Tools Used: ComfyUI, SDXL Anime Model, Qwen-Image, Wan 2.2
Asunaro0000 also writes about AI illustration using ComfyUI.
- Advanced masking techniques for detailed rendering
- Noise control to blend multiple illustrations seamlessly
- Soft, gentle color palettes
Asunaro0000 shares techniques like combining multiple illustrations into a single artwork and enhancing SDXL-based illustrations with Qwen-Image for greater polish, offering valuable insights for creating original illustrations.
Their use of soft colors to create a cohesive world is also remarkable.
Technical Insights
Next, let’s explore two creators who write in-depth technical articles about AI image generation.
Shiba*2
Tools Used: Paperspace, ComfyUI, Stable Diffusion webUI, SDXL, Flux.1, Qwen-Image, HiDream, Chroma, Wan 2.2, Hunyuan Video, optimization techniques, and more
Shiba*2 writes extensive articles exploring AI image generation.
- Early testing of cutting-edge AI tools
- Freely shared ComfyUI workflows
- Practical guides on using Paperspace
Shiba*2 consistently delivers detailed reviews of the latest AI tools, making their Note a must-read for staying up-to-date.
They also provide in-depth tutorials on using Paperspace, a cloud GPU service, which I haven’t personally used but find well-explained.
Shiba*2 has also shared a custom node for converting illustrations to ASCII art, which adds a fun and creative twist to regular illustrations.
GJL
Tools Used: ComfyUI, Stable Diffusion webUI, Ultimate SD Upscale, SDXL, Flux.1, Qwen-Image, Wan 2.2, optimization techniques, and more
GJL provides detailed insights into the latest AI image and video generation technologies.
- Expert-level, in-depth technical articles
- Extensive correction scripts
- Freely available ComfyUI workflows
ComfyUI’s frequent updates often cause compatibility issues, but GJL shares a vast number of correction scripts to address these challenges.
While GJL’s articles are highly technical, their illustration theme—adorable rabbits—creates a delightful contrast. Their 8K upscaled illustrations reveal stunning quality when zoomed in.
