WEEKDAI 2 – Creating AI Characters with Generative AI

Mar 8, 2026

WEEKDAI Livestream No.2 – TOMLIN’S AI CHARACTERS, PART 1

In the second episode of WEEKDAI, we explore how we create AI-generated characters and turn them into structured assets that can be reused across different audiovisual projects.

WEEKDAI is our weekly live stream where we share experiments, workflows, and tools related to generative AI, creative technology, and next-generation audiovisual production.

Watch the full episode here.

Meet Two of Our TOMLIN CHARACTERS

In this stream we introduce two characters from our growing collection of TOMLIN CHARACTERS:

Maja – a Stockholm-based strategic thinker and underground DJ.
Tomasz – a charismatic late-50s creative with roots in skate and street culture.

These characters are part of our ongoing exploration of how AI-generated characters can become reusable visual assets for storytelling, visual prototypes, and future audiovisual projects.

 

From Character Image to Character Sheet

During the stream we demonstrate a simple character workflow:

  • Creating a base character using Recraft V4

  • Generating a character sheet with Nano Banana 2

  • Comparing how different AI models interpret the same character

  • Testing character consistency across multiple outputs

We also briefly show how we structure these experiments using ComfyUI pipelines, allowing us to iterate faster and experiment with different models and parameters.

 

Why We Do This

One of the biggest challenges with generative AI is character consistency.

By experimenting with structured workflows and model combinations, we explore how AI-generated characters can become repeatable and scalable assets, rather than one-off images.

This type of thinking also connects to our broader work with structured generative AI pipelines.

When it happens

WEEKDAI is our weekly live stream where we explore generative AI tools, workflows, and creative experiments.

We stream every Friday at 12:30 (CET) for about 30–35 minutes, sharing real workflows, ideas, and experiments from inside the studio.

Learn more about WEEKDAI.

 

Open, live, and a bit messy

Everything we generate during WEEKDAI is built inside of ComfyUI using both Closed source and Open source tools and models. The sessions are live, unscripted, and sometimes unpredictable, and that’s exactly the point.

If you’re curious about generative AI, ComfyUI, or how GenAI workflows and pipelines work in real creative workflows, we’d love to have you join.

See you there live!

People are missing this:

ComfyUI is the only tool in class positioned to ride the agent wave. Others are simply too closed off and unextensible. In a future where agents are integral to work, the artists who stuck with ComfyUI will be miles ahead of those who went elsewhere

WEEKDAI #3 → parametric prompting → full interior generation

No manual prompts.
Just structured inputs:
• Room type
• Style
• Time of day
→ system builds the scene
Then we decorate it + add characters.

In this episode of WEEKDAI, we continue developing our parametric character creation workflow using our custom GENERAITR node in ComfyUI. Instead of relying only on written prompts, we use a system of selectable parameters to generate characters in a more controlled and scalable way. During this session, we explore how to define and generate characters using parameters such as: • Age range, gender representation, and cultural style • Body build, facial features, and proportions • Hair, clothing, and accessories • Expression, gaze, and overall visual tone We set up and generate a bohemian, non-binary / masculine-leaning character in a 9:16 format, and use this as a base for testing as well as some other characters. We also compare outputs from two different AI image models: • Nano Banana 2 • Recraft V4 Running the same structured input across both models allows us to evaluate differences in: • Lighting behavior • Body proportions and stylization • Image cleanliness and flexibility for further processing Watch the stream to find out more.

WEEKDAI 4 — Parametric Character Creation in ComfyUI (Part 1)
In the third episode of WEEKDAI we explore how generative AI can be used to create interior visualisations enhanced with characters, combining spatial design and human presence in a single workflow. In this stream, we continue developing our TOMLIN CHARACTERS — Maja and Tomasz — by placing them inside a newly generated Scandinavian-style kitchen scene. The session focuses on how to generate an interior space through parametric prompting, then decorate it using GENERAITR's Interior Design system and finally integrate characters naturally into AI-generated interiors, balancing lighting, proportions, and composition for realistic results. During the stream we demonstrate our experimental workflow for AI-generated interior spaces: • Generating a full interior environment from scratch using our AI image generation system • Selecting parameters such as time of day, room style, and furniture design • Compositing characters into the scene using structured character sheets • Adjusting lighting, scale, and perspective for natural integration • Testing different AI models and comparing visual outcomes We also discuss the challenges of combining character generation and interior design, including maintaining consistent proportions, realistic lighting, and coherent visual identity across models. The stream showcases our ComfyUI-based pipeline, where we use presets and parametric controls for both environment and character layers. This structured approach allows us to iterate quickly, refine visual balance, and build reusable templates for future interior visualisation projects 1.

WEEKDAI 3 - Interior Visualisation With Characters, Part 1
WEEKDAI – Live Stream #2 | Creating AI Characters: Meet Maja & Tomasz In the second episode of WEEKDAI we explore one of the most exciting parts of generative AI production: creating AI-generated characters and building structured pipelines for consistent character design. In this stream we introduce two of our TOMLIN CHARACTERS — Maja and Tomasz — part of an expanding universe of AI-generated characters we are developing using different generative AI models and workflows. • Maja – a Stockholm-based strategic thinker and underground DJ • Tomasz – a charismatic late-50s creative with roots in skate and street culture These characters are part of our experiments in building reusable AI characters that can be used across images, videos, and interactive formats. During the stream we demonstrate our character creation workflow: • Creating the main character image using the closed-source AI model Recraft V4 • Generating structured character sheets using Nano Banana 2 • Comparing stylistic differences between the models • Testing character consistency and visual identity across outputs We also discuss some of the typical challenges when generating characters with AI, including identity drift, body-type bias, eye artifacts, and other model failure modes that appear when iterating on characters. The stream also includes a look at our ComfyUI pipeline, where we use presets and parametric controls for things like character identity, body positioning, styling, and scene context. This structured workflow allows us to swap models, iterate quickly, and generate consistent assets for character development. Generated assets are automatically synced to Dropbox for versioning, review, and collaboration as part of our production workflow.

WEEKDAI 2 - CHARACTER CREATION IN COMFYUI
WEEKDAI 2 - TOMLIN'S AI CHARACTERS, PART 1
This video presents the remaining four material hearts from the 2026 edition of VALENTAINS. In this sequence, you will see: • Earth and Soil • Marble Stone • Leather • Rough Stone Each heart beats. Pressure builds. The material surface reacts. It cracks, unfolds, splits, or gives way, revealing the red heart within. This is the symbolic core of VALENTAINS. Love beneath the surface. Softness inside hardness. Warmth breaking through. VALENTAINS is a recurring generative AI project by TOMLIN STUDIO, returning every Valentine’s Day with new interpretations of the same idea. Created entirely using Open Source AI models, structured inside ComfyUI pipelines, and executed on EU-based servers. 📖 Explore the full 2026 edition: https://www.tomlinstudio.com/project/valentains_2026 💬 Join our Discord TOMLIN & FRIENDS to participate in our WEEKDAI live AI sessions and access Zoom links: https://discord.com/invite/ar4QhAfyvd 🔗 All links and projects: https://linktr.ee/tomlinstudio #valentains #ValentinesDay #GenerativeAI #OpenSourceAI #ComfyUI #TOMLINSTUDIO #CreativeAI #GenAI #AIgenerated
❤️ VALENTAINS 2026, Part 2
This video features five of the material hearts from the 2026 edition of our recurring generative AI love project, VALENTAINS. In this sequence you will see: • Red Stone • Ice • Paper • Concrete • Ceramic Each heart begins as a solid material form. It beats. The surface responds. Cracks follow the rhythm. Then the material breaks, melts, crumbles, or shatters, revealing a warm red heart at its core. Hearts find a way. VALENTAINS is our annual Valentine’s Day ritual where structured generative AI pipelines meet symbolism, warmth, and human intention. Built using Open Source AI models for image, video, audio, and music generation. Structured in ComfyUI workflows and executed on EU-based servers. 📖 Read more about the full VALENTAINS 2026 project: https://www.tomlinstudio.com/project/valentains_2026 💬 Join our Discord TOMLIN & FRIENDS to get notifications about WEEKDAI livestreams and participate live via Zoom: https://discord.com/invite/ar4QhAfyvd 🔗 All links: https://linktr.ee/tomlinstudio #VALENTAINS #ValentinesDay #GenerativeAI #OpenSourceAI #ComfyUI #TOMLINSTUDIO #CreativeAI #GenAI #AIgenerated
