      Make it yours

      Give your agent the brief, author a workflow, or start by using the finished assets.

      FX guide Workflow source
      Build an FX workflow that turns my synopsis and 1this poster into a small illustrated world. Use the synopsis for facts and the poster for visual direction. Review the proposed entities before drawing them, then review each illustration independently. Keep rejected studies and their reasons visible. Plan offline before asking for a live budget.

      How it comes together

      A poster gives a world its visual language. A synopsis gives it facts. This workflow keeps those roles separate, proposes the people, places, and objects, then illustrates and reviews each entity. Explore the images alongside the records that explain them.

      1. 01

        Ground

        Keep the synopsis, visual reference, and expansion direction distinct.

      2. 02

        Propose

        Describe entities, relationships, tensions, and unanswered questions.

      3. 03

        Review

        Check the proposed world before paying to illustrate it.

      4. 04

        Illustrate

        Draw each entity and retain its individual image verdict.

      Four images passed the workflow's image judge. Two remain studies; wind-instrument geometry varies between illustrations.
