Style presets for every kind of comic, and always your own style
Fifteen style presets, from superhero comics to manga to European albums, each with a real sample page. Pick one for the whole series or for one run of pages, or skip them and describe your own style. Inky asks which look you want before it draws anything.
What shipped. Inkroost now has fifteen style presets in five families: American comic (Superhero, Noir, Golden Age, Graphic novel), Manga (Manga B&W, Shonen, Shojo, Seinen, Chibi), Webtoon (Webtoon, Anime colour), Cartoon (Cartoon, Storybook) and European comic (Ligne claire, Painted album). Every preset shows a sample page drawn by Inkroost from the same scene, so you see what a look produces before you pick it. The old chips were six manga flavours.
A preset is a starting point. You can always create your own style. A preset only fills in the style boxes; you can change any of them afterwards, or skip the presets, tap Your own style and describe the look in your own words. A style you write yourself is drawn exactly as you wrote it, and Inkroost never swaps it for a preset.
One for the series, one for the run. Under Series info the Style preset cards set the look every page, cover and banner on the series starts from. In the drawing door, right above More options, the same cards set the look for the pages you are about to draw; a preset picked there wins over the series default for that run only.
Inky asks. When you start a series with Inky, it asks how the pages should look before it sets anything up, with one button per family plus My own style and You pick what fits the story. Say the look in your first sentence ("drawn like a noir comic") and it skips the question. The cards sit under the box on the Create with Inky door too, and the home page lets you choose a look before you sign up.
No more silent manga. A series that had no style at all used to be drawn as black-and-white manga without anyone choosing it. That default is gone: the studio and Inky ask first, and a series that somehow reaches the drawing step with no look gets a neutral clean-comic instruction instead.
