Your own artwork, without making a chapter for it

What shipped. A place of your own for the pages you drew. My reference art sits in the left column, just above Match my style: drop your artwork in, and Inkroost has something to learn your style from.

Why it matters. Until now, the first step was the wrong shape. Upload my pages opened the New chapter form, and before you could show Inkroost a single drawing you had to decide a chapter number, a title and who was allowed to read it — for pages you never meant to publish. One creator put it plainly: they could not use the feature at all.

Reference art belongs to the series, not to a chapter. No number, no page count, no readers, nothing published. It is only ever visible to you, and you can take any image back out whenever you like.

How to use it. Open a series, press My reference art, and drop in a few things in your own hand — a finished page, a panel, a character study. Three or four is usually plenty. Then press Match my style and Inkroost reads them: it writes down what it sees and drafts character, place and prop sheets you edit before anything is saved. Pages you had already uploaded into a chapter still count, and they are offered there beside your reference art, so there is nothing to upload twice.

It also reaches the drawings you ask for. Once you have reference art, it travels with every page Inkroost draws for that series, as the look to match — not instead of your style profile, but beside it. A profile is words, and words only go so far: clean digital manga, screentone shading describes a thousand different hands, and only a picture shows yours. If a page is already crowded with the faces and objects it has to get right, those keep their place and the style reference steps aside.

One fix while we were in there. Ticking pages in Match my style counted some of them twice, so six ticked pages could read "7 of 6" and then refuse to start the read. They count once now.
