My personal project is illustrating arbitrary stories with consistent characters and settings. I've rewritten it at least 5 times, and Nano Banana has been a game-changer. My kids are willing to listen to much more sophisticated stories as long as it has pictures, so I've used it to illustrate text like Ender's Game. Unfortunately, it's getting harder to legally acquire books in a format you can feed to an LLM.

I first extract all the entities from the text, generate characters from an art style, and then start stitching them together into individual illustrations. It works much better with NB than anything else I tried before.

That sounds interesting. Could you share?
