AstroWitch - Cinematic Comic Style LoRA for MiniMax H3 by AstroBurner AI

AstroWitch is a custom style LoRA created for MiniMax H3, designed to bring a dramatic cinematic comic-book and graphic-novel aesthetic into AI-generated video.

The LoRA focuses on the visual language rather than a specific character.

Expect expressive faces, refined cel-shaded rendering, strong inked contours, dramatic contrast, rich shadows, cinematic lighting and a darker, elegant graphic-novel atmosphere.

It works especially well for:

• Cinematic dialogue scenes

• Action sequences

• Romance and emotional scenes

• Comedy and everyday interactions

• Noir and thriller environments

• Character close-ups

• Dramatic urban scenes

• Multi-character conversations

• Stylized cinematic storytelling

The LoRA can be used for completely normal scenes. Your characters do not need armor, supernatural abilities or fantasy elements.

A woman drinking coffee, two people arguing in an office, a romantic conversation at a train station or three friends driving in a car can all be rendered in the AstroWitch style.

Trigger

Use:

ASTROWITCHV01H3

I recommend placing the trigger directly at the beginning of your MiniMax H3 prompt.

Example:

ASTROWITCHV01H3. Comic-book dark fantasy illustration with refined cel-shaded rendering, expressive faces, elegant inked contours, rich contrast, dramatic cinematic lighting, and a moody graphic-novel atmosphere.

After the style definition, describe the actual video normally.

MiniMax H3 Prompting

For MiniMax H3 I recommend treating the prompt more like video direction than a traditional image prompt.

A useful structure is:

Scene → Subjects → Initial State → Timeline → Visible Changes → Camera → Performance → Lighting → Sound

For example:

0-2s: Establish the characters and their initial expressions.

2-4s: Character A begins speaking while maintaining eye contact.

4-6s: Character B reacts, briefly looks away and answers.

6-8s: Their posture or emotional relationship changes.

8-10s: Finish with a reaction, camera move or final emotional beat.

Pay particular attention to:

• Eye direction

• Facial expressions

• Micro-expressions

• Body language

• Speaker identity

• Character reactions

• Camera movement

• Temporal progression

MiniMax H3 responds very well when the scene clearly explains who looks where, who speaks, how the other person reacts, and how the situation develops over time.

Simple Prompt Example

ASTROWITCHV01H3. Comic-book dark fantasy illustration with refined cel-shaded rendering, expressive faces, elegant inked contours, rich contrast, dramatic cinematic lighting, and a moody graphic-novel atmosphere.

Scene:
A quiet city café at night with wet pavement reflecting warm lights.

Subjects:
A long-haired woman wearing a fitted black coat stands opposite a man in a charcoal jacket.

Initial state:
She holds a coffee cup and looks directly into his eyes with a guarded expression. He watches her carefully.

Action timeline:
0-2s:
She briefly lowers her gaze toward the coffee cup before looking back at him.

2-5s:
She raises one eyebrow and says, "You always get quiet when something matters."

5-7s:
He looks toward the street for a moment, then returns his gaze to her and replies, "Maybe I just care what you think."

7-10s:
Her expression softens into a small genuine smile as she steps slightly closer. The camera slowly arcs around them while they maintain eye contact.

Camera:
Medium two-shot transitioning into closer reaction shots and finishing with a subtle cinematic arc.

Lighting:
Warm café lighting mixed with cool blue nighttime ambience and reflections from the wet street.

Soundscape:
Soft city traffic, distant café ambience and light wind.

Important

The LoRA was trained to reproduce a visual style, so you are free to build your own characters, environments and stories.

Fantasy elements are optional.

If you want a normal contemporary scene, simply describe a normal contemporary scene and let the LoRA provide the visual treatment.

If you want to push it further into dark fantasy, supernatural action or more extreme comic-book compositions, you can do that through the prompt.

Example Videos

The videos attached to this model page were generated with MiniMax H3 using this LoRA.

Where possible, I will include the prompts used for the examples so you can see how the LoRA and MiniMax H3 prompting work together.

Use them as a starting point, modify the characters, dialogue, camera direction and setting, and build your own scenes.

Have fun experimenting.
