THE LAST NODE — A Complete AI-Generated Graphic Novel
Built entirely on Melius
What I Built:
365 nodes on one Melius canvas
20 story pages across 5 chapters
57+ individually generated panels
3 full-page cinematic splash panels
Complete front and back cover
Character sheets, environment sheets, prop sheets — all locked for consistency
How I Built It:
I used Melius chat to automatically generate the node structure from my story idea. Then I wired character reference nodes, environment reference nodes, and prop nodes into every single image generation node — so Kael's face, his red jacket, and Cipher's green LED stayed consistent across all 57 panels. Every page runs through its own chain: prompt node → Nano Banana Pro art generation → overlay → assembly. All nodes ran without a single crash or freeze.

Background motion graphics for Audeo website — built in Melius
The project
Audeo is a product I'm currently designing. I needed distinctive animated background elements — section dividers that add life to the site without pulling attention from the content.
The process
Started with one base gradient — the source of truth for colors and overall vibe.
Then a node that adds a soft frosted glass layer on top.
From there, 4 parallel nodes generating different variations — one for each section of the site. Same DNA, different shapes and flow.
Final layer: very slow ambient motion on each variation. Movement is visible but never distracting from the actual content.
The whole system lives on one canvas — base → glass → variations → motion. Easy to iterate, easy to extend.
On Melius
Melius gives you real control over the process and access to multiple models in one place. I think the possibilities here are basically unlimited. I'll keep building site graphics in Melius going forward.

I built a world called Ashenveil.
Collapsed theocracy. Forgotten gods. Three factions fighting over
the bones of something that used to be holy.
Then I built the pipeline that brought it to life faction concept
art, character portraits, ambient audio, a cinematic trailer, and a
lore thread that drops you into the world with no warning.
All of it from one canvas. One brief. Every node feeding the next.
This is The Lore Drop a Melius workflow for game studios who need
a world, not just assets. The kind of pipeline that used to take a
team weeks. Now it takes one session.
Ashenveil was the test. The canvas is the product.
If you're building a game and you need a world before you need a whitepaper, this pipeline is for you.
