How To Make Consistent Characters In Midjourney 6 (How to keep a Character Consistent)
TLDRThis tutorial demonstrates a technique for creating consistent characters in Midjourney using a combination of prompts, seed numbers, and image references. The process involves generating multiple images with varying poses and expressions, capturing the seed number for each, and then using these seeds to maintain character consistency across different actions. The video also suggests using generic running animation frames to improve the accuracy of character actions. The tutorial concludes with an invitation to join the Midjourney community for further engagement and support.
Takeaways
- 🎨 Start by creating a new Midjourney prompt with a specific character description and style preferences.
- 🔍 Include multiple poses and expressions in the initial prompt to capture the character's consistency.
- 🌟 Use detailed descriptions for the character's attire and features to ensure visual consistency.
- 🖌️ Utilize the 'dash dash no' command to remove unwanted elements like outlines from the generated images.
- 🔢 Take note of the seed number generated by Midjourney for each image to recreate consistent results.
- 📋 Copy the seed number into a notepad for later use in maintaining character consistency.
- 📸 Copy images from Midjourney and paste them into Photoshop to create a new file with the character.
- 🔄 Repeat the process of generating images until you find a character design you like.
- 🔗 Use the copied image URLs in a new prompt to reference the character for consistency.
- 🏃♂️ Replace 'multiple poses and expressions' with a specific action, like 'running', to apply it to the character.
- 🔄 Add the seed number with 'dash dash seed' in the prompt to ensure the character's consistency across actions.
- 🌐 Search for generic animation frames related to the desired action to improve the accuracy of the character's depiction.

Q & A
What is the main topic of the tutorial?
-The main topic of the tutorial is to show a technique for creating consistent characters in mid-journey using a specific prompt in the imagine command.
What is the importance of using 'multiple poses and expressions' in the prompt?
-Using 'multiple poses and expressions' in the prompt helps to generate a variety of character representations, which is crucial for maintaining consistency across different images.
What style description is recommended for the character in the prompt?
-The recommended style description for the character is '100 percent white background children's book illustration style' with additional generic style descriptions like 'simple', 'cute', and 'full color'.
How does the 'dash dash no' command work in the prompt?
-The 'dash dash no' command in the prompt is used to remove the following keyword, which in this case helps to avoid outlines in the generated image.
What is the purpose of the seed number generated by Mid Journey?
-The seed number is used to recreate the exact same image or to maintain consistency in the character's appearance across different prompts.
How can you obtain the seed number for a generated image in Mid Journey?
-To obtain the seed number, go to the upper right corner, click on the three dots, go to 'add reaction', and choose 'envelope' or type it if it's not there. Mid Journey will then create an alert in the upper left corner with the seed number.
What is the role of the 'running' action in the follow-up prompt?
-The 'running' action in the follow-up prompt is used to apply a specific action to the consistent character, ensuring that the character's pose is consistent with the desired activity.
Why is it suggested to use a generic reference image for the running animation frames?
-Using a generic reference image for the running animation frames helps Mid Journey to extract the running information more accurately and apply it to the consistent character.
What is the purpose of joining the 'mid-journey makers community'?
-The purpose of joining the 'mid-journey makers community' is to connect with other creators, post images, ask questions, and share experiences related to Mid Journey creations.
How can you create a new file in Photoshop from the clipboard?
-In Photoshop, you can create a new file from the clipboard by going to 'File', then 'New', and selecting 'Create new file from clipboard' or by pasting the copied image directly.
What is the final result of applying the technique described in the tutorial?
-The final result is a consistent character with a specific action (e.g., running) applied, generated using the Mid Journey platform, maintaining the character's appearance and style across different images.

🎨 Creating Consistent Characters in Mid-Journey
This paragraph describes a tutorial on generating consistent character images using the Mid-Journey AI tool. The process begins with creating a new prompt with specific instructions for a 'little gray wolf character' in a children's book illustration style, emphasizing a 100% white background and multiple poses and expressions. The tutorial explains how to avoid outlines by using 'dash dash no' in the prompt. It also details the importance of capturing the seed number from the generated image for consistency and demonstrates how to copy and paste images into the chat box for further use. The paragraph concludes with an invitation to join the Mid-Journey community for support and collaboration.
🏃♂️ Applying Action to Consistent Characters
The second paragraph continues the tutorial by focusing on applying a specific action, 'running', to the previously generated consistent character. It guides the user to start a new prompt with the 'imagine' command and to paste URLs of images with the desired action, in this case, running animation frames. The paragraph explains how to incorporate the original prompt along with the seed number to ensure consistency in the character's appearance while applying the new action. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of using generic references for actions to achieve better results. It concludes with another invitation to join the Mid-Journey community and a teaser for the next tutorial.
