How to Create Consistent Characters in Midjourney! (Full Guide) ✨

The video begins with an introduction to a step-by-step system for creating consistent characters within mid-journey, a creative process. The presenter shares a free method that doesn't require tools like Photoshop. The audience is introduced to the AI Art Studio 2.0, which includes a consistent characters hub for organization. The workspace is available for purchase, and the video promises to showcase the creation of consistent characters and the organization of these characters in both the AI Art Studio and Notion.

The presenter dives into setting up a workspace in Notion, starting with creating a project that acts as a folder for character variations and scenes. They demonstrate how to create a new project called 'Life on the Farm' with a cover photo generated in mid-journey. The project setup includes titling, describing, setting deadlines, and organizing within the Notion database.

The video continues with the process of creating a character named Jane within Notion. The character creation involves giving Jane a basic description, linking her to the 'Life on the Farm' project, and setting her as the main character. The presenter emphasizes the simplicity of the description and the flexibility of the process, allowing for adjustments as the project evolves.

The presenter explains how to create a consistent character design sheet using mid-journey. They provide a simple prompt template for generating character designs and emphasize the importance of keeping the prompt minimal to avoid overwhelming the AI. The process involves listing character features, style, clothing, and expressions. The presenter also discusses the iterative nature of the process, which may require tweaking and testing to achieve the desired results.

The video demonstrates how to isolate characters from the design sheet using free tools like 'iloveimg' for cropping and 'backgroundcut.co' for background removal. The presenter guides the audience through the process of cropping out individual characters, removing backgrounds to ensure the AI focuses solely on the character, and preparing these images for uploading to mid-journey.

The presenter explains how to upload the prepared character images to mid-journey and use them as references for creating character variations. They detail the process of typing specific commands, copying image links, and pasting them into the mid-journey prompt to generate new poses and expressions. The video also covers the importance of patience and experimentation in refining the prompts to get the desired character variations.

The video moves on to combining character variations with backgrounds to create scenes. The presenter discusses the importance of matching the style of the background with the character and provides a step-by-step guide on setting up the scene in mid-journey. They also demonstrate how to use Canva to overlay the character onto the background, adjusting size, angle, and perspective to create a cohesive scene.

The presenter wraps up the tutorial by showing how to document the entire process in Notion. They guide the audience through creating a scene entry, linking it to the character, variation, and project, and embedding the final scene image. The video emphasizes the usefulness of the consistent character hub in Notion for organizing all the data and provides a comprehensive overview of the process for easy reference.

In the conclusion, the presenter invites the audience to subscribe, like, and comment on the video if they found the tutorial helpful. They also mention that the AI Art Studio 2.0, which includes the consistent character hub, is available for purchase and provides a more in-depth experience for those interested in further developing their character creation skills.
