Creating Consistent Characters in Midjourney: A Guide

Want to design characters that stay consistent across different scenes and styles in Midjourney? This guide will show you how to use character and style references, along with a special "character weight" tag, to keep your characters recognizable while changing their outfits and environments.

Creating Character Assets

Creating character assets in Midjourney involves using specific keywords in your prompts. Here are a few examples:

Pixel Art Characters

To create a pixel art character, describe the character and include "front and side pose" in your prompt. This will give you a character sheet-style result, perfect for games or animations.

Zombie Character Sheets

For a zombie character sheet, use "full body different sides and shots" in your prompt. Adding "character sheet backside and front" can also help generate a turnaround view of your character.

Portraits

To generate a series of portraits, describe your character and specify "six image set" in your prompt. This will give you multiple options in a consistent style.

Expanding and Refining Images

Once you have a set of images, you can expand them to get more options. Use the "editor" to drag an image to the side and generate variations in the same style. You can also upscale images for higher resolution.

Removing Backgrounds

[P]To remove backgrounds from your upscaled images, you can use free online tools like Creative Fabrica's background remover. Simply upload your image, and the tool will automatically remove the background. It's always a good idea to double-check the result and manually clean up any remaining artifacts using an image editor like Affinity Photo or Photoshop.</P]

Putting a Character in a Scene

[P]To put a character in a specific scene, start by generating your character. Then, drag the character image to the text bar in Midjourney to use it as a character reference. This will tell Midjourney to maintain the character's appearance across different scenes.</P]

Using Character and Style References

[P]To maintain a consistent style, you can also use a style reference image. Drag an image with the desired style to the text bar and set it as a style reference. This will ensure that your character is placed in a scene with a matching aesthetic. Here's a quick rundown:</P]

• Drag your character image to the text bar, selecting the "character reference" option.

• Drag a style image to the text bar, this time selecting the "style reference" option.

• Type your prompt describing the desired scene.

[P]By using both character and style references, you can create consistent and visually appealing scenes featuring your character.</P]

Changing Character Styles and Clothes

[P]By default, Midjourney tries to match the clothes and accessories of your character reference. However, you can change this behavior using the "character weight" (CW) tag. The default value is 100, but by lowering it, you can change the character's clothes and accessories while maintaining their overall appearance.</P]

Using the Character Weight Tag

[P]To change your character's outfit, add the tag "--cw" followed by a value between 0 and 100 to your prompt. For example, "--cw 20" will reduce the influence of the character's original clothes and accessories, allowing you to introduce new ones.</P]

Conclusion

[P]By using character and style references, along with the character weight tag, you can create consistent characters in Midjourney and place them in a variety of scenes and styles. Experiment with different prompts and settings to achieve the desired look for your characters. Unleash your creativity and see where Midjourney can take you!</P]
