Want to create characters that stay consistent across different scenes in Midjourney? Whether it's for games, comics, or videos, having a consistent character design is key. This guide will show you how to use specific keywords and techniques to ensure your Midjourney characters remain recognizable, no matter the setting.

Crafting Character Assets with Keywords

[P]The secret to consistent character creation in Midjourney lies in the keywords you use. Here's how to use them effectively:</P]

Specifying Pose and Style

[P]When describing your character, be specific about the pose and style you want. For example:</P]

• For a pixel art character, use "front and side pose."

• For a character sheet, try "full body, different sides and shots" or "character sheet backside and front."

• For portraits, specify a "six image set" to get multiple options.

Experiment with different combinations to achieve the desired look. For example, using "character sheet backside and front" yields a turnaround for your character.

Expanding and Refining Images

[P]Midjourney allows you to expand images to get more variations of your character. After generating an image, use the editor to create additional options in the same style. Upscale the images you like to get a higher resolution version. This can be particularly useful when refining your character's appearance.</P]

Removing Backgrounds for Versatility

[P]To use your characters in various projects, removing the background is essential. Here's how to do it effectively:</P]

Using Creative Fabrica's Background Remover

[P]A free and effective option is Creative Fabrica's background remover. Simply upload your image, and the tool will automatically remove the background. However, always double-check the result to ensure no important details are accidentally removed. You may have to manually fix the image using tools such as Infinity Photo.</P]

Putting Your Character in Different Scenes

[P]Once you have your character, the next step is to place them in various scenes while maintaining consistency. Here's how to do it:</P]

Using Character and Style References

[P]To maintain character consistency, drag your character image to the text bar in Midjourney. Select the "character reference" option. This tells Midjourney to use this image as a reference for your character's appearance. To maintain style consistency, drag another image you like to the text bar and set it as a "style reference". This ensures the new scene matches the artistic style of the reference image.</P]

Adjusting Character Weight

[P]By default, Midjourney tries to match not only the character's appearance but also their clothes and accessories. If you want to change your character's outfit, use the `--cw` or `--character weight` parameter. Setting this value to a lower percentage, like 20, allows you to change the character's clothes while still maintaining their consistent appearance. For example, if the value is at the default 100, the AI will prioritize matching clothes and accessories. Lowering the value tells the AI to focus more on matching the character's face, hair and body shape, even if the outfit is different.</P]
