Creating Consistent Characters with Midjourney

Do you want to create characters that you can reuse in games, comics, and videos? Or do you want Midjourney to place your character in multiple scenes? In this article, you'll learn how to achieve both by using a few keywords in your prompts.

Creating Character Assets

Creating character assets in Midjourney involves using specific keywords in your prompts. Here's how to do it:

Using Front and Side Poses

When describing your character, use terms like "front and side pose." For example, if you want a pixel art character, your prompt could include "pixel art character, front and side pose."

Character Sheets and Turnarounds

To get a full view of your character, use terms like "character sheet" or "backside and front." This is helpful for creating turnarounds, showing your character from multiple angles.

Generating Portraits

For portraits, describe your character and specify that you want a "six image set." This will give you a variety of options to choose from.

Expanding and Refining Images

Once you have your initial images, you can expand and refine them to get more options and higher quality results.

Expanding Images

To get more variations of a character, expand the image using the editor. Drag the image to the side and submit it to generate another option in the same style.

Upscaling and Removing Backgrounds

To improve the quality of your images, upscale them to a higher resolution. Then, remove the background to make your character usable in different contexts.

Using Creative Fabrica for Background Removal

One free option for removing backgrounds is Creative Fabrica's background remover. Upload your image, and it will automatically remove the background. Always double-check the result to ensure it hasn't removed too much of the image.

Putting a Character in a Scene

Once you have your character, you can place them in various scenes using Midjourney's reference features. Here's how to do it:

Using Character References

Drag your character image to the text bar to use it as a reference. Select the "character reference" option to ensure Midjourney focuses on the character's appearance.

Adding Style References

To maintain a consistent style, use a style reference image. Drag the image to the text bar and select the "style reference" option. This will ensure the new scene matches the style of the reference image.

Changing Clothes and Accessories

[P]By default, Midjourney tries to match the clothes and accessories of the character reference. To change this, use the "character weight" (CW) tag. Set the value to 20 to allow for changes in clothing and accessories while keeping the character consistent. The default value is 100, and it takes the original character, clothes and accessories from the image provided.</P]
