Creating Consistent Characters with Midjourney

Want to create characters that stay consistent across multiple scenes or projects in Midjourney? This guide will show you how to use specific keywords and techniques to achieve character consistency, opening up possibilities for games, comics, videos, and more.

Crafting Character Assets in Midjourney

Creating consistent character assets in Midjourney involves using the right keywords in your prompts. Here are some approaches:

Using Front and Side Poses

When you are creating assets, specifying poses is very helpful. Here's how:

• Describe your character with keywords such as "pixel art character."

• Incorporate "front and side pose" in your prompt. This generates character sheets that are useful for many purposes.

Character Sheets: Front, Side, and Back

For a comprehensive view of your character, use terms like "character sheet backside and front." This ensures a turnaround view, which is especially useful for 3D modeling or animation.

Generating Portraits

To create a series of portraits, describe your character and specify "six image set" in your prompt. Expanding images and removing backgrounds can provide more options and versatility.

• Describe the character you want to see.

• Add a phrase like "six image set."

• Expand the images to get more options.

Upscaling and Removing Backgrounds

After generating your initial images, upscaling and removing backgrounds are essential steps for refining your character assets. Here’s how to do it:

• Upscale the Image: Use the "upscale subtle" option for a higher resolution version of your image.

• Remove the Background: Tools like Creative Fabrica offer free background removal. This is crucial for integrating your character into various scenes or projects.

• Verify Transparency: Double-check the transparency in an image editor like Infinity Photo to ensure clean edges.

Integrating Characters into Scenes

Once you have your character asset, the next step is to integrate it into different scenes. Here’s how to maintain consistency while placing your character in new environments:

• Character Reference: Drag your character image to the text bar to use it as a reference. Select the character reference option (the icon on the left).

• Style Reference: To maintain a consistent style, drag an image with the desired style to the text bar and select the style reference option (the middle icon).

Controlling Character Appearance

Midjourney's character weight (CW) parameter allows you to control how closely the generated character matches the reference image. By default, CW is set to 100, which means Midjourney will try to match the character's clothes and accessories. Lowering the CW value allows you to change the character's outfit while maintaining facial features and overall appearance. For instance, setting CW to 20 enables you to modify clothing while keeping the character consistent.

• Character Weight (CW): Use the "--CW" tag followed by a value (e.g., "--CW 20"). The default value is 100.

• Lower Values: Lowering the CW value allows you to change the character's clothes and accessories.

Conclusion

Creating consistent characters in Midjourney involves a combination of strategic prompting, reference images, and parameter adjustments. By using these techniques, you can ensure your characters remain recognizable across various scenes and projects. Experiment with different prompts and settings to discover what works best for your specific needs.
