How to Make Your AI Characters Look the Same in Midjourney

Creating images with AI is great, but making the same character appear in different scenes can be tricky. If you've struggled with getting consistent characters across multiple images in Midjourney, you're not alone. This guide will show you a straightforward way to keep your AI characters looking recognizable in many situations. We'll walk through the steps and share some tips to help you create a series of images that feature the same person, perfect for stories, projects, or just having fun.

Starting Your Midjourney Character

First, go to Midjourney and get set up. When you're ready to create, start with a simple prompt describing the character you want. For example, you might ask for a "red curly hair girl drinking tea in a coffee shop."

Midjourney will give you four image options. These can vary in style, from realistic to more like a drawing. Look at these four images closely. They show different ways your character could look based on your initial prompt. Pick the one that best matches your vision for the character's appearance and general style.

Using Remix for Consistency

The key tool for character consistency in Midjourney is the Remix feature. This lets you take one of the images you’ve already generated and use it as a starting point for a new scene.

Once you have your four initial images, choose the one you want to keep consistent. Find the 'Remix' button below that image grid. Clicking Remix opens a box where you can change the prompt.

You can choose 'Subtle' or 'Strong' remix. 'Subtle' makes small changes while keeping most things the same. 'Strong' allows bigger changes to the scene and prompt, while still trying to keep the main elements, like the character's look, consistent.

Putting Your Character in New Scenes

After picking an image and choosing Remix, update the prompt to describe the new scene or action for your character. Let's take our red-haired girl:

• Scene 1: Coffee Shop (Initial Prompt)

• Scene 2: Forest Use Remix on one of the coffee shop images. Change the prompt to "Put her in a forest drinking coffee with tigers and horses in the background." Midjourney will generate new images, keeping the girl mostly the same, but putting her in the forest setting.

• Scene 3: Space Use Remix again, perhaps on one of the forest images. Change the prompt completely: "She is in space drinking coffee with aliens." Even though the setting is totally different, Midjourney works to maintain the character's appearance from the source image you chose.

• Scene 4: Jurassic World Remix again! Try a realistic image from the space set. Prompt: "Now she is in a Jurassic World." Midjourney will generate images showing the same character among dinosaurs.

• Scene 5: Fire Kingdom Remix using a realistic image. Prompt: "Now she is the queen of a fire kingdom with demons around her." You'll see the character, looking consistent, but perhaps with a slightly adjusted expression or framing to fit the new theme.

• Scene 6: Cyber World Try remixing another image, maybe a detailed one. Prompt: "She's now in a cyber world with robots. She is the detective. She is drinking coffee." Midjourney aims to place the same character in this new high-tech setting.

Each time you use Remix based on an image from the previous step, you build on the character's look, placing them in new scenarios while keeping their face, hair, and general style consistent. Notice how the source image you select for Remix affects the outcome – if you start with a realistic image, the next set will likely be realistic too.

Tips for Maintaining Consistency

Here are a few tips for getting the best results:

• Choose Your Source Image Wisely: Look at the four images from a generation. Which one has the pose, expression, or style you like best for your character? Use that specific image for your next Remix.

• Pay Attention to Detail: Even small details like freckles or hair style can carry over when using Remix effectively.

• Experiment with Remix Strength: If you want large scene changes, use 'Strong' remix. If you just want minor adjustments, 'Subtle' might work.

Creating many images while keeping characters consistent can sometimes feel complex, especially when managing different versions and prompts. Tools designed to help with this process can make a big difference. Consider exploring options like the Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT, which can help streamline generating and managing consistent character images.

Upscale and Save Your Images

Once you have images you like from your Remix steps, you can use the Upscale option below them to get a higher-detail version. Choose "Upscale Creative" for the best quality. After upscaling, use the download icon to save the final image.

Midjourney Account Options

To use Midjourney regularly, you'll need a paid plan. Midjourney offers several options:

• Basic Plan: Costs starts at $10/month, includes about 200 image generations a month. Good for starting out.

• Standard Plan

• Pro Plan

• Mega Plan: These higher tiers offer more generations, faster processing, and different usage terms, suitable for heavier use or businesses.

If you want to try Midjourney, you can usually find a link to get started, often in description areas associated with guides like this.

Managing all the versions, prompts, and upscale steps for consistent characters can become time-consuming. For those creating many character images, automating parts of the workflow can save significant effort. Check out the Midjourney Automation Suite from TitanXT to see how it can help automate and simplify your consistent character creation process in Midjourney.

Conclusion

Using the Remix feature in Midjourney is a solid way to make sure your AI characters maintain their appearance across different scenes and scenarios. By starting with a good initial image and remixing it while changing the prompt, you can build a collection of images that all feature the same recognizable character, ready for whatever creative project you have in mind. Give it a try and see the consistency you can achieve.
