#### Summary – This tutorial teaches a technique for creating consistent characters in Midjourney V5. – The technique involves using multiple poses and expressions, a white background, and a simple, cute, full-color style. – The tutorial suggests using a 3D model with light and shadow, followed by a detailed description of the character’s appearance. – The prompt allows for generating multiple images until the desired character is achieved. – The tutorial explains how to find and copy the seed number for each generated image. – The tutorial shows how to use Photoshop to create a new file from the copied image and paste it back into Midjourney. – The tutorial recommends joining the Midjourney makers community for further support and collaboration.
00:00 hey guys in this tutorial I’m going to show you one technique that you can use to create consistent characters in mid-journey I’m going to start a new midi Journey prompt imagine command and then I’m going to type a little gray wolf character now the most important part of this entire prompt is multiple poses and expressions then also it’s important to say 100 percent white background children’s book illustration style then just some generic style descriptions like simple cute full color now you might want to use a 3D model
00:42 with light and Shadow followed by a very detailed description of your character no shoes gray hat gray hooded dress great clothes flat color dash dash no outline when you use dash dash no in mid Journey it’s going to remove the following keyword so this will avoid outlines in our image now press enter and let’s wait for the image to be generated now you might want to generate the same image multiple times until you get the characters you actually like so after running this prompt two times I ended up with this image which I thought was acceptable
01:33 now every time mid Journey generates an image it also generates a seed number to get the seed number go to upper right corner click on the three dots go to add reaction and choose envelope or type it if it’s not there now minute journey is going to create an alert in the upper left corner and give us the seed number for that image select that number right click and click copy now I’m going to memorize this seed number so I’m going to open notepad and just copy that number into my notepad okay so now let’s go back to our Channel
02:19 open the image by clicking on it right click and click on copy image at this point you can minimize mid-journing now I’m going to open Photoshop and go to file new and I’m going to create a new file from the clipboard so I’m going to paste my character here now I’m going to select the first character and press Ctrl X minimize Photoshop go back to MIDI Journey and paste that image directly into the chat box repeat that process for as many images as you need for this example I’ll only use
03:00 three images you might want to use more now if you’re someone who’s still watching this video join our mid-journey makers community at ghost together.com all you have to do is sign up by email and start posting images ask questions or find other meter Journey makers of things this is just a demonstration of the technique now go to the first image right click copy image address start a new prompt with imagine command and paste that URL here go to the second image right click copy image address press space and paste another URL go to third image copy image address and
03:47 paste it with all these URLs separated by space now go back to our original prompt and select all of the prompt right click copy and paste it back into this prompt now where it says multiple poses and expressions you want to replace that with a single action like in this case I’m going to say run and running now remember that seed number we copied earlier type dash dash seed and paste that seed number that I copied early into the notepad so just go ahead and add it to this prompt and press enter now wait for our consistent character to be made with this prompt
04:43 it’s going to take a while so I’m going to speed this up okay and here you have our character with the running action applied you’ll notice that it doesn’t really look a lot like running so I’m gonna go to Google and type Running Animation frames we’re looking for some generic idea for the writing frames so here’s the image that I chose right click copy image address go back to Mid journey start a new consistent character prompt paste that URL of the running
05:22 image scroll up and select this original prompt right click and copy or press Ctrl C so I’m going to try and copy this correctly right click copy and paste it after that running URL and so just press enter and so there’s our image guys it’s a little wolf character and because we applied an extra Running Animation frames midjourney extracted that running information and further applied it to our consistent character and this is why it’s important for that running reference to be as generic as possible every
06:11 time I applied this technique I always had much better results for specifically my actions from my characters and so there’s one more thing I want to tell you guys and I want to ask you for a small favor if this tutorial helped you making your illustration Book characters I’d like to invite you to join our midjourney community where you can post your own images for The Illustrated books you’re trying to create Ask MidJourney questions meet other midJourney creators it’s
06:48 called ghost together it’s an online community of midjourney makers to sign up completely for free there’s a link I left in the description of this video so I hope to see you guys there with other midJourney creators and of course I’ll see you in my next midjourney tutorial
