Creating consistent characters has been a challenge for me using midjourney that's why I'm going to learn from this video and how to do it.

[@KostiantynLuchshev]

I'm glad I was helpful!

[@lekhangnam6464]

It works. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@KostiantynLuchshev]

I'm glad it was helpful!

[@aHighLiGhtStory]

nice! The tricky part to make it look professional is to get the same clothes and small details right. You are on the right way here but you have to teach AI more about the character and give it more photos, sometime go in and change color on the shirts in ex photoshop then put it in again

[@KostiantynLuchshev]

Thanks for the tips!

[@seawildearth]

One way I got around this. I'm creating a children's book about animal encounters. Part of the page design is to show what would have been the main character, Timmy, with his camera looking at the animal focused on each page. Because of the inconsistency in clothing and light, I opted to rehash the title to read Timmy and Friends. I now have a different character, with a camera and backpack, interacting with each animal on each page. It certainly alleviates the issue. I think this is also more a problem when looking to create more Pixar, or photo-realistic characters for gaming or comic applications, etc.

[@KostiantynLuchshev]

Amazing, it's a wonderful idea! Thank you for sharing this with me and other people!

[@theaiplaybook]

[@wootang7469]

Thanks for the video. I never heard of seeds until your video.

[@KostiantynLuchshev]

I want to note you that seeds work differently in version 5 of Midjourney. It’s instruction for a 4th version. Check your settings. You can change the version at any moment.

[@lordofacca]

H thank you for the video. How do we create multiple characters in the same style of main character and then add them to different types of backgrounds?

Very well explained. Thanks! Have you managed to create sketches with MidJourney instead of well-polished illustrations?

[@KostiantynLuchshev]

I did some pages for the children's coloring book. I showed it in a few of my previous videos: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZuQqX6sntKIhJo kzbin.info/www/bejne/kIDXXqV9gcydrc0

[@manalaliequineart8342]

Thanks for the informative video. I have a question, how can we get a commercial rights for publishing it on kdp or any other website?

[@KostiantynLuchshev]

Good question! It is hard to say for sure. I asked Amazon KDP about it and they just told me that I should be sure that I use only AI images with commercial rights. So if you pay MidJourney, they give you commercial rights. But how you can confirm it with KDP. I can't say for sure. Maybe you need to show them your Midjourney account. That you use the paid version. And maybe your prompt, that you used for image creation.

[@fccnx01]

Greetings!! Amazing tutorial... but do you try to make a consistent character on MJ version 5 ?

[@KostiantynLuchshev]

Thank you for your comment! Not yet. I filmed this video a few days before Midjourney was updated. It would be interesting to do it after. But I have other plans, so not now.

[@naturallydope247]

Helpful video! What program did you use to get yourself in the corner in a circle.

[@KostiantynLuchshev]

Thank you! I did it in Final Cut Pro. You should place an above the video a circle, then the next one, and after it turns to a "Stencil Alpha" mode. I saw a such tutorial on KZbin)

[@naturallydope247]

@@KostiantynLuchshev Thanks! Great vid.

[@ewetuba4804]

Is this the same as MyMidjourney AI?

[@Huda_Alsokromy]

Thanks for the great easy tutorial, but I didn't find 'add reaction' part and 'envelope' as well. Do you have solution? I think the version is updated. Thank you once again

[@KostiantynLuchshev]

You are welcome! Hard to say for sure. All the images you created should has three dots button on the right top cornet and after you click it, there should be "add reaction" button. This video I did when only 4th version of Midjourney existed. So try to down grade to 4th version (by the /settings option).

[@Huda_Alsokromy]

Thank You so much, Now It works.@@KostiantynLuchshev

[@anson_ng]

Is there any validity period for Seeds? Does it still work after switching off and on the computer? Thanks.

[@KostiantynLuchshev]

I didn't use the seed number on another PC, so it is hard to say for sure. But as far as you use the same account, I believe you are free to use it any time.

[@user-nr3gx9tf1h]

what are your settings on discord?

[@KostiantynLuchshev]

Depends on the image you want to create. As usually it's Midjourney 5.2, if I want to create some anime or cartoon style, I'm using Niji 5 mode. Stylize med. High variation mode.

[@szymonpyrdek8516]

@Kostiantyn Luchshev. How can it be that the Bot does not send me seed number of upscaled images? I sends job ID and seeds number only for 4 non-upscaled images. It drives me crazy, because I can't work with one specific result but with 4 of them...

[@KostiantynLuchshev]

Did you check the left upper corner? There is a discord logo and title "Direct messages". It could be there. As in my video.

[@KostiantynLuchshev]

🔥 CHECK OUT THIS VIDEO NEXT ➡ kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGK6i4OdoKpqiMU There I will show you how to create a consistent character in V5 of Midjourney. Thank you for watching.

[@bether2game797]

What do you do when there is multi-characters?

[@missflorian8005]

I tried yesterday to get a picture for skincare line with logo "QS" and i keep getting imagen with other logros wnd naves. Any sugestiones on how i can write it?

[@KostiantynLuchshev]

First of all, I recommend using the 5th version of MidJourney. Did you switch to it? Secondly, I'm not sure that MidJourney can create the right logo with simple prompts. I think it will be easier to create an image without a logo and then add it with Photoshop or Canva. Or you can try to create a separate logo on white background in MidJourney and also add it in Photoshop over your image of the product. I fully understand that “prompting" can be hard. There are wouldn’t be a vacancy of engineer prompt for 350k per year, if it was so easy)

[@luminitasaruleanu1726]

Thank you for your inspiring video, it is really helpful. Maybe you should type "happy little boy" to see a smile on his face :))

[@KostiantynLuchshev]

Thank you a lot for your warm words! After I made this video I realized that we can only change his poses, and add additional characters and things, but if in the first image he doesn't smile, you won't change it then. Unless Midjourney adds some parameter that will give us such a possibility.

[@chidiemeke8331]

Is there a link to the midjouney discord server?

[@KostiantynLuchshev]

It will redirect you from the main website of Midjourney, when you click “join in” or “join the beta”.

[@LorandPalfalvi]

on V5 you don't receive the seed number for an upscaled or imported image anymore. You only receive it for groups of images ... so this aspect changes how you generate consistent characters. Something I can not do yet watching many tutorials including yours ....but thank you anyway

[@KostiantynLuchshev]

You are 100% right and I have already made a video about how to use seed number in 5th version of Midjourney: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGK6i4OdoKpqiMU This video was made before 5th version appeared.

[@LorandPalfalvi]

@@KostiantynLuchshev thank you so much! I appreciate your effort and help to the community 🙏

[@KostiantynLuchshev]

Your support is also valuable to me as well! Thank you!

[@technickr]

Sending the Image via Envelope does not work in v5 anymore. You need to start with a seed intentionally.

[@KostiantynLuchshev]

It works only for 4 images at once. And there are other methods that works in 5th version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGK6i4OdoKpqiMU

[@AnnaNeminova]

Спасибо. А с помощью леонардо можно?

[@KostiantynLuchshev]

You are welcome! Hard to say about Leonardo for sure. I didn't use it at all.

[@Lings_Vlog]

Hi body, thanks for the idea; it was v4, right? Could you please show me how to do the consistent creation in v5? Huge thanks

[@KostiantynLuchshev]

You are welcome! It was v4, as you said. But I definitely want to try new version as well)

[@CreativePeers]

@@KostiantynLuchshev Waiting for the V5 video

[@AmeenAI4.0]

i can't find the envelop

[@KostiantynLuchshev]

Oh, I faced up with the same problem when I first did it. Open "emoji" and start typing the word "envelope". As soon as you type, it will show you a suggestion, and here is how you will find it.

[@bonespro]

Are you using v4 or v5

[@KostiantynLuchshev]

It is 4th version of MidJourney. I made this video before they updated it to 5.

[@samawhis8622]

Seed number seemed be unavailable for V5 'upscale' for now. So this tutorial has expired?

[@KostiantynLuchshev]

No, it's not true. I have just turned it to 5th version, create a new image and get the number of new seed. Check every step I showed, please.

[@samawhis8622]

​@@KostiantynLuchshev Hey Kostiantyn, thx for your reply bro. have you marked envelope emoji to an upscale pic and got a seed number by the bot DM? I failed to use this method for an upscale which also been confirmed in the official community. Any chance I could get the seed number of the upscale picture under V5?

[@KostiantynLuchshev]

Hi Sama! I really don't understand why there is a problem with a seed number. I get it every time I marked envelope emoji. The one moment, that this seed number shows not in the same window, but in direct messages. Left upper corner. Could you check it again, please?

[@samawhis8622]

@@KostiantynLuchshev Hey man, thought this could only workable for V4, but not for the V5 upscale img to get the seed number anymore.

[@sfreedom2007]

When I try to get the same character doing other things, it doesn't work. It gives me a whole other character.

[@KostiantynLuchshev]

I noticed that sometimes it doesn't work with some characters. But I believe it is a mistake in prompt rather than some issues with Midjourney. Try to be more specific with a prompt. And don't forget, that this video I made with the 4th version of Midjourney. Check yours, please.

[@001efren]

I tried this method and doesn't work, I'm using V5 btw

[@KostiantynLuchshev]

Unfortunately, this is true. But there are at least 2 methods how you can do it in the 5th version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGK6i4OdoKpqiMU

[@MiniacsTV]

This doesn't work! Ive tryed this with other characters.

[@KostiantynLuchshev]

What kind of version of Midjourney do you use? This is an old video where only V.4 existed. So everything in this video works for 4th version of Midjourney.

[@GreenLifeSavings]

Finding the seed is not that simple. That method doesn't work. I still haven't found the seed

[@KostiantynLuchshev]

This method works for version 4 of Midjourney. When I made this video, there wasn’t 5th version. You can use 4th version to work like that, or just check my next video about 5th version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGK6i4OdoKpqiMU

[@CobraDove1111]

Useless. The boy characters all have different clothes on! YES, people will notice and why would anyone publish trash books with different outfits hoping people wont notice, that's LOW QUALITY crap

[@KostiantynLuchshev]

I can agree with you only with different clothes. It's limited for now, but who stops you from the story of the boy who meets every new day on some adventures or the boy who loves to change clothes because he wants to become a designer. Try to look wider at things. You can always find a way if you are looking for one.
