How to Make Consistent Art in Midjourney V 5.2

[@sizahr]

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 🎨 Identify the art style you want for your AI art, and for this demonstration, the creator is inspired by the art style of Digimon: The Movie from their childhood. 01:09 🚀 Use Midjourney's new feature, "/tune," to fine-tune the style with reference images. Drag and drop image links into the prompt, ensuring a space between each link. Include relevant keywords like "anime aesthetic." 01:52 🔍 Create a tuning test with 16 style directions. Experiment with different options until you find a style you like. Copy the entire prompt, including image links, and run it with various stylized values (e.g., S400 and S40). 02:49 🔄 Enable "remix mode" and "high variation mode" in the settings to avoid an average of all image prompts. Delete image prompts and style code from the chosen style. Lower stylize value for closer adherence to your prompt. 03:44 🔄 Continue the remix process with different characters or scenes, maintaining consistency by using the same base style. Input new subjects, such as Wonder Woman, and generate AI art with a consistent look. 04:54 🖼️ Include descriptive words like "full body," "wide angle lens," and "action pose" to refine the generated art. Exclude specific words if needed to avoid unwanted elements. Adjusting parameters helps achieve the desired consistent style. 06:29 🔄 Recap of the workflow: Tune style with image prompts, select a style, generate the entire style, enable remix mode, use the variation button, delete image prompts and style code, use lower stylize values, include new subjects, and continue the remixing process for a consistent look.

This is going to change the game when it comes to consistency , too often it's a massive gamble to just type an artist name or anime film directors name and get good results. Either the person is way too niche or the AI consumes generic names and it misses with the results, having the ability to train the AI IRL with the exact taste you want and have remix guide the slot machine is really a positive game changer especially for those of us who want to master this machine. Thank you so much for bringing awareness

[@FutureTechPilot]

'remix guide slot machine' - exactly. You definitely won't always win, but you should be able to win eventually lol

[@sidewaysdesign]

An excellent followup on /tune. Tuner is a difficult feature of Midjourney to make useful, and this approach is another good one to drop into the toolbox.

[@FutureTechPilot]

Cheers pal!!

[@morpheus2573]

Thanks. Looking forward to trying this technique. But I'm a little confused about not including the style code in the prompt. And yes, it is counterintuitive. I get that you don't want it to act as a "force multiplier," but I thought the whole point of style tuning was to create a bunch of style codes you can create then add to a prompt to overlay it with the style of your choice. This method is a work around of that approach. If this is really necessary, you're essentially saying that the entire style tune concept doesn't work as intended. If so, MJ needs to provide clarity around their best use practice.

[@FutureTechPilot]

hmmm. maybe I could have been more clear. So, the style code definitely maintains a particular look, but in my testing, it *seemed* to interfere with the 'remix' feature ... like, once we have a style we want, we try to 'remix' to a different character, but the style code was also acting on the remix. Basically, after testing, it seemed like removing the style code helped the remix feature maintain the look I wanted. Hope that explains it a little better

[@morpheus2573]

@@FutureTechPilot I hear ya. There's no issue with your clarity, and your work around makes great sense. The issue is that MJ have released a "pushmepullyou."

[@richardw2010]

So awesome Bro -- I have been thinking how much more powerful /tune would be if you could use images, and you went and did it

[@FutureTechPilot]

haha and I think it worked out well enough!

[@jpjacobsenbr]

U are the man! Fantastic vídeo. Glad I waited couple weeks before diving into custom styles. Question: If you want a lot of the same style established why are using -s 40? Why not more of the style added in?

[@FutureTechPilot]

So this is all based off of testing, and any stylize value higher than 100 really started to ignore the subject of the prompt. Remixing helped keep the style, while --s 40 helped make sure Midjourney followed my prompt, in this case, created the character I asked for

[@erikaol1091]

Now that you can create tunes on relax mode wouldn't 128 be the best option?

[@FutureTechPilot]

Maybe! But it can be kinda overwhelming to choose between that many images

[@erikaol1091]

[@dangilbert493]

This process is exactly what I have been searching for! Thank you so much for posting this. Now that we have V6, has anything changed or improved? Will this procedure work the same in 6? On a side note, the 2x and 4x upscalers are gone in 6 - re[placed by the upscale subtle and creative - are they 2x or 4x?

[@FutureTechPilot]

Upscalers 2x and 4x didn't make it to V6, but might come later. Right now Subtle and Creative work slightly different but get it up to probably 2x. Unfortunately style tuning isn't available in Version 6 yet but this same basic idea might work (image prompt and then remix)

[@dangilbert493]

Hmmmm, I used tune/ in 6. It did run but the results were terrible. None of the 32 options were acceptable. I’ll try again with a new selection of reference images.

[@FutureTechPilot]

@@dangilbert493 tune still uses 5.2

[@mehface]

You can bring back the upscale by vary region'ing a small bit of the image, but changing the mode to 5.2 in the prompt. that converts it to 5.2 and brings back the upscaler

[@chariots8x230]

Once we create the styles, can we save those styles in Midjourney in order to pull them up whenever we need to?

[@FutureTechPilot]

Yeah check out this video here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpebhoKtib1gfLM - one of the steps is saving a style as a shortcut

[@FutureTechPilot]

There are some things you can try, but I don't want to give you false hope. In my opinion, there isn't a way to get consistent characters like that - nothing you'll be satisfied with.

[@JonLowe14]

awesome video, does anyone know how to get consistent composition??

[@FutureTechPilot]

I think we will have to wait a few more months for them to develop that tool!

[@paskali79]

But then why using the tuner at all ? Wouldn’t you have the same result by using your five images without the tuner style and then do variations like you did?

[@FutureTechPilot]

You're not entirely wrong .. but the /tune helps with the style because it shows you all the different options you actually have for that prompt - whereas image prompting alone will only leave you with 1 outcome

[@lewiscarr7952]

How about using the generated "tuned" style codes as sort of "presets" that can be applied to new prompts??? Is that just the same as using this remix method?

[@FutureTechPilot]

That's slightly different than remixing - I mean, you can try both and see the difference yourself - because it's hard to explain. But you can't use those style codes in Version 6, just a reminder!

[@annjoy2372]

Thank you. But how to make the same character in a different environment?

[@FutureTechPilot]

Well ... that's not easy to do that the moment ... - you can take a look at this video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3TLaqKpmpynfdU - and try the techniques in there, but there is no quick solution built into Midjourney right now

[@Ton369]

Couldn't you do the same thing just by asking MJ to render a "cartoon scene like Digimon." And then, when you find a frame you like, just remix based on that one.

[@FutureTechPilot]

Yeah I guess, but Digimon here was just an example. If you wanted a different style that was difficult to put into words, your best bet would be to tune it with image prompts

[@0xFreeWill]

Is there any way to reference a scene instead of a character? --sref just copies the style. What if i want variations of the same scenery? Like my house for example, same house but maybe it looks older.

[@FutureTechPilot]

I wish! maybe one day

[@timothypruitt4578]

@@FutureTechPilot Thanks for the reply. The next day I did it a third time and it worked to the extent that it generated style options without the errors I was receiving. What I was working on trying to do was to create a style based on a character that I created in DALL-E 3 in ChatGPT. The character in question is an anthropomorphic canine female and all of the images I uploaded into MJ were that same character in the same style just posed differently. Looking at the viewer, turned to the left, turned to the right, facing away from the viewer, etc. The third attempt I tried was I took just one image - not multiples, just one - and used tuner to try and generate a style based on the way the character looks. MJ tuner created a batch of 16 images but, unfortunately, none of them even remotely resemble what I was trying to create. Having dealt with A.I. art tools for close to a year now I'm sure the character I was trying to upload and use was not NWFW in any way. Again, an anthropomorphic canine fully dressed, to the point of a turtleneck shirt on the character. No skin "exposure" or anything of that sort. The character images I uploaded in every instance were fully clothed with no inappropriate content and nothing in the prompt other than the style name I was assigning to MJ tuner. I'm not expecting you to do anything else with this. I was just passing this along for informational purposes in case it is useful for someone else having similar issues. As a side question, has anyone else in the last 24 hours after Sam Altman was given the boot, ChatGPT has been running squirrely?
