This is a total revolution. Have written my book 5 years ago and got stuck on illustration. Can I upload a sketch and ask ChatGPT to create a consistent character off of that?

[@ivyhang5084]

Thank you so much for your comment 😊 Regarding your question you - it is definitely doable but it may still take some patience and trial and error with AI to get to the exact outcome you have in your mind especially with consistent characters. Feel free to also check out my latest video on fiverr illustrators as well in case you are interested: I hired 5 different illustrators on Fiverr and turned my 8-year old into a self-published KDP author kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHvYfoaClM9ga9E

[@jwtowne]

How do you make the characters look in a different directions instead of looking at the camera, or looking at them from different angles, like from behind (back to the camera, looking to the side and up at something, etc.) Simply stating these things in the directions doesn't seem to work.

[@ivyhang5084]

For the initial character generation where you are putting in the characteristics like age, clothing, etc. just let it generate facing forward. After that in the next variation, you can ask for side profile, backside, etc. Those should work :)

[@heidib8146]

Is there a way to make corrections to the ChatGPT character images that are NOT consistent such as the eye color and boots shown in your video? Once you approved of the character design, why did ChatGPT AI generate different features from what you approved? Also, can ChatGPT or Canva Magic media generate the images to have a shadow cast so that character does not look like they are floating when you insert the character image onto a background image ? Thank you

[@ivyhang5084]

Thanks for your question. Regarding consistent characters with AI, there is always going to be an element of trial and error to get to the desired consistency. The best thing you could do is to be as descriptive as possible in your prompt so that the AI can generate precisely what you have in mind and be as consistent as possible from image to image (for example, you can even specify eye color and style of boots -i.e. with laces, no laces, etc.) Yes, Canva has the ability to add a shadow to your graphic elements :)

[@Mariamshokeye]

great stuff

[@ivyhang5084]

Thank you so much! :)

[@joanbernardo9834]

Hello. Very useful video. Question. Once you create the image and download, how would you send that image to an editor - and would they be able to manipulate the image re sizing. Thank you.

[@ivyhang5084]

Thanks for your kind comment! You can actually just open up the webfile and click on "save as" option to save it as a PNG. So basically if your file name is say, "image01", you can just rename it "image01.png" and it will automatically save it as that. Once you have it in that format, then you can upload it to Canva to manipulate the image / sizing. Or you can also just open up the word file and then copy it (Ctrl +C) and then paste it (Ctrl+V) directly on to your Canva template. Hope this helps!

[@vonniejohnson2966]

I have a question. How do you change the things that are not consistent as the glasses color and frame design and the T-shirt color

[@ivyhang5084]

Best way is to actually specify those things when you put in your original prompt to describe the character :). Be as descriptive as possible. Otherwise you also use canva magic studio to try to edit after but would be easiest to just do it at the prompt stage ;)

[@soniquebeetge3115]

Awesome! So how or where do I print the story in an actual book

[@ivyhang5084]

Thanks for your kind comment! Regarding your question - timing cannot be more perfect as I had just published a new video exactly on this topic today! Hope you'll find it helpful :) Link below: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6GpaJpuocqbba8

[@travelingboy_]

Super informative video. Thank you for the sharing. I have a question, by the way. 1) I created "Tom" and made a couple of images. 2) Then, I created a new charactor named "Jenny" and made some images. 3) If I want to make more images of "Tom" the next day, will they keep the consistency as the day before?

[@ivyhang5084]

Thanks for your kind comment and question! Technically it should be the same but I typically try to do it all in one sitting. Also with AI you will have to be a bit more patient and may need some trial and error before you get your desired results :) all the best!

[@cassbrion6099]

I cant find the explore GPT on my dashboard. It only says explore. Im using chat gpt 4. Please help.

[@ivyhang5084]

Thanks for your question and sorry I missed responding to this. If you are in ChatGPT 4 and have the subscription then you should technically see explore gpts. But if you don’t can you try to click on “explore” and see if it gives you the ability to search for the consistent characters gpt bot?

[@paloupis]

I created a sketch drawing of two children in mid-journey that is perfect for my project. But when I try to recreate the same style asking for a mom and dad, I get something completely different. I've tried copying the seed number, etc., but I still cannot recreate my desired style. HELP!

[@ivyhang5084]

Sorry for my delayed response as I missed this comment previously. I would recommend using the exact same wording you used for your original prompt for the children and just swap out the descriptions for mom and dad, and see if you can get to a similar style. For example if your original prompt was “black and white pencil sketch of a little girl”, try to do “black and white pencil sketch of a woman ..”. But try to be as descriptive as possible. It may take a number of tries to get it right though. Good luck!!

[@youvandal411vm]

This video is just made for views. I've tried 20 different tutorials online and none of them are consistent. You can follow the instructions in all of them to the T including the descriptions and never get consistent results.

[@zhouannie9907]

Do you know how to use Midjourney or Leonardo to create same constant characters?

[@ivyhang5084]

I have previously posted a video on using midjourney for consistent characters a while back (linked here in case you are interested in checking it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJW2eoOhl9umm80 ). Although this new method using GPT4 is much easier in my opinion :)

[@africandiaries]

Hello! Are these images royalty free?

[@ivyhang5084]

You are able to use these for kdp publishing at this time but will just need to transparently check off the checkbox that asks you whether you’ve used Ai to help create your books when uploading it to kdp. Hope this helps!

[@coloresclares]

Thank you. I thought it was harder. I have a question- Do you have the copyrights to the images and everything to publish and use freely? Won't it give very similar images or even the same to someone else? Thank you :)

[@breanat1508]

I made my idea in Bing Dall-e but I cannot get the seed numbers so, do you have any suggestions?

[@Greatness-within]

Bing doesn't allow seed numbers. Unfortunately you'll have to get chat GPT 4

[@bilalkaratas2058]

Thanks Ivy. Is it limited with 4 images for same character?

[@ivyhang5084]

You can technically keep generating after 4 images :)

[@user-sw5vw4qi5i]

Why i am not able to generate different moods of character like laughing pose, frowning pose, thinking pose, yawning pose. When i uee image to image options. It keeps showing same facial expression. This in leornado ai

[@ivyhang5084]

I do find leonardo ai is a bit more limiting in their features. If you want consistency with different poses, I personally prefer the chatgpt 4/ DALL-E option. Hope you manage to get it to work!

[@chacochan-jv9md]

At the end of the page should we put copyright something?

Are people now posting ai children's books to Amazon and making sales now? I know everybody was afraid of having their accounts shut down. I would really like to. So many ideas. Subbed already because I love your stuff!

[@ivyhang5084]

Thanks for your kind comment and support! I would just make sure you still use your own creativity for designing the plot of the story and laying out the scenes of each page in canva etc to ensure overall originality. :). Also when uploading to kdp, just make sure you are transparent and honest about the extent of AI usage (ie AI assisted etc as they will ask you this question when you try to upload). Hope this helps!

[@StorytimeWithJae]

I have been this trying this consistent character app but I never get asked these questions. This is what I got “Of course! To get started, could you describe the character you have in mind? Please include details about their appearance, style, and any unique features you'd like to see.” I don’t know what I’m missing

[@ivyhang5084]

There are different consistent character apps on ChatGPT 4 so it’s possible you may have used a different version? Maybe try to go to explore gpts again and see if you find a different instance :)

[@StorytimeWithJae]

@@ivyhang5084 thank you!

[@gotubo]

Hi Ivy, thank you for your helpful video 🙏🏼 Do you know if is possible to create an character using chat GTP using a picture as example?

[@ivyhang5084]

Thanks for your kind comment! Regarding your question, it is possible, although the results are a bit hit or miss and you might have to go through a bit of trial and error to land on an image that looks a lot like the photo you uploaded. It is sometimes better to just try to describe it in detail in words and see if it generates. But definitely worth a try! :)

[@gotubo]

Thank you so much for your prompt response. 🙏🏼

[@parkourvids]

Do I only need a paid version of chatgbt for this features?

[@ivyhang5084]

You will need to upgrade from ChatGPT 3.5 to ChatGPT to use this capability. Aside from making consistent characters there are also lots of cool apps you can use on version 4 like making coloring pages etc.

[@ChristineLeger-ht9sq]

will this work to make animal characters?

[@debbienicoll8420]

Hi Ivy, I am creating a book and already have a character I would like to use. Is there a way to use my image in chat GPT to do the same thing? thx Deb

[@ivyhang5084]

Thanks for your question! This may be a bit trickier, but you can try uploading a picture of your character to chat GPT and then prompting it for a different pose. Although realistically, it may take quite a bit of trial and error to get to the results you want though. All the best!

[@PennysPorch]

Thank you. How can you download the actual images? I could only download the web file. How do you tell ChatGPT the character is not consistent? Thanks so much!!!

[@ivyhang5084]

Thanks for your comment. Regarding your question, after you download the webfile you can always open it up then select "Save As", and then rename the file name from what is right now (say, "image01" for example) to "image01.png". So just add ".png" to whatever the existing file name is. That will automatically convert it to a png file. You can then upload that into Canva to complete your design. Regarding character not consistent on Chat GPT, you can actually just tell them that in human language. However, it does take a bit of trial and error sometimes depending on how complicated your images are. Hope this helps!

Yes, it would work but you would have to be as descriptive as possible. I do, however, find that it works better for humans than for animals though.

[@alisaandersen8441]

The biggest problem I see (other than the fact that it looks like it’s AI generated), is that your character has no shadow. It looks like she’s floating in air. I don’t know if this will pass the “AI test” on Amazon

There is a capability on Canva to add in the shadows, but i do see what you mean :)
