Awesome! I was looking for something like this for moths! I'm using Leonardo since last year, but never tried all the stuff it offers. I always tough that "train models" was something to do with the style of the image, not with a character, so I never go there and try it :) Thank you mate, you made my day brighter!

[@blogwithben]

Thanks a lot! I'm glad you found the tutorial helpful. There are many ways to go about consistent characters, but these two methods got me the best results in Leonardo.ai. Best of luck to you and have fun!

[@Itestedthis]

Outstanding tutorial, so comprehensive and yet simple to follow with nothing left out. The teaching pace was perfect and you are to be commended on your style. A rarity in the field of free online tutorials. Thank you Ben!

[@blogwithben]

You're very welcome! That's so nice of you to say. Means a lot and I really appreciate the kind words. I put a lot of work into these tutorials and I'm glad to hear that you getting some value out of them. Thanks again and best of luck to you!

[@TanChoonHong]

For me this is the best tute on the subject. Detailed yet concise and precise, all steps clearly demonstrated. Thanks Ben for sharing. 👍👍

Great walk through, can't wait to watch your other videos

[@hermitcell8568]

A great video, I followed you every step of the way with every prompt you did. It was really good and very informative regarding the very final finish with her very blue eyes. I did the alchemy upscaling and it was perfect. I wish I had a photo to show you try it it’s really worked out well. I took away the blue eyes and it was brilliant. Anyway you have a new subscriber thank you

[@blogwithben]

That's so awesome to hear! It sounds like you definitely have the process down! Nice work and thanks for using the tutorial. I really appreciate it!

Would like to see a video with photographs of yourself being tweaked kind of overwhelming for a beginner like me, thanks for sharing very cool ⭐🙏🔥👍

[@blogwithben]

Great suggestion! Thanks for watching too!

[@maxwellcoleshow]

This is a great tutorial and probably the best one that I’ve come across online that really explained how to do this properly, also I think the eyes were extra blue because it was still left in the prompt, despite using the model which the eyes were already defined, so it may have enhanced the blue in her eyessimply because it was repeated. At least, that’s my assumption.

[@blogwithben]

Thanks so much! Yeah, you're probably right. I'll experiment with different prompts and see if that makes a difference. Great suggestion.

[@premioroja]

Hi Ben! Great video, really useful. But I'm looking to tell a story with images. Somehow like storyboarding in a comicbook style. Whats could be the process? Should I train the dataset with comicbook style images or more like a human-like model?

[@blogwithben]

Thanks for watching! Why not try both? You could generate two separate but consistent image styles by using the image generator and then train two models with those two separate datasets to see which one would work for your story boards. Do you think you could do that? Great idea though. I love the idea of using these characters for a storyboard!

[@SvenGeorgiev]

I m totally new to Leonardo but boy am I glad I was introduced to it and also found your video. This is lightyears ahead of Firefly, Copilot image generator or even MJ (in terms of user friendliness). Two questions: after watching this vid - using the seed method produces MUCH better results. Why would you train a model? I thought it would be better but it was WAY worse. 2nd - Can u update this vid as Leonardo introduced the image guidance feature which apparently makes this whole process easier and better (?)

[@phyllisrodgers4607]

Thanks!

What are the dimensions to use for 16 :9 you tube video

[@StudyEnglishwithFrank]

Really great tutorial! Question ... If I am building a longer story about characters in a workplace setting, is it possible to use two or three trained models in one scene? Can I just use the models names and get a consistent look?

[@blogwithben]

Hi! Thanks so much for watching! I've actually gotten that question quite a bit and I haven't had a chance to test it. I don't think it's possible at the moment, but I suppose you could try to create a consistent image with three main characters and use that seed image as the base for future prompts. I don't think it's possible with the trained model though. At least not yet. :)

[@morpheus2573]

Thanks. Great tutorial. For using characters in storytelling we need consistency in outfits as well. So, presumably, if you prompted her wearing a white T-shirt, denim jeans and white sneakers, you could generate enough images of her in that outfit to pretty much guarantee consistency of both face and outfit, right?

[@blogwithben]

Yes, exactly. However, it won't be perfect. I've found that you have to really drill down your prompts to get the outfits consistent. There was always a little variation in the clothes when I tried that. Great question though. I think the tech is getting there and we will be able to do what you're needing very soon. Thanks so much for watching and using the tutorial. I really appreciate it!

[@VincentNoot]

Pretty helpful

[@blogwithben]

Glad you think so! Thanks for watching and using the tutorial.

[@koenstorms8781]

What a great video!! I have a very important question. How do I create one image with two characters? For example, I am telling a story about a elderly man and a young traveler. First I generate the two characters walking on a path but I can't create a picture of them both talking to each other. Then I get other characters every single time. So my question is; can you generate two characters and make scenes with them? For example walking on a path, sitting on a bench. Thanks in advance I really love your content

[@blogwithben]

Hmmmmm that's a really good question. I've never tried that, but it would be interesting to test. I would try to make them their own unique characters in the prompt and then use that seed for the origitnal image of both of the characters and see the new images make both characters consistent in the new image generations. Thanks for watching and good luck!

[@koenstorms8781]

@@blogwithben I tried that already but is doesn't work in my opinion. Thanks for responding, I really appreciate it, just like your content!

[@omoklamok]

what the use of model and training if need to stick to the prompt it seems midjourney are more stable in chracter reference

[@blogwithben]

Thanks for watching! I have yet to test Midjourney's consistent character reference, but you could be right. I've just found Loenardo's to be easier to manipulate. I need to test Midjourney though. I'll do that this weekend! Great suggestion!

[@ModuleAYX]

Nice

[@brianhopson2072]

My biggest issue with using Leonardo for character models which I have done for over a year.Is that if you change the actual generation model then it will lose the actual features for the character and adapt it to the style of that model. When Leonardo updated their photo real the diversion 2 it screwed up the output of all my characters.So I still use version 1 for them. I like the output better.Anyway after you run it through universal upscale post edit.

[@blogwithben]

Great point. If you find a version that works best for you then by all means, use that one. Thanks so much for watching!

[@falcon81701]

Thanks for this however I noticed my model looks different in full body poses. It's like the facial features deviate away from the original trained model the further the face is away from the "camera"

[@blogwithben]

Hi! Thanks so much for watching! I've found that there is some variation in the body types as well. I have faith that it will improve over time, but for now it's kind of test and experiment as you go. Thanks again for watching!

It was great, thanks But how about if we want to create consistent family? For example, parents and three children and have them together or individually in different conditions and scenes, it is possible?

[@blogwithben]

Thanks for watching! I've actually gotten that question quite a bit and I haven't had a chance to test it. I don't think it's possible at the moment, but I suppose you could try to create a consistent image with four main characters and use that seed as the base for future prompts. I don't think it's possible with the trained model though. At least not yet. :)

[@user-sw5vw4qi5i]

how to create consistent characters on multiple characters, when using leonardo ai for multiple characters to show consistent we are getting wrong output. Is there a way to have two or more character who are having multiple poses

[@blogwithben]

That is a great question and I haven't tested out 2 characters yet. You could try writing extremely descriptive prompts for both characters and naming them. Then use that seed image and use their names in the future prompts to see if they carry over to the new prompt.

[@thomaseigermann1520]

I have a question: when i generate for example 8 Images. And take thad Seed. Is that Seed for all the 8 Images? It is possible to take the Seed from a chosen Image, only one?

[@blogwithben]

Hey! Thanks for watching. Great question. As far as I know, all we can do now is get a seed from a set of image generations.

[@thomaseigermann1520]

@@blogwithben Yes and that is not good

[@injookim6552]

If i try to use it for my story characters, should i training model for each character separately?

[@blogwithben]

Thanks for watching and great question. Yes, I would train the model separately for each character. I don't think we can create consistent characters in the same setting at the moment. Hopefully in the near future though!

You can mass download if you go to personal feed and are a paid sub.

Still its good enough there are other apps that can do this like Sea art AI what we need is conisistent clothing and detailed designing

I know of a third way to create consistent images, would anyone like to know ? and if you go in to your personal feed you can download numerous pictures at once, so go to your personal feed and on the top right select "select images" , select your images, and to the top right, now click where it says download and it will download a folder with the images you selected..

[@NarkeEmpire]

Why not "Character" in the category of the fine-tuned model?

[@blogwithben]

Thanks for watching! Not sure. That could be some good feedback for Leonardo to include in their next update. :)

[@NarkeEmpire]

@@blogwithben no i mean there already is and it's visible in your video (it's the second item in the list of categories), i was wondering why you didn't chose it (but given the answer i guess you missed it 😂)

[@blogwithben]

Ahhhh I see now! Hahaha! Good eye. I'll try that next time!

[@kroanosm617]

I don't exactly agree with your definition of a seed. A seed is just a number used to create a noise pattern. So it's not actually an image itself. So if you create and image you like with that seed then you can use the exact same prompt along with other settings to recreate that image. Then you can change colors or other slight modifications and get slightly different results. I was confused when I first started because people keep saying "seed image". So in my mind I thought it was some random image of a bird or landscape or person.

[@blogwithben]

Thanks for watching. I get what you're saying. Your seed image set in Leonardo AI uses a fixed set of numbers, but it then represent the seed from what all other image generations are based off of. That's how I interpret it and teach it. I hope that helps and thanks again for watching!

[@kerryhook7694]

Fixed seed yet somehow her hair is now shorter in hotel lobby than it was in the fixed seed.

[@blogwithben]

Yeah, it's not perfect, but you gotta keep trying new prompts and molding it until you get the result you want. It's kind of like tech art in a way. Thanks for watching!

How do I make money from this?

[@5XM-Film]

You can‘t….. 🤣

[@blogwithben]

You absolutely can. Brand partnerships and sponsorships for example. Similar to human influencers, AI influencers can collaborate with brands to promote products or services. Because they can be tailored to embody the perfect brand ambassador, they offer a unique and controlled marketing avenue. Brands pay for their products to be featured, reviewed, or incorporated into the AI influencer's content. When your AI influencer has 300,000 Instagram followers, you can negotiate some lucrative deals.

[@blogwithben]

You create a social profile and grow the ai influencer's following. That the first step. Then you monetize via brand partnerships and sponsorships, social media monetization, merchandising, licensing and syndication, custom content creation, etc. There are multiple ways to monetize a large following.

[@Ceo3DITS]

@@blogwithben ok, but how do I grow the social media following quick? From your personal Experience.

Creating a consistent character is not hard now days, millions of videos out there, the hard part is to actually grow ur following and monetize.

[@blogwithben]

You're absolutely correct! However, I just wanted to show people how easy it was to create the character with Leonardo.ai. I'm a huge fan of their image generator and it's by far the easiest one I've ever used. As you said, the hard part is growing your social following. However, once you have a consistent character, it's just up to you to put in the work and start building an audience. Thanks for watching and good luck!

Getting money is always the most difficult thing. Humans invented this shit called money, then they made it as vital as water & oxygen, and then they made it near impossible to obtain.

[@moadhamdouchi6683]

Learn some copywriting That would help make the character interesting enough to get traction and help monetise.

[@DorianMenard]

It’s easy if you want to create influencers that are always facing the camera and dressed differently but if you want real consistency to create a story for a book or video, it’s another story…
