This is awesome stuff. One thing to get the red streak is to RUN her character first, to get her as you wanted , then use the text prompts with her as an Image Ref, and Say, "A bright red Colored Highlight streak in her hair that goes from the scalp of her hair to the tips" you can also add Style Ref images to the prompt if you want a consist painting style, that will maintain the same look throughout your book.

Newbie on this particular stuff. How would I get the system to look to an image that I have on my computer? Do I need to upload to a cloud, and set a URL for the link?

[@gnome2024]

Great idea. I did just that a few months ago for a book cover to my dads memoirs when he was growing up in Poland. I took a whole chapter, reduced it with chatgpt, plug it in as a prompt and I get an awesome book cover the first attempt! Im also using my dads voice to make an audio version with elevenlabs. A very long ways from being done but its exciting.

[@bradscheller]

Great! I used a derivation in both Claude and Gemini and they worked really well. Gemini was able to send it right to image. One thing I added was a step where I pick which setting to add to end to designate the style of image. Based on picking from a list, the AI added it efficiently and generated the image. An improvement I would love to add is a list of all the various settings that could be used for the style. Also, a selection prompt for things like orientation and any other choices that one would make to the image generator (such as Midjourney). Any idea where such a list may already exist?

Here it is: You will be given a book chapter or article text. Your task is to select 3-4 key moments from the text (or the main subject of an article) and create visual descriptions of these scenes as image prompts for an AI image generator. Follow these steps: 1. Read and analyze the following text you are given carefully. Take note of character and location details. 2. Select 3-4 key moments from the text. These should be significant scenes or events that are crucial to the narrative or content. Or they could be a singular character portrait. 3. For each key moment, create a visual description to be used as an image prompt. Follow these guidelines for each prompt: a. Begin with the most important part of the prompt (the main subject) near the beginning. b. Focus on 1-2 subjects maximum, describing each separately. c. Include key details, separated by commas. d. The prompt doesn't need to be grammatically correct; it can be a list of image details. e. Be specific and descriptive, including details about setting, characters, actions, and atmosphere. f. Describe characters without naming them (e.g., "a young man standing in a field," not "Tom standing in a field"). g. Include the general time period or setting, especially if it is not modern (e.g., "medieval village," "Victorian street"). h. Make sure the characters and locations include accurate descriptive details from the text and that these are consistent across your 3-4 prompts. 4. Format your output as follows: Prompt 1: [Your first image prompt here] Prompt 2: [Your second image prompt here] Prompt 3: [Your third image prompt here] Prompt 4: [Your fourth image prompt here] 5. End each prompt with the following: "watercolor children's illustration, simple illustration, wonderous" Remember, each prompt should be concise yet vivid, capturing the essence of the key moment in a way that can be visually represented. Avoid abstract concepts and focus on concrete, visual elements.

[@jsa-z1722]

Thanks for this! Does this prompt ensure character consistency over a range of images?

[@Ank3rman]

If you subscribe to a program like Flux or whatever, they have tools that allow you to do a face swap. Generate the image with the prompt, then swap the face with your character's.

[@tracy419]

​@@Ank3rmanCan you do this for multiple characters? I've been looking for a way to create several characters that I'd like to turn into a mixed reality educational cartoon, where the characters interact with my real world but I'm not sure we are quite there yet. The characters would need to be consistent between episodes, and potentially overlap video or images in the real world.

[@Ank3rman]

@@tracy419 I believe so. Matt Wolfe has a recent video on AI he uses every day and he went through the process for creating a thumbnail in flux. You just paint over which face you want to swap and upload the reference image. It's definitely doable with today's technology but it might require just a little effort and know-how.

We should talk, I built a gpt that gives reviews on chapters up to 5k words in the personalities of known popular A.I.'s such as Bender, HAL, Johnny 5, and so many more. It's awesome for scifi writers to play with. And kinda legit too. It wasn't nice to some of my work, I'll be honest

[@robrichardson1356]

One question: How do you keep the image of your character(s) consistent from chapter to chapter?

[@Ank3rman]

If you subscribe to a program like Flux or whatever, they have tools that allow you to do a face swap. Generate the image, then swap the face.

[@LTHanlon]

Midjourney lets you specify a reference image.

[@MagnusItland]

In MidJourney, generate the character and refine it with any details you want included. Then use the character reference --cref to refer to this master image in later images. The format is --cref followed by the URL (internet address) where you have stored the image online. If generated in MidJourney, you can use the address where you created it in the first place, or you could use any hosting service. You can only use it for single characters currently, so if you have side characters in the image, you may want to add them in a separate step afterward, or they may all resemble the main character.

What if you run a local generator like ComfyUI for example? What model would be good to use to "try" and generate a novel style images from CivitAI? I have a ton of models so far that does SFW and NSFW of course. But, I'm willing to get a model that can do the style.

Thank you so much for this very excellent video.

This is excellent, exactly what I was looking for. Subscribed!!!

[@baltiir2953]

So, you want people to buy your book. (pay you for your work). but you wouldn't pay an artist for theirs? you can get a book cover for £50 easy. some will do work based on a profit share.. just need to actually look. instead of using a plagiarism machine an paying thieves (midjourney).

[@MagnusItland]

Yeah, "young girl" seems to be code for prepubescent now. I see this in US news a lot too. Maybe it is like how the "young adult" audience has become younger and younger. "Teen girl" seems to work, but giving an exact age may be better.

[@LucTaylor]

I did an illustrated story (I'll add a link below) and getting the characters to look the same was a NIGHTMARE... but maybe it's because I wasn't using Midjourney and that was the mistake? kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6HUYa2om8aLrcUsi=HgHaWigVKK7Zn3lf
