00:00 🖌️ The challenge in Midjourney is generating consistent characters across different scenes. 00:29 🚫 No need for Photoshop or Dream Booth model; the method is entirely within Midjourney. 00:43 🌟 Learn to seamlessly insert character "Elara" into any scene regardless of pose, lighting, or composition. 01:38 📝 Writing a simple description as a prompt is sufficient for generating characters. 02:58 ✂️ Use Very Region to erase and modify character parts for better integration. 04:07 🔄 Combine image and text prompts for precise character generation. 05:24 🌈 Consistency lies in key features like chin shape, eye color, and nose size. 06:15 🔄 The method can be applied to any character style or genre. 08:07 🖼️ Create a character design sheet for reference in different poses and styles. 09:32 🌌 Use image prompts to shift character into new settings or scenarios. 11:48 🧐 Fine-tune features like eyes, mouth, nose, and ears for consistency. 15:54 🛠️ Iteration and fine-tuning lead to a consistent and versatile character.

Pinned for easy access ♥️, thanks man

[@mrajperry]

THANK YOU, this is the best walk through of the info I need for creating illustration for my graphic novels. You have just saved me a ton of hours struggling to get the right look. I really appreciate your info and will be checking out your other videos over the weekend. Keep up the great work.

[@Ryan-Fkrepublicnz]

just be aware that no image created this way is under copyright. The words you made, yes. The image no.

[@giri.goyo_yt]

Interesting. I had done the first part by following another tutorial where I created a prompt with various angles. You have taken it to the next level. Thank you for your time and energy and a clear concise video without the usual KZbin junk, jokes or self-indulgence. I will have to try this method tomorrow!

[@dred9126]

Yes sir!!!! this is the whole reason I started the Discord journey, and I highly appreciate you spreading this knowledge can't wait to get started.

[@paintingwithatwistbeaumont4070]

He has another video explaining how to use the prefer option set ❤

[@nathanswift8098]

This is seriously fantastic!! As a Midjourney newbie, this has been incredibly helpful for me, I'm finally starting to be able to create some of my more esoteric / non-human characters more consistently. Thank you, Glibatree!

[@mrdngm]

Brilliant tutorials as always! Thank you ❤

[@glibatree]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@silvie5524]

Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing. All very clear and explained at a good pace. Love the characters you've created :)

[@ToddDouglas1]

Thanks! It's working pretty good at first attempts. I was able to switch it from a painterly style to portrait pretty easy using this guide. :) Now I'll try to see if I can keep it in the same cartoon style next. Appreciate your hard work!

[@glibatree]

Amazing to hear! Glad you were able to get started with this so quickly. Curious for updates as you keep honing in on your character

[@robo3383]

Wow, thank you for the detailed instructions. I would never of figured this out on my own. Too cool!!

[@glibatree]

Glad you enjoyed! Yeah, it took me a bunch of trial and error- but I felt it was only a matter of time after Vary (Region) came out. The feature truly was a game changer.

[@dakilagames9136]

At last, the tutorial I've been hoping for! Your insights are always game-changing, and your advice never disappoints, and this topic on consistent character development is spot-on. Your perspective on maintaining character consistency in Midjourney is as incredible as I expected Can't wait for the next one! Thanks again 😄👍

[@glibatree]

Wow, you warm my heart! I'm glad I didn't disappoint. Good luck with your characters!!!

[@christinerobinson4700]

Yes, finally a video showing multiple steps to a character that can be used over and over, thanks so much Glibatree.

[@anti12568]

thank you! this definitely will improve my image gen. honestly didn't know this was a possible technique! Thanks again for the help

[@glibatree]

Awesome! Good luck generating your characters, I hope it goes well!

[@Author_SoftwareDesigner]

Holy cow, you figured it out man. Thanks!!! The best method I’ve seen this far!

[@glibatree]

Awesome man! I hope it leads to some great results for you :)

[@nayemi748]

I am a beginner and was desperately trying to get the same character in other poses using seeds and images I created before but got stuck.This helped me a lot! Thank you so much!!!! :D

[@TLOEric]

Man, I had zero idea that "prefer" was a thing, and I've been messing with midjourney since v1. thanks for the info dude!

[@xJadeWolfxx]

This is very helpful for someone who does have a lot of images of a character already but enjoys putting them in other scenes. Thank you!

[@Insidiouswolf]

The "no nonsense, get to the point, not asking for money" energy here has made an instant fan. Yes, everyone needs to make their money especially content creators taking time to help others, but those of us without the money....a profound thank you!

Oh that is very kind, thank you for watching and I hope it helps 🙏

[@steelrhinoceros]

your comment made me realize what he had done, and i did the same.

[@dherrington2001]

THANK YOU! I've been looking for a method to do this for months!

[@rasserfrasser]

Love all this exposure, thanks so much!

[@brendonkauffman4962]

I can barely wait to try this. Thank you so much!

[@thefacelessbiz]

This is awesome! And your method of teaching deserves an A+++. Thank you.

[@glibatree]

Appreciate it, thanks so much!

[@KANSCIOUS]

I can't thank you enough, finally great detailed advanced videos! I've been struggling with consistency juggling between /blends, using photoshop and back in, etc. This set up is worth it for the longer projects. Thanks again. What drives me a bit nuts is how MJ wants to constantly have the character look directly into "the camera", so 99% of images look like great rendered portraits. Getting consistent different angles would be amazing. Any tips?!

[@glibatree]

It's really important to reference the pose and angle separately and clearly in the prompt. My video about my Photorealistic Formula - as pretty practical insights about this

Been searching for THIS video for a year. Thanks, excellent content.

Much appreciated! Thanks so much

[@RedditLoreAnimations]

Definitely subscribing, this will help a lot for my channel as I need to keep the characters consistent with my story animations.

[@callyjackson1983]

Incredibly helpful. Thank you!

[@Ocodo]

Really helpful. Thanks!

[@glibatree]

Good luck making your own characters! I find the process really fun and satisfying~

[@PresKen3920]

TIP: if you want photo realism character sheets instead of animated, writing a variation of this works: A series of photos of a young woman in various poses, showcasing the same person but in slightly different ways. The woman is [insert description of character]. Once you generate a few times, you'll find a very realistic depiction of what you want, scale and generate variations from there and boom, you have the necessary photos you need to either use as is or save as a model reference.

[@AdrianSommeling_photography]

This is actually the most valuable midjourney video I have seen! I gonna give it a try... A lot

[@greasemonkey3091]

Damn it. Straight to the point. Speaks fast and answers what I had searched. Thank you!

THANK YOU! Very helpful video. Will need to rewatch again for sure though lol

[@raymin9241]

a great tutorial! prefer option set is a powerful tool, and I have created some amazing characters with a consistent look! Thank you!

[@RyanSmithElectroseed]

Great video bro keep them coming!

[@Ebencrowe]

Great video! What a rabbit hole this will be!

[@blisssenseripzyzz4evermiri176]

The issue I have with vary region is that everytime I use it the results are horrible, most of the time eyes will have different size for no reason, other times one eye will look one way and the other eye the other, other times eyes will not look anything like the reference, when changing the face the same will happen, gigantic heads, weird shaped heads, etc same issue for most features, I tried describing the eyes only, mentioning the eyes only, adding the style from the original prompt, removing the style from the original prompt, etc. Maybe it's because I'm using it for 2d images but it's not been fun.

[@gemstonebabyx]

Waiit I literally screamed with excitement when you said to push the like button and the entire outside of the button lit up! HOW did you do that?? Futuristic asf loved it

damn it, that`s a kind of a tutorial!!! I am going to try it to get my characters for a new book project now...

[@glibatree]

I love it! Good luck, I'd be super curious to see how it goes

[@ai-lucas]

Wow! This is a whole new world.

[@RichErmlick]

Great tutorial. Thanks!!

[@jonimillar]

Amazing tutorial, thank you! How are you able to draw like that when doing using vary region? I can only make it draw squares.

[@katsorens]

you should be able to select the lasso to draw. i can't actually enter the character prompt after drawing in vary region. there is no text box. any ideas?

[@coldstarart]

🔥🔥Awesome, thx for sharing 😎👍

[@benugdsen75]

This is great advise. What I’ve been frustrated about is consistency. Now, how do you do the same with clothing and shoes? These Ai tools can’t be used in visual storytelling unless you get the same result every time. The randomness makes it hard for me to use this, but thanks to videos like this, I’m learning more and more. Thank you. 🙏🏾😊

[@glibatree]

I tend to get the same clothing as the original when I don't in paint and simply generate prompts with my character prefer option.

[@glibatree]

But, if you do that your control over scene and pose and lighting is pretty hindered. You could also go through a consistent character workflow with the objects in question so you can in paint with them as well

[@erigo1403]

Excellent video

[@Boomshankarim]

this guy is amazing

[@abderrahmanerrami3034]

Thanks man

[@garagec8]

I really enjoyed this video, just like all the others. Thank you so much. I've got a problem. I've managed to consistently achieve the same design and that's ok. The only thing is, the character always stands upright, and I can't put it in other positions. What I'd really like is for it to be photographed in various poses and angles. I'm concerned that the photos in the options, always in a standing position, might negatively impact the new edits. How do I work around this?

[@garagec8]

I understood why. eExcept for my previous thanks, don't take the above comment into consideration."

[@glibatree]

Glad to hear you got it working!

[@Chin715]

What did you do to get it working?

[@tmayoria511]

ive beein watching videos about character consistency for hours. This is the first one that actually shows an extremely good process. Also I dont know what you meant with "this video is already long" I would have watched you for 90 minutes at this video / explanation quality. --Subscribe

[@tmayoria511]

update. I have midjourney now. My stuff doesnt look photorealistic at all no matter how often i write "Photo of" and "photorealistic picture" I also tried out different modes, raw mode, stylize and everything. It just looks fake as f. Dont know what he is doing differently at all. pretty shtty

[@JN003]

brilliant vid! Is it possible to have multiple of the same characters across different images? (eg if you wanted to create a film type storyboard and need the same characters in each scene)

[@GrefTek]

Thank you for this very comprehensive step by step explanation how you can make consistent characters. I do run into an issue when I try the vary region. Where you have a text prompt in your dialogue where you give the elara prompt I have no text field in which I can instruct the bot to replace that region with characteristics of my character. am I doing something wrong?

[@GrefTek]

I found out you need to have /prefer remix enabled. Solved the mystery! 😁

[@glibatree]

That's the one haha!

[@Kokolloris]

First, thanks for your great tutorial videos! So very helpful. But I ran into some troubles, and I would really appreciate it if you could offer some more advice. I created a character model, following your workflow by the letter, after I started creating scenes and trying to insert my --character into it using vary region, again just like you said to do, BUT often midjourney just doesn't insert my character at all. It even deletes the previous character and inserts nothing...fills the selected region with background....or weird body parts instead of a whole body. Any insights?

[@glibatree]

For this I try to leave little pieces of my character's frame outside of my selection. (Like a bit of the arm, some hair, maybe the nose) That way, since it knows where the arm is, which way the nose is pointing etc, it can place the character where I want then in the pose I want it in. Other than that I would need to see the prompt you created, though I don't think KZbin lets you, so you might want to join the discord and someone there can give more specific help

[@yukonice-cream8623]

Wow! This method works very well for consistent characters! Thanks. Any suggestions of a prompt that would work for just objects. For example, I want to have, say a silly peculiar looking school bus, but from different angles and viewpoints (i.e., from the side, the front...). Thanks again, Y.

[@glibatree]

Yeah I would probably change the prompt to generate the grid to something like this: /imagine prompt:A 3D Rendered cartoon style grid of a __________________ as see from many angles. Same object front, side, top, isometric, and everything in between. Then see if following the same procedure otherwise works for you

[@yukonice-cream8623]

Thanks! I'll give that a try.@@glibatree

[@yvettebergvangroeningen]

Thank you for your video's! I can't get this prefer option to work with the several screenshots I inserted. What could I be missing?

[@davidbaity7399]

Thank you!!!

[@AJ-kv1po]

Awesome, thanks

[@cembulutizmir8424]

Great help thanks

[@Caryson122]

Can your technique be used to generate consistant animals like a dog or cat?

[@glibatree]

I have been pretty successful with a dog, haven't tried much with a cat - but there's no reason it shouldn't work. Give it a try - I'd love to hear how it goes!

[@HKER-bx3pl]

I thank you 3000!

[@UFOandUAPHistory]

Aloha, great video. When I am using Midjourney I am not seeing the editable description in my Vary (region) screen. Any idea about that? Using the latest 5.2 version...

thanks for the video, could you explain plz if it is possible to use a personal photo as a reference to generate an acrylic colored style for the same person? thanks

[@AbsolutesausageJockey]

Like your vibe 🎉

[@Gabriecielo]

Great thanks for the tutorial. I met an issue on MJ, every time I tried to ask him/her to paint a character's multiple expressions and poses, he/she always gave me one expression/pose with 4 angles rotation. Which actually blocking me from gathering more expressions and poses for same character to "/prefer option set", I actually tried, but with limited expression the result of locking same character is not good.

[@amineelhailaa8224]

very informative ty

[@jackiythomas1965]

Love you videos, I created the style sheet, however, how do I screen shot individual images to move to the next step?

[@lilillllii246]

Thank you at all times. Is it only possible to take pictures from Midjourney? Is there any way to make my photos various poses and facial expressions for example?

[@esrevinu.]

liked the video because you do NOT get pushy about liking the video, and I did, like that vibe haha,... then I stayed cuz the content is great too. Thx for the help, navigating AI prompts is both so simple and so ridiculous at the same time for a new user lol

[@esrevinu.]

subbed at the end, cuz I like the vibe and content. Excellent work. Thx again for the help, and some inspiration. Ill be watchin.

[@mxlinuxpl]

Thank you one more time! ;)

[@dialac1]

Glad I’m subscribed to you

[@ezdeezytube]

My issue with this process is I when I collect the most representative photos of my character, and try to set them with the /prefer option, the output photos look nothing like my input photos, and I have to start over. So it's not iterating forward, but reverting to something away from my input photos.

[@theanxietydr]

that's happening to me too.

[@destinybrooke4412]

THANK YOU!!!!!!!

[@tommyintheattic3449]

Hi man, great video!! Question; At 10;48 min you say copy this right here... It's a bit small on the computer...What exactly are you copying? The /prefer option set altogether, the urls one by one? Do we have to create a new /prefer option set? Are you just copying and pasting the '--Purpo' in reference and changing the prompt to a more realistic photo? I got the fact that the 'realistic' part will come from the new prompt, I just wonder what I need to give it before that. If I need to re-create a new prefer option set or just the ref name of the character --(name of character that points to the option set)? Thank you for your help! ;))
