How to Create Consistent Characters in Midjourney! (Full Guide) ✨

The video begins with an introduction to a step-by-step system for creating consistent characters within a project called Mid-Journey. The presenter shares a method that doesn't require expensive tools like Photoshop and is accessible for free. The workspace used is Art Studio 2.0, which includes a consistent characters hub for organization. The presenter also mentions a link for purchasing the workspace and dives into the process of creating consistent characters, starting with setting up a project and character files in Notion.

The second paragraph focuses on fleshing out a character named Jane and creating a character design sheet. The process involves thinking about the character's features, role, and linking them to a specific project. The presenter uses a simple prompt to guide the AI in generating a consistent design, emphasizing the importance of simplicity to avoid overwhelming the AI. The design sheet serves as a base model for future character images and is refined through testing and iteration.

The third paragraph details the process of isolating characters from the design sheet using free tools like 'I Love Image' for cropping and 'Backgroundcut.co' for background removal. The presenter explains the importance of having clean, background-free character images to ensure the AI, Mid-Journey, references only the character when generating variations. This step is crucial for maintaining consistency and clarity in character design.

The fourth paragraph describes uploading the prepared character images to Mid-Journey and using them as references to create character variations. The presenter demonstrates how to copy image links and incorporate them into a prompt to guide Mid-Journey in generating images that match the desired character expressions and poses. The process requires patience and may involve tweaking the prompt for the best results.

The fifth paragraph illustrates how to generate specific character poses and expressions using the uploaded references. The presenter provides an example of generating a running pose with a laughing expression, emphasizing the need for patience and experimentation. The process includes upscaling the generated images for better detail and adjusting the prompts for each new expression or pose.

The sixth paragraph covers organizing the generated character variations in Notion for easy access and reference. The presenter demonstrates creating a database entry for each character variation, linking it to the main character and the project. This organization system allows for efficient management of character images and their variations, essential for larger projects.

The seventh paragraph guides through creating scenes for the characters using the running pose as an example. The presenter explains the process of adding a background to the character using Canva and adjusting the character's size and angle to fit the scene naturally. The final step is uploading the scene to Notion and linking it to the character, variation, and project for a comprehensive organization.

In the final paragraph, the presenter wraps up the tutorial by summarizing the process of creating and organizing consistent characters within Mid-Journey and Notion. They highlight the benefits of using the provided AI Art Studio 2.0 workspace for a more in-depth experience and offer the opportunity to purchase it. The presenter also invites viewers to subscribe and share their thoughts, indicating the end of the tutorial.
