How to Create Consistent AI Characters: In this 5-Step Workflow I'll show you how to transform your character creation process from random generation to consistent, professional results. I'll guide you through moodboard creation, prompt optimization, quality enhancement, and environment integration, delivering consistent AI characters that maintain their unique identity across different scenes and contexts.
Best AI Tools for Consistent Character Creation
Quick links to the top AI image generator consistent character tools mentioned in this guide.
1
Build Strategic Moodboards for Consistent Character AI
- Start with intentional character planning, don't just randomly generate (think like a director)
- Navigate to Pinterest, Cosmos or similar platforms to get references
- Search specific character traits with consistency in mind (example: "french model, ginger hair, freckles")
- Select the ones you like into organized collections
- Focus on unified styling that that matches your project vision
2
Create Consistent Characters with AI Using Optimized Prompts
- Screenshot your curated moodboard collection
- Use this custom GPT that analyzes your moodboard and creates detailed prompts for consistent AI characters
- Refine the generated prompt with specific consistency markers (eye color, facial structure, distinctive features)
3
Generate Your Consistent Character Base Using Leonardo AI
- Paste the prompt into Leonardo AI
- Upscale in Leonardo to enhance detail and reduce AI artifacts
- The better the image quality is now, the better the results will in the next steps
4
Achieve Midjourney Character Consistency Through Advanced Processing
- Import your consistent character base into MidJourney using omni-reference (--oref) for highest consistency (I kept the weight at -- ow 300)
Apply this studio photography prompt for consistent character Midjourney results:
Dutch-angle 28mm flash portrait, shot from ground level up, white studio photography- This generates a studio-style portrait that serves as a clean foundation for environment work
- Go back to Leonardo AI to upscale this so we get the most detailed image
5
Maintain AI Consistent Characters Across Different Environments
- Use your upscaled studio portrait as omni-reference in MidJourney
- Craft environment-specific prompts for character placement (you can also adjust the model's details such as hair colour, outfit etc. in the prompt)
- Use ChatGPT to help you craft the prompts and creative direction
- Test character consistency by generating the same character in 3–5 different environments
- Apply final upscaling to achieve the best and most realistic results
