Consistent Characters in Midjourney just got 10X EASIER!!!
TLDRThe video introduces a new GPT tool called the 'Gilberry Consistent Character Assistant' designed to streamline the creation of consistent characters in Midjourney. The tool generates all necessary Midjourney commands, allowing users to transform a basic idea into a fully fleshed-out character set without writing a single prompt. The process begins with a character concept, which the GPT uses to create a prompt that can be pasted into Midjourney to generate a grid of character images. These images can then be used as references for Midjourney to maintain character consistency. The video also demonstrates how to upscale images, create character references, and use them in conjunction with prompts to place the character in various scenes. Additionally, it covers techniques to adjust the composition and aspect ratio of the generated images for creative freedom while ensuring character consistency. The presenter also highlights the organization features of the Midjourney platform, which simplifies the management of character references and prompts.

Q & A
What is the main purpose of the GPT mentioned in the transcript?
-The GPT, referred to as the 'gilberry consistent character assistant', is designed to save time when creating consistent characters in Midjourney by generating every Midjourney command needed.
How does the GPT enhance the basic description of a character?
-The GPT enhances the basic description by adding more details such as regal clothing with gold trim, flowing ringlets in purple hair, light blue eyes, and a friendly demeanor.
What does the GPT do when given a character description?
-The GPT generates a prompt that can be copied and pasted into Midjourney to create a grid full of images of the character from slightly different angles or expressions.
How can one refine the initial results generated by Midjourney?
-One can refine the results by regenerating a few versions of the same command in Midjourney or by going back into the GPT and asking it to make changes to the character through a conversation.
What is the significance of having a grid of images that look consistent?
-The consistent grid of images provides Midjourney with multiple references for character details, ensuring that every time it generates the next result, it has several options to reference how the character's features should look.
How does one upscale the images generated by Midjourney?
-After selecting a grid of images one likes, one can click the upscale button and choose 'upscale creative' to get a high-resolution version of the character.
What is the purpose of splitting the grid into separate references?
-Splitting the grid into separate references allows Midjourney to use them as character references (Cs) for future prompts, ensuring consistency in the character's appearance.
How does the GPT assist in creating prompts for different scenes?
-The GPT can be instructed to create multiple prompts that describe the character and place them in various scenes, which can then be pasted into Midjourney for image generation.
What is the benefit of using close-up portraits in the prompts?
-Using close-up portraits helps maintain consistency in the character's appearance, which is crucial for the character's details to be accurately referenced in subsequent Midjourney generations.
How can one maintain creative freedom while ensuring consistency in character images?
-One can use features like pan, zoom, chain aspect ratio, and vary region in Midjourney to transform the composition of the image without overriding the consistent face of the character.
How does the alpha site help in organizing character references?
-The alpha site allows users to organize character references (Cs) into different folders, making it simple to find and reuse them for future image generations.
What is the advantage of using the custom GPT for generating prompts?
-The custom GPT can create prompts that are detailed and consistent, ensuring that the characters generated by Midjourney match the desired description and maintain a certain level of detail and bias across different scenes.

🚀 Introduction to the Gilberry Consistent Character Assistant
The video introduces a new tool called the Gilberry Consistent Character Assistant, designed to streamline the creation of consistent characters using Mid Journey and Chat GPT Plus. The process begins with a basic character idea, which is then enhanced with additional details to generate the first Mid Journey command. The character, Hannah, an elf princess with specific attributes, is used as an example. The video demonstrates how to use the GPT to create a prompt, which is then pasted into Mid Journey to generate a grid of character images. These images are used as references for Mid Journey to maintain consistency across different scenes. The video also covers how to upscale the images for higher resolution and how to use these references for future character generation.
🎨 Customizing Character Images with Mid Journey Features
The second paragraph delves into the customization options available within Mid Journey for character images. It explains how the generated images, while consistent, may not always match the character references (CFS) but will maintain a certain level of similarity. The video shows how to use Mid Journey's features such as pan, zoom, chain, aspect ratio, and VAR region to alter the composition without losing the character's defining traits. It also discusses the creative freedom regained by starting with close-up portraits and then zooming out to create the desired scene. The process is illustrated with an example of transforming an image of Hannah, the elf princess, into a more expansive scene while keeping her facial features consistent.
📚 Organizing and Reusing Character References
The final paragraph focuses on the organizational capabilities of the Mid Journey platform, particularly the ease with which character references can be saved, retrieved, and reused. It highlights the convenience of not needing to save image links, as the platform allows users to go back to any generated image and use it as a prompt. The video also mentions the ability to organize different characters into folders for future reference and creation. It encourages viewers to watch another video for a detailed walkthrough of the Mid Journey UI and its features, promising a comprehensive guide in under 15 minutes.
