Cross-Image Character Consistency Guide
Keep the same character across panels, outfits, and scenes using references, seeds, and locked prompt clauses.
Use references deliberately
Best practice is often two refs:
- Face lock — tight crop, neutral expression, neutral lighting.
- Outfit / silhouette — full body or three-quarter, if wardrobe must persist.
See Character reference.
Lock a “character clause” in text
Maintain a copy-paste block across prompts:
“Same person: oval face, warm skin tone, straight dark brown hair with side part, soft jawline, light freckles across nose.”
Update it only when you intentionally change the character.
Control drift with parameters
- Lower chaos for stability (Chaos and variety).
- Reuse seed when exploring one axis (Seed value).
Change one axis at a time
To keep identity while changing scene:
- Keep: face clause + refs + wardrobe summary
- Change: environment, lighting, pose within safe ranges
Series checklist
- Approve identity on a simple neutral background.
- Move to wardrobe variants with the same face ref.
- Finally open environment complexity.
