วิธีสร้างตัวละครที่สอดคล้องกันในระหว่างการเดินทาง
/ Image AI / โดย Danielle Sastrawan / 29 ธันวาคม 2023

หากคุณอยู่ที่นี่ คุณคงได้เห็นตัวอย่างของความสามารถอันน่าทึ่งของ Midjourney ใน

การเรนเดอร์ตัวละครในสไตล์ใดๆ ก็ตามที่คุณจินตนาการได้อย่างไม่ต้องสงสัย คุณ
อาจสร้างของคุณเองแล้ว หากคุณมีโอกาสทดลองขับ Midjourney คุณจะรู้ได้อย่าง
รวดเร็วว่า แม้จะมีทักษะการเตือนที่ดีที่สุด แต่ก็สร้างตัวละครที่ไม่สอดคล้องกันแบบสุ่ม
โดยการออกแบบ

หากคุณกำลังมองหาภาพที่เกิดขึ้นเพียงครั้งเดียว คุณสามารถสร้างผลลัพธ์ที่น่าทึ่งได้
อย่างง่ายดาย แต่หากคุณกำลังมองหาที่จะสร้างหรือใช้ตัวละครที่คุณสร้างขึ้น นั่น
สามารถ "นำมาใช้ใหม่ได้" ในสถานการณ์ต่างๆ คุณอาจทราบแล้วว่า Midjourney ไม่
เคยได้รับการพัฒนาเพื่อสร้างตัวละครที่สอดคล้องกัน

คุณสามารถลองใช้ข้อความแจ้งเดียวกันได้ร้อยครั้ง และมันจะให้ผลตอบแทนที่แตก
ต่างกัน 100 ภาพพร้อมรูปภาพ 4 ภาพที่แตกต่างกันในแต่ละครั้ง ซึ่งแต่ละภาพจะไม่
เหมือนกัน สิ่งนี้จะกลายเป็ นปั ญหาหากคุณต้องการสร้างตัวละครสำหรับหนังสือการ์ตูน
เรื่องราวของเด็กวิดีโอเกม นิยายภาพ หรือแคมเปญโฆษณาที่คุณต้องการให้ตัวละครมี
ความสม่ำเสมอตลอด

ในบทความนี้ เราจะแสดงวิธีสร้างตัวละครที่สอดคล้องกันใน Midjourney ไม่ใช่งานที่

ง่ายที่สุด และหากคุณไม่ได้ถูกจับคู่กับ Midjourney โปรดดูคำแนะนำในการสร้างตัว
ละครที่สอดคล้องกันในสถานการณ์
เราจะแบ่งพวกมันออกเป็ น 3 กลุ่ม ได้แก่ ภาพเสมือนจริง/ภาพประกอบสมจริง อะนิเมะ/
การ์ตูน/หนังสือนิทาน และตัวละครสไตล์พิกซาร์ 3 มิติ คุณจะพบว่าเทคนิคต่างๆ
ทำงานได้ดีกว่ากับสไตล์ที่แตกต่างกัน และเราจะแสดงให้คุณเห็นว่าเทคนิคใดใช้ได้ผล
ดีที่สุดกับทั้งสามสไตล์

การสร้างตัวละครที่สมจริงสม่ำเสมอในช่วงกลางการเดินทาง
สมมติว่าคุณได้ตั้งค่าบัญชีบน Discord และสมัครใช้งาน Midjourneyก็ถึงเวลาเข้าสู่
ระบบแล้ว

เราจะอธิบายสองวิธีในการสร้างตัวละครที่สอดคล้องกันใน Midjourney: วิธี "Seed"

และวิธี "Vary Region" วิธี "Vary Region" นั้นง่ายกว่า แต่ควรเรียนรู้วิธี Seed ก่อน เพื่อ
ทำความเข้าใจว่าทุกอย่างทำงานอย่างไร ก่อนที่จะเปลี่ยนไปใช้วิธี Vary Region

เริ่มจากวิธี Seed กันก่อน

Unlike when you are creating a one-off character for a specific purpose, you
should keep your prompts short. The purpose of the initial prompt is to get a
character looking like you want it, without worrying about what it’s doing or
how it’s feeling, or any sort of setting/background. Your initial character is
what you are going to be basing your future renderings on of the same
character.
 กำลังเล่น

How To …

First, start with the name you’ve given your character.

Then add the description of what you want your character to look like. You can
add a description of what they’re wearing if it’s important to the character’s
identity, like for example, if they are wearing glasses, a uniform or will wear
something that will be a constant throughout that will become their
‘trademark’.

Then you can add other prompts to specify things like the version of
Midjourney you want to use, as well as qualitative, lighting or photographic
elements to your prompt. See this article for a detailed guide on How To
Create Photorealistic Images With Midjourney.

Side Note: Choosing your version of Midjourney will impact your results. If you
are going for ultra-photorealistic characters, you may want to give version 5.x (–
v 5) a go to see how the different versions compare with each other. Version 4
will give you a realistic illustrative style, while version 5 will likely produce what
looks more like an actual photograph of a real person. The version that’s right
for your character really depends on what you’re looking for.
Your initial prompt should look something like this:

Prompt:

“Erin Byrne, photo of a beautiful fierce warrior woman with braided red hair,
green eyes, and freckles, standing on a platform in a castle, cinematic lighting –
ar 2:3“
Once you’ve written your prompt, hit “enter” and wait for Midjourney to render
your images. You may not get the character you wanted the first time around.
If it was not even close, you can always adjust your prompts and try again.

If there is an image that is kind of leaning in the right direction, you can opt to
choose that image and get Midjourney render four more variations loosely
based on that image using the V1 – V4 buttons, and it should result in images
that are closer to what you’re looking for.

In this case, I liked the third image, so I created variations based on image 3.
In the event that there’s an image that’s almost exactly what you were looking
for, but you just need to make a few tweaks to your prompt, you can choose
the ‘remix’ setting. This will give you 4 more variations of a particular image,
and will also allow you to edit the prompt.

Step #2: Upscale Image And Get the Seed Number

Once you get an image of your character from Midjourney that you are
satisfied with, upscale it by using the U1, U2, U3 or U4 button that corresponds
with your chosen image. In this case, I chose image 2.
When you get the upscaled version of your image, click on it and select the
“open in browser” link.

Right click and copy the image address. Now remember at the beginning we
said – first open a word or notepad document? – this is where you’re going to
paste that image link, because you’re going to need it later.

Now you are going to find the seed number of your image. The seed number is
a reference number to the image that Midjourney will use to create other
images based on that original image, so this is an important step.

To get the seed number of the image, find the upscaled image on the
Midjourney feed. Click on “add reaction” which is in the little smiley face
emoticon with the “+” on it. You’ll find this icon if you scroll up and hover your
mouse at the top edge of your image.
This will open up a box. Click on the envelope (you might need to search for
the word “envelope”). What that does is generate the same image on the feed,
only this time it shows the seed number.
Copy and paste your seed number where you pasted the image link.

Step #3: Create a second image consistent with your first character

To create an image of the same character doing something different, first

paste in the image link into the prompt box that you got from the image you
upscaled.
Then, paste in the exact same prompt you used to create the initial character.
Do not change the wording of the core prompt.

You can add in whatever extra actions or changes in clothing, scenery, or

positioning, then add the seed number(–seed 1234), where ‘1234’ is the seed
number you’d copied from your original character image, at the end of the
prompt.
Your new prompt should look something like this:
[image link] Erin Byrne, photo of a beautiful fierce warrior woman holding a
sword, with braided red hair, green eyes, and freckles, standing on a platform,
cinematic lighting –ar 2:3 –seed [1234]

The text that’s bolded above is your core prompt. For every subsequent image
you make in Midjourney of the same character, you will use:

the original image link (at the beginning, followed by…)

the core prompt (unchanged, and…)

the seed number of the original image at the end of your prompt.
You can change all of the other stuff in between to whatever you want your
character to be doing or to adjust lighting or scenery or clothing, etc.

Here’s yet another set of images in the series, with the prompt:

[image link] Erin Byrne, photo of a beautiful fierce warrior woman sitting by a
campfire in a long dress, with braided red hair, green eyes, and freckles,
cinematic lighting –ar 2:3 –seed [1234]
It’s a good idea to copy/paste that prompt where you put your image link and
seed number and save it because you are going to be using that same prompt
every time you want to create a new image of your character.

I also just want to note that not every rendering will look exactly like your
character, but you should get at least one or two of the four that look pretty
similar.

Every time you get another good likeness of your character, save the image
link, like you did with the first one. And the next time you create the character,
add another image link.

This way Midjourney has a bunch of image references of your character in

different positions and poses, doing different things that look similar.

···
This all helps to get even more consistency each time you generate a new
image of your character.

Consistent Photorealistic Characters in Midjourney: Vary

Region Method
Midjourney added a new feature in August 2023 called “Vary Region” that is a
real game-changer. It allows you to vary just a section of an image, while
keeping the rest of the image intact. You can edit your prompt or use another
image as a reference image for the region.

This makes creating consistent characters much easier than the Seed method
described above.

···
I wanted to create an image of Erin Byrne from the Seed guide above fighting
with an Orc creature. I created the image below:
 a beautiful fierce warrior woman, battling an ogre with a sword, medium distance, full body, movie scene,

cinematic lighting –ar 2:3

Cool image, but clearly not the same Erin Byrne from the Seed section.

To remedy that, I upscaled the image, and clicked on the Vary Region option.
This opens a new window in discord, which allows you to select the area of
the image to edit.

You can use a box selection or the lasso tool. I used the lasso tool to select
her face and hair, like so:

I included a link to one of the previous Erin Byrne images used above, and left
the rest of the prompt the same. The resulting image is here:
 [image link] a beautiful fierce warrior woman, battling an ogre with a sword, medium distance, full body, movie

scene, cinematic lighting –ar 2:3

Not bad, and much easier than the whole Seed thing! Using multiple images or
specifying poses can help, but this method is quite powerful on its own.

Creating Consistent Anime, Story Book & Comic

Characters in Midjourney
You can actually try the method above for more illustrative styles of
characters, but there’s a much easier and, some would argue, more accurate
way to create a character and have it consistent from different angles and in
different poses, which unfortunately does not work as well in Midjourney, for
the more realistic characters.

When you are working with an illustrative style of character, like comic book,
children’s story or anime characters that are a flatter, 2-dimensional style, you
can create a character sheet.

Step #1: Create a Character Sheet

Creating a character sheet is a great way to show how your character looks
from different angles in the same image. Don’t forget to give your character a
name!

···
Prompt:

Kiko Sushi, character design sheet, cute, young japanese girl in a red traditional
Kimono, japanese woodcut, flat color, full body, multiple poses and expressions,
character concept, –no outline –upbeta
Side Notes:

···
1. The Beta Upscaler is ideal for simple, flat illustrations. When you use the –
upbeta parameter, instead of the U1 U2 U3 U4 upscale buttons upscaling
the image to the default of 1024px X 1024px, your image becomes 2048px
x 2048px.
2. You can choose which version of Midjourney to use. v5.x is typically better
for realistic images, but v4 tends to be better for comic book, cartoon and
children’s book characters. But if you are creating an anime character, try –
niji at the end of your prompt. The niji model is specifically designed for
anime style art renderings and might garner you even better results.
3. Copy/paste your prompt into a word or notepad document because you’re
going to use it later.

Midjourney will render you 4 images with 5-6 characters per image. You’re
going to upscale them, cut them out and separate each individual image. In
my case, I used the top left set of images.

Then you’re going to use the individual images as references to get even more
consistent images of your character.

···
Step #2: Upscale, Cut Out Your Characters & Paste Them Back Into
Midjourney

Click on the upscale button that corresponds with the image you like. Click on
the upscaled version of the image.

You are going to require an image editing program, like Photoshop for this
next part…

Right click and copy the image of your character sheet and paste it into an
image editing program. Here, you’re going to want to get rid of any unrelated
extraneous things, like random stuff in the background or around your
character that doesn’t belong.

You may also find that not all of the renderings are fantastic. Get rid of the
ones that you don’t like.
 ···

For the remaining characters in your character sheet, you are going to select
them individually, one at a time. Once you have one selected, just copy the
selection and paste it into the Midjourney dialogue box at the bottom.

Do not type ‘/imagine’ to create a prompt box when you are pasting them back
in. Just paste the image directly into the text message box, or click the + icon
and add your images.
You can insert them all in one shot, or upload individual images per line.

···
Step #3: Save The Image URLs to Notepad

Now you have all of the different variations of your character uploaded back
into Midjourney, you’re going to click on the first image and then right click to
select ‘copy link’.

Paste the image url into your word or notepad document. Do this for each of
the images you’ve uploaded.

Step #4: Create A New Prompt For A New Character Action

In Midjourney, type in “/imagine” and hit the spacebar to pull up the prompt
window. Paste all of the image links into the prompt window with a space
between each link. Then copy and paste your initial prompt. From now on, your
future prompts will be consistently tied to the aesthetic of this character!

Remove any mention of “character (reference/design/concept) sheet” from

the original prompts. And where you have “multiple poses and expressions,”
replace that with another action you want your character to do, like running or
dancing or waving. Your new prompt should look something like this:

“[image link 1] [image link 2] [image link 3] [image link 4] [image link 5] [image
link 6] Kiko Sushi, cute, young japanese girl in a red traditional Kimono, bowing,
japanese woodcut, flat color, full body –no outline –upbeta”

Where it says [image link], you just need to paste in the image links without the
brackets and leave a space between each of the links.

···
Hit ‘enter’ on your keyboard and Midjourney will render 4 more images of your
character doing what you specified. I used bowing in my example.
Repeat this process for whatever action you want to see your character
perform.

In the example above, it seems like my Kiko bowing is a little older than the
original. You may need to run a couple of iterations to find the right image.

Here’s another version, with Kiko waving, using the same process.
Creating 3-D Pixar Style Characters in Midjourney
Okay so the good news about 3-D Pixar style characters is that you can use
either of the methods above to generate consistent characters.

While the –seed method seems to work best for photorealistic images and
realistic illustrations, and character sheets are more suited to 2-D, flat
illustrations, both methods seem to work equally well with 3-D Pixar style
characters!
All you have to do is create a 3-D Pixar style character prompt, like: “Tezza,
character design sheet, an electric pangolin, Pixar style illustration, multiple
poses and expressions, character concept, white background, –no outline –
upbeta –v 4” and follow the instructions above.

Pick which set you like the best, cut them out individually, and paste them
back into the discord chat. From there, you can iterate more expressions and
actions.
 ···

Take Away
If you are looking to create consistent characters, the “–seed method” works
best for photorealistic and realistic illustrated characters, and character
sheets work best for 2-D, flat illustrated characters. Both methods can work
with 3-D Pixar style characters.
 ···

Midjourney was never meant to create consistent characters, which is why it

requires so many steps. But with a little know-how and some prompting
finesse, you can manage to not only create a character in any style, but also
make multiple generations of the same character doing different things in
different situations that are relatively consistent.

to Put It All Together
/ Image AI / By Danielle Sastrawan / November 17, 2023

Are you looking to write a children’s book but lack the illustration skills to pull
it all together? Or maybe you’ve logged onto ChatGPT to create a custom
children’s book story, and now want to illustrate it using AI art.

The good news is that Midjourney is here and can help bring your story book
characters to life with no artistic abilities needed.

In this article, we are going to show you how to use Midjourney to create the
visuals for your children’s story book, and give you loads of Midjourney
prompts for children’s books.

Before we start, you’re going to need a couple of things…

1. A Discord account so you can use Midjourney. If you haven’t already
signed up, read our article: The Absolute Beginner’s Step-By-Step Guide to
Signing up for Midjourney.

2. A photo editing program, like Adobe Photoshop or even MS Paint. We’ll

explain how Midjourney and your photo editing program will come together to
create your end result.

How Many Pages Should A Children’s Book Be And How

Many Images Will I Need?
A typical children’s book is 32 pages. This is because 32 pages can all be
printed on a single sheet of paper, making it more cost-effective when getting
printed.

You don’t have to stick to that number, of course. But if you are going to do
more or less, the number of pages in your book should be a multiple of 8, as in
16, 24, or 40, 48, if you are planning to get the book printed.

On the other hand, if you are looking to publish it as an e-book only, then the
number of pages doesn’t really matter.

As to how many images you’re going to need, the age of the children you are
aiming your book at will be the determining factor. For really young children,
the more images the better! For them, you may decide that you have an image
on every page and just one or two sentences that accompany the image.

So if you have a 32-page book, for example, you’re going to need 32 images.

If you’re targeting slightly older children, you may decide to do alternating

pages of text and images on every other page. In this case, you would require
16 images for a 32-page book.

Does Your Children’s Story Have a Main Character?

Most stories have a main character that will need to be the focus of multiple
images throughout the book, but not all stories are this way. For example, the
classic Oliver Jeffers book Here We Are doesn’t have a main character, but it
does have a consistent art style.

If your story is structured like this, you’ll be able to create your images more
easily, sticking only to art style and not having to worry about differences in
the characters.

Draft A Storyboard
If you’ve used Midjourney before, you’ll know it takes a little ‘finagling’ to get
the image you want. If you’re a Midjourney newbie, you will understand once
you start to experiment and try to make your own characters.

It often takes multiple re-renders of an image to get the main character you
want. Then you need to create that character in different scenes. You’ll want to
make sure you know exactly what you want that scene to be, rather than
creating a character performing random actions and try to fit them in
somewhere, or have to go back because you realize you don’t have the image
you want for a particular page.

Creating a storyboard will save you a lot of time because you won’t waste time
creating images you are not going to use if you have your storyboard laid out
and know what images you need.

Make a story board that consists of one ‘frame’ per page. You can opt to get a
poster sized sheet of paper and just draw lines in a grid pattern to create
boxes.

You can do the same with letter or legal sized paper, but you’ll need more
sheets.

Within each box write the text and/or the description of the image that you
want for every page.

Now that you’ve laid out your story and know what images you’ll need, then it’s
time to start creating!

Prompts For Creating Characters in Midjourney

There’s a big difference between creating a character in Midjourney for a one-
off use and creating a character that needs to be consistent in different
scenarios.
If you are planning on creating a character (or characters) that are “reusable”
in different situations, you will soon find out that Midjourney was never
developed to create consistent characters. You can put in the same prompt
multiple times, and for each return, you’ll get 4 more images that look different
from all of the others.

That’s not going to help you if you are trying to create an illustrated story book
and you want the same character on each page!

If you haven’t already, I would highly l suggest reading: How to create

consistent characters in Midjourney. I will go over some of the techniques
here as well, but the article includes tips for different character styles, as
opposed to just the simple children’s book illustrations we will be going over in
this article.

First things first, you need to create your character.

The easiest way to go about it is to break it down into chunks that Midjourney
will use as a guide to generate your image.

Give your Character a Name – this is going to come in handy later to give
Midjourney an additional reference when you start making different images
of your character(s) that you will use throughout your book.
Describe Their Appearance – you don’t really have to go into too much
detail here. Just focus on the things that you are going to want to be the
same in every image of the same character, like the hair color, gender, eye
color – whatever you think is important to the character.

Be sure to include things that you want consistent throughout, like glasses, or
a hair bow. The clothes will depend on whether or not it’s central to the
character. You can add a description of what they’re wearing if it’s something
they will be wearing that will be a constant throughout and will become their
‘trademark’, like yellow rubber boots, a school uniform or a hat, for example.
 Assign an Art Style and/or Medium – Even though Midjourney can render
images in another artist’s style, try to avoid this and create something that is
uniquely your own.

Because this AI technology is still so new, there are no laws against using an
AI created image “in the style of” a particular artist, but that may change and
new legislation as to copyright may catch up to you in the future.

That’s also over and above the fact that it’s a little unfair to the artist.

You can assign an art medium to your character if you had something specific
in mind. This is not necessary. You can just try running your prompt without
one and see what comes out.

Midjourney Prompts for Children’s Books

Here are a few style and medium prompts for inspiration that you can try for
creating characters for children’s books that you can add to your prompt:

children’s story book illustration

simple illustration
detailed illustration
–no outline
3-D
flat illustration
flat color
Watercolor
Block illustration
Charcoal illustration
Colored pencil illustration
Ink illustration
Woodcut illustration
Pencil Illustration
Collage Illustration
 Naïve art
Bold colors
Pastel colors
— Niji (if you want anime-style characters)

The Midjourney docs are a wealth of information on adding clever parameters

to your artworks.

Create a Character Style Sheet – Instead of starting with just one image of
your character, you’re already ahead of the game because a character sheet
will produce multiple versions of your character in one image from different
angles. You are going to use these different versions of your character later
to create more images of the same character in the specific poses and
scenarios you need for your story.

Add in the following to your prompt:

“full body, multiple poses and expressions, character style sheet”

You can also try ‘character reference sheet’ or ‘character design sheet,’ instead
of character style sheet and see which one works best for you.

Assign the Midjourney version – Depending on the character you are

creating, different versions of Midjourney may be better for the style of
character you want to create.

While the default version of Midjourney is now version 5, version 4 tends to be

better at making illustrated characters, while version 5 tends to be better at
making more photo realistic images.

Once you’ve created your prompt, you can either just leave it (you don’t have to
specify version 5 because it’s already the default), but if you want to see how
the same character prompt results in version 4, add –v 4 to the end of your
prompt.
If you are creating children’s book for older kids with more anime styled
characters, you may want to try the niji version. The niji model is a
collaboration between Midjourney and Spellbrush specifically developed to
produce anime and illustrative styles and has a much more vast knowledge of
anime, anime styles, and anime aesthetics.

Check out the article Creating Characters in Midjourney for specific anime-
style prompts for characters.

So now combine all of the above and you should have a character sheet
prompt that looks something like this:

Koming, character design sheet, cute, young balinese girl in a kebaya and
sarong, whimsical children’s book illustration, flat color, full body, multiple
poses and expressions, character concept, –no outline –upbeta
Note: The Beta upscaler is ideal for simple, flat illustrations. When you use the
–upbeta parameter, instead of the U1 U2 U3 U4 upscale buttons upscaling the
image to the default of 1024px X 1024px, your image becomes 2048px x
2048px.

Prompts For Creating Consistent Characters in Midjourney

Once you have a character style sheet with a character you are happy with (I
chose the set on the top left), you are going to reproduce that character for the
different pages of your book.
Remember that storyboard we talked about at the beginning? You’ve probably
now had a chance to see, if this is your first time creating a character, how it
takes a few tries to get what you’re looking for. You don’t want to be wasting
time creating just random images of your character you’re not going to use.

However before you can start creating your book images, to ensure you get
your character looking the same throughout, there are a few things you’re
going to have to do first:

Step #1: Upscale the character style sheet

If you used “–upbeta” as part of your prompt, your image will be upscaled to
2048px x 2048px when you click the U (upscale) button under the image.
Choose the number (U1-U4) that corresponds to the image you want to
upscale.

Step #2: Copy the character style sheet.

Copy the character style sheet by clicking on it in the feed and selecting the
‘open in browser’ link and right clicking to select copy. Then paste it into a
photo editing program, like Photoshop.

Step #3: Cut out the characters, paste them back into the Midjourney
feed and save them

When you have your stylesheet in your photo editing program, erase all of the
extraneous things in the background. You may also have a character or two
that maybe don’t look as much like the others, so you can delete those as well.

For the remaining characters you’re going to select them one at a time and
paste them back into the Midjourney chatbox – do not type “/imagine” to pull
up the prompt box! Just Ctrl+v into the chat box at the bottom and press the
spacebar.

Your image will come up on the feed.

You don’t have to worry if it’s an irregularly shaped selection because
Midjourney will automatically adjust any image you paste in, onto a square
background.

Select, copy and paste each image individually. Once you have all of the
separate images of your character uploaded on the Midjourney feed, click on
the first image and then right click to select ‘copy image address.’ Paste the
image url into a word or notepad document.

Do this for each of the images you’ve uploaded.

Step # 4: Start creating images for your book!

In Midjourney, type in “/imagine” and hit the spacebar to pull up the prompt
window. You’re going to paste all of the image links you just saved of the
images you cut out, into the prompt window with a space between each link.
Then copy and paste your initial prompt you used to create your character
style sheet.

Don’t change the core wording of your character description!

Remove any mention of “character (reference/design/concept) sheet” from

the original prompt. And where you had “multiple poses and expressions,”
replace that with another action you want your character to do, like running or
dancing or waving.

Your new prompt should look something like this:

“[image link 1] [image link 2] [image link 3] [image link 4] Koming, cute, young
Balinese girl in a traditional sarong and kebaya, whimsical children’s book
illustration, full body, kneeling and praying, flat color, –no outline”

Where it says [image link], you just need to paste the image links without the
brackets and leave a space between each of the links.
Hit ‘enter’ on your keyboard and Midjourney will render 4 more images of your
character doing what you specified. I used kneeling and praying in my
example.

You may need to do a couple of iterations to get the image the way you want,
but as you can see, the character and art style portrayed is consistent in each
image.

Repeat this process for whatever other image you need of this character doing
something else.

Here’s another set of a scene with her chasing a butterfly, as an example:

Just a note, Midjourney sometimes has difficulty understanding multiple
directions, especially when you are talking about more than one subject. You
could try something like:

“[image link 1] [image link 2] [image link 3] [image link 4] Koming, cute, young
Balinese girl in a traditional sarong and kebaya, whimsical children’s book
illustration, full body, walking through her village beside her cat Putu, flat color,
–no outline”
But you’re probably not going to get the outcome you were looking for. It can
work with more simple instructions, like the character sitting at a table doing
homework, or flying a kite in the park.

For the more intricate images that have a lot of stuff going on, or more than
one character, I’ve found it’s best to think of your image in layers.

Create the layers separately, then combine them in your photo editing program
to make the final image.

When you get a good rendering of an image, not only are you going to save the
image to use in your book, you can also upload that image to Midjourney like
you did with the characters on your style sheet.

Save it and add the image link to your prompts so Midjourney has even more
reference to go on of your character, for the next image you create.

Take Away
Midjourney is a great tool that can help to illustrate your children’s book. It’s
not easy and it requires a lot of steps and a lot of patience. But once you get
over the initial hurdle of figuring out what prompts work best to create the
characters you want, you can save not only the time it takes to create a
children’s book, but also save you the money of having to hire an illustrator.
