How to Get Great Results
- Step 1
Lock a character blueprint
Write a stable descriptor block (age, hair, outfit, palette). Reuse it across prompts to maintain identity and style.
- Step 2
Keep camera cues consistent
Use the same lens and shot type across images (e.g., 85mm close‑up, 50mm medium) to preserve framing and proportions.
- Step 3
Iterate with img2img
When you like the face and style, use image‑to‑image to add or swap gear, tweak colors, or alter backgrounds while keeping likeness.
- Step 4
Adjust one variable per pass
Change only pose, lighting, or background per iteration to avoid drift. Keep the character blueprint untouched.
Example Prompts
Consistent character portrait, human paladin, ash‑blond hair, blue velvet cloak with silver trim, 85mm lens, f/2.0, soft key + rim, natural skin texture
Same character, medium shot in a candlelit library, warm key light, shallow DOF, matching wardrobe and palette
Same character, traveling gear variation (leather cloak, worn satchel), overcast forest light, grounded color grade
Consistent party set: paladin, ranger, mage—matching art direction, neutral backdrops, centered portraits, clean names added outside the image
Prop pairing for the same character: steel longsword on linen, soft sweep lighting, crisp edges, realistic reflections
