How to Get Great Results

  1. Step 1

    Lock a character blueprint

    Write a stable descriptor block (age, hair, outfit, palette). Reuse it across prompts to maintain identity and style.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. Step 4

    Adjust one variable per pass

    Change only pose, lighting, or background per iteration to avoid drift. Keep the character blueprint untouched.
