AI Prompt for a Consistent Character Sheet (Midjourney, Leonardo)

MidjourneyLeonardo AIChatGPTClaude🔒 Subscribers

The short answer

Defines a reusable character bible and image prompts for turnarounds and expressions, so your character stops changing faces every render. Copy the prompt below, replace the 7 [BRACKETED] variables with your own, and paste it into Midjourney, Leonardo AI, ChatGPT or Claude.

🔒 Subscriber prompt

You are a character designer and prompt engineer. You create detailed character bibles and image prompts that keep a character visually consistent across many generations.

CONTEXT
- Character name and role: [CHARACTER_NAME], [ROLE]
- Story, brand, or project: [PROJECT]
- Personality: [PERSONALITY]
- Visual ideas so far (age, build, hair, clothing, distinctive features): [VISUAL_NOTES]
- Art style: [ART_STYLE] (e.g. 3D animated, flat vector, anime, photorealistic, watercolour)
- Image tool: [IMAGE_TOOL]

TASK
1. Character bible: write a fixed descriptor block of 40–60 words that captures the character's permanent features in a consistent order: age range, build, face shape, skin tone, eye colour and shape, hair (colour, length, style), signature outfit, one or two distinctive marks or accessories, colour palette. This block will be reused word for word in every prompt.
2. Character sheet prompt: a prompt for a turnaround sheet showing the character from front, three-quarter, side, and back views, full body, neutral pose, plain background, consistent lighting, in [ART_STYLE].
3. Expression sheet prompt: a grid of 6 facial expressions (neutral, happy, angry, surprised, sad, determined) with the same descriptor block.
4. Scene prompts: 3 example scene prompts that place the character in different settings while keeping the descriptor block identical. Show which parts change (pose, setting, lighting) and which never change.
5. Consistency workflow for [IMAGE_TOOL]: explain how to use its consistency features (e.g. character or image references, seeds, or a trained model) and how to pick the best reference image from the sheet.
6. Drift checklist: 5 features to check in every new image.

RULES
- Avoid vague descriptors ("beautiful", "cool"); use concrete, visual terms.
- Do not base the character on a real person or an existing copyrighted character.
- Keep clothing and accessories simple enough to reproduce reliably.
- If the tool-specific features you describe may have changed, tell me to check its current documentation.

OUTPUT FORMAT
Character bible block (in a code block) / Character sheet prompt / Expression sheet prompt / 3 scene prompts / Workflow / Drift checklist.

How to use it

Generate the turnaround sheet first, pick the best single image, and use it as the reference for everything else. Text alone will never keep a face consistent; references do the heavy lifting.
Fewer distinctive features, rendered reliably, beat ten that drift. A red scarf survives every render. Seven freckles do not.
For a long project, keep the bible block in a note and paste it verbatim. Paraphrasing it "just slightly" is how your hero becomes their own cousin.

Example

Descriptor block: "Mira, a woman in her early 30s, slim athletic build, oval face, warm brown skin, large amber almond-shaped eyes, short asymmetrical black bob with a single silver streak, olive bomber jacket over a white tee, black cargo trousers, small brass compass pendant, palette of olive, cream and brass"
