Table of Contents
Introduction
Tired of AI-generated characters constantly changing?
Their hair is short once, and the next moment it is long; their face changes sometimes.
It can be frustrating, okay? Well, no longer!
Here, you will learn how to generate AI characters that remain absolutely consistent in different images.
The same face, the same clothes, the same personality — no more random lookswaps.
And the best of all? It’s absolutely free!
By the end of this tutorial, you’ll be able to make characters ideal for storytelling, animation, social media, or any other creative endeavor.
Let’s begin!
Create a Strong Character Profile
The first and most important step is creating a strong character profile.
If you skip this, your character won’t stay consistent. Before generating any images, we need to define our character in detail.
Open up ChatGPT or any other similar tool of your preference and type:
Give me a detailed prompt for generating an AI image of a realistic character named [put a name of your choice] with a standard pose.
Being specific with ChatGPT yields the best results.
You want to give it enough information to work with but not so much that it becomes overwhelming.
AI needs detailed instructions to generate consistent results; a vague prompt will lead to random outputs every time.
Generate Your Character
Once you have the prompt ready, copy it and head over to Google Image FX. Paste the prompt into the text box.
Before hitting ‘create’, we need to add a few key details at the end of the prompt.
Click to add specific style presets or explore additional options.
You can also manually type in styles like “high contrast,” “realistic,” “natural light,” and “highly detailed.”
These extra specifications ensure your character looks professional and stays consistent across multiple images.
Without them, the AI might generate something too generic or inconsistent.
Now go ahead and hit ‘create’. There you have it! Your charcter is generated, and you can see we’ve got images of the same character already looking great.
Locking the Seed Number
To ensure your character remains exactly the same in every future image, we need to take one more critical step.
Look closely at the interface; there’s a little lock button. Click it.
This locks the seed number, which is the secret to ensuring that every future image keeps the exact same facial features.
Without this, your next image might look completely different — even if the description stays the same.
Let’s test it with the seed number locked. Generate another image of your character, and there it is!
Its face, features — everything remains the same. This small step is what most people miss, and it’s why so many struggle with AI character consistency.
Now that you know how to do it, you’ll never have that problem again!
Testing Character Consistency in Different Scenes
Now that we’ve locked the charcter’s seed number, it’s time to test how well this method keeps her consistent, even when we place her in different scenes. Let’s ask ChatGPT for a scene description.
Type:
Describe a scene where [your charcter] is sitting in a cafe.
Copy this scene description and paste it into Google Image FX, but do not remove the base character prompt.
We’re simply adding this scene description while keeping everything else the same. The locked seed number stays unchanged.
Now let’s hit ‘create’ and see the results.
Look at that! It’s still your character — the same face, same features, just in a completely different setting. This proves the method works!
Creating a Short Story with Your Character
Now that we have a consistent character, let’s put it into a full story.
We need a short narrative featuring your charcter, and ChatGPT can help us with that. Type:
Create a short story about [your character], a young artist discovering his true passion and purpose in the World of painting.
ChatGPT will generate a great story. Instead of trying to visualize everything at once, let’s ask ChatGPT to identify the key scenes in this story that would make great illustrations.
After getting the key moments, we’ll take the first scene description and combine it with our base character prompt.
The key is to keep the charcter’s original description intact while adding the new scene details.
Once again, paste this into Google Image FX and hit ‘create’. Look at that!
The charcter is in a different setting, but his face and identity remain the same.
Now let’s do one more scene, following the same process. The results are perfect — regardless of the scene or action.
Recap of Key Takeaways
Always start by creating a detailed character profile in ChatGPT. This sets the foundation for consistency. The more specific you are, the better your results will be.
When generating images in Google Image FX, make sure to lock the seed number. This is the most important step to ensure every future image maintains the same facial features, outfit, and overall identity.
Always keep your base character description the same across all prompts. Whether you’re adding a new scene or a new action, never change the core description of your character.
Combining this technique with storytelling unlocks endless creative possibilities. Whether you’re making digital comics, animations, or social media content, you now have full control over AI-generated characters that stay the same in every scene.
