What character consistency means

Character consistency is the effort to keep recognisable identity details coherent while scenes, poses, costumes, and camera choices change. References, prompt structure, and the external service all affect the result.

Use stable identity references

Choose a clear identity source and explain its role. If face, body, and costume come from different references, keep those roles separate instead of letting every image compete as general identity.

Reduce conflicting sources

Use only the references that serve the requested result. Conflicting identity sources make it harder to review what should be preserved.

Keep camera direction distinct

Camera and composition change presentation, not identity. Keep shot size, angle, lens, and framing in their own direction so they do not obscure identity details.

Change scenes without rewriting identity

Keep identity instructions stable and change environment, action, and camera as separate layers. This makes recurring character work easier to review.

Understand the limits of control

An external image-generation service interprets references and prompt text, so structured instructions support review but do not guarantee a specific result.

Consistency checklist

  • Use a clear identity reference.
  • Separate face, body, and costume roles.
  • Remove conflicting sources.
  • Keep camera direction separate.
  • Review limits before generation.
