Tips for Best Results
- 💡The more specific you are about clothing details and materials, the more consistent the character will look across generations
- 💡Request a character sheet (front/side/back) first — this establishes the 'canonical' look before generating action poses
- 💡Use seed numbers in Midjourney to keep facial features consistent across different pose variations
