Creating Consistent Characters in Midjourney

Creating Facial Expressions — Placing your character in a setting — Having your character take an action

UPDATE: Version 5 of Midjourney has changed things considerably and I will be updating this method as soon as I can for Version 5.

I have been experimenting with creating consistent characters in Midjourney and have developed some generalizable methods which:

• Allow one to recreate a consistent character from one prompt to another.
• Allow one to change facial expressions on a consistent character.
• Allow one to place your character in a setting and even using a different aspect ratio.
• Allow one to have your character take an action, even using a different aspect ratio.

This will generate 4 images:
