Keep Character Consistent in AI Illustrations
Consistency is a system, not luck. Use repeatable constraints in every scene prompt.
Consistency checklist
- Reuse one canonical character description.
- Keep one age range and proportion style.
- Define fixed palette for clothes and hair.
- Document approved and rejected outputs.
When to regenerate vs edit
Regenerate when core anatomy drifts. Edit when only small details differ. This saves time and protects continuity across the full page sequence.
How MyStoryBot supports iteration
MyStoryBot helps you refine scenes quickly and keep track of story-level continuity, so character identity remains stable across your book.
Lock vs vary framework
- Lock: face shape, age cues, eye color, core outfit silhouette.
- Vary: pose, camera angle, facial expression, scene lighting.
- Optional variation: weather outfit layer or prop changes tied to plot.
Fast QA loop per page
Compare every new illustration against the prior approved page. If two or more anchor traits drift, pause and re-anchor before continuing the sequence.
