How to Create a New Character for Training
If you’re starting with a brand-new character and want to ensure consistency, Dzine AI’s Character Sheet feature is the perfect tool. Start by logging into your account at dzine.ai, and from your dashboard, create a new project. Then, select character from the toolbar to begin. With this feature, getting a consistent character setup is quick and easy!
Step 1: Choose a Style and Describe Your Character
- Open the Character Sheet feature
- Select your preferred style, such as fantasy, sci-fi, or cartoon
- Use text prompts to describe your character’s appearance and personality, including hairstyle, clothing, and facial expressions
- To ensure multi-angle character generation, it’s recommended to use the 16:9 aspect ratio by default
Step 2: Generate and Crop Character Images
- Click Generate and wait for your character images to be created
- Once generated, click Place on Canvas to add the images to the editor
- Use the Crop Tool in the Layer Toolbar to trim the images into three different character views (e.g., front, side, and back)
- Download these images to your local device for later use
Step 3: Train Your Character
- Go to the Consistent Character feature
- Click Add New Character
By following these steps, you’ll have a well-prepared character, ready for consistency training to ensure they maintain a cohesive look across different scenes.
From there, click Add New Character and upload between 1 to 30 images of your character. After a brief training period, Dzine AI will process the images, allowing you to generate a consistent character that maintains their unique features across various scenes and settings.

Generating Consistent Character AI Image
Once you’ve selected and trained your character, you’re ready to bring them to life through prompts. In the prompt box, simply describe the scene or setting you want for your character, and Dzine AI will generate an image based on your input. To help you get the best results, here are four tips for crafting effective prompts that enhance image quality and consistency.
Tip 1: Keep Character Description
Each character has a default description that defines their look. Keeping this description helps the character stay recognizable across images. You can add action and scene details to show them in different situations.
The default description should not be entirely removed, as that may cause the character’s appearance to be lost.
If you accidentally remove the default description, click the Restore button to get it back.
Bad Prompt: He is running.
Good Prompt: Lip, Chubby, curly-haired kid, green cap, yellow hoodie, blue shorts, and yellow kicks. He is running.
You can rewrite the default description. As long as you describe the character’s attributes, you can preserve the character’s features.
Good Prompt: The adorable chubby child with curly hair is wearing a stylish green cap, a cheerful yellow hoodie, comfy blue shorts, and bright yellow sneakers. He is running.
Tip 2: Adjust Outfits to Match Actions and Scenes
Sometimes, the default outfit may not suit the scene or action. Changing the outfit can make the character look more natural in the new situation.
Modify the character’s clothing if it doesn’t match the action. For example, if the character is swimming, it’s better to describe them in swimwear.
Bad Prompt: Lip, Chubby, curly-haired kid, green cap, yellow hoodie, blue shorts, and yellow kicks. He is swimming in the water.
Good Prompt: Lip, Chubby, curly-haired kid, yellow swimsuit. He is swimming in the water.
Tip 3: Remove Unnecessary Details
Unnecessary details can distract the AI from focusing on the main action. Only include important details to keep the character’s actions clear.
Remove small details that don’t matter for the action. For example, if the character is sitting down to eat, mentioning ”shoes” might confuse the AI and result in a standing pose.
Bad Prompt: Lip, Chubby, curly-haired kid, green cap, yellow hoodie, blue shorts, and yellow kicks. Eating at the dining table.
Good Prompt: Lip, Chubby, curly-haired kid, green cap, yellow hoodie, blue shorts, eating at the dining table.
Tip 4: Add Specific Details for Precision
Adding more details, like the character’s location, body posture, and facial expression, can help the AI match your vision more closely.
Bad Prompt: Lip, Chubby, curly-haired kid, green cap, yellow hoodie, blue shorts, and yellow kicks. He is going for a layup.
Good Prompt: From a side view, a chubby, curly-haired kid in a green cap, yellow hoodie, blue shorts, and yellow sneakers flies toward the hoop, gripping the basketball with one hand held high. His body leans forward in mid-air, legs bent as he powers toward the red rim. His focused gaze is set on the basket, capturing the intensity of the moment. The bright outdoor court and a few cheering onlookers in the background add to the scene’s excitement.
Summary
To create consistent character images:
1. Keep the character’s description for a familiar look.
2. Adjust outfits to match new actions or settings.
3. Remove unnecessary details to emphasize the main action.
4. Add specific details to achieve a more accurate scene.
The more detailed and clear your description, the better the AI can match your vision. Happy creating!
