AI Character Prompts

Here are the exact prompts I use for character consistency and complex movement.

One of the biggest challenges in AI art is moving a consistent character from a static portrait into a dynamic, complex scene.

Today, I’m sharing the exact prompt data I use to achieve this.

Below, you will find the prompt stack I use to generate a perfect 5-angle reference sheet (essential for training or consistency), followed by the advanced prompts I use for complex, dynamic poses.

Feel free to copy, paste, and adapt these for your own characters.

Part 1: The Reference Sheet (5 Angles)

To get a consistent look, I always start by generating a clean dataset on a white background. This helps the AI understand the facial structure without lighting or background interference.

Here are the 5 prompts I use to map out the character:.

1. Front Facing (Neutral)

A high-quality studio portrait of the same person, facing directly toward the camera. Neutral expression, head straight, eyes looking forward. Clean white background, soft even studio lighting, sharp focus, realistic skin texture, professional portrait photography.

2. Slight Left Turn

A high-quality studio portrait of the same person, head turned slightly to the left about 20 degrees. Eyes still visible, natural relaxed expression. Clean white background, soft studio lighting, realistic facial details, professional portrait look.

3. Full Left Profile

A high-quality studio portrait of the same person in a full left side profile. Nose and jawline clearly defined, eyes looking forward in profile. Clean white background, balanced studio lighting, realistic skin texture, crisp professional photography.

4. Slight Right Turn

A high-quality studio portrait of the same person, head turned slightly to the right about 20 degrees. Calm expression, eyes visible. Clean white background, soft even lighting, photorealistic detail, studio portrait style.

5. Full Right Profile

A high-quality studio portrait of the same person in a full right side profile. Clear facial structure and silhouette. Clean white background, controlled studio lighting, realistic texture, professional portrait photography.

Part 2: Advanced Complex Poses

Once the character is established, I use these specific prompts to push the model into more difficult, dynamic positions. These are designed to test the flexibility of the character while maintaining realism.
