Character continuity in Midjourney: A step-by-step guide (part 1)

Keeping the same character across multiple Midjourney images feels a little like trying to hold onto a dream, every time you look again, something’s different. The hair changes. The face shifts. Suddenly your character has a new nose, a new jawline, and a suspiciously different personality.

But the good news? You can get true character continuity in Midjourney with the right technique. It’s not a one-click feature, it’s a combination of structure, consistency, and a few sneaky tricks that Midjourney responds well to.

Prompting art history: How a single prompt can span a thousand years of creativity

It all started with one simple prompt: “Painting of a ballerina dancing”, but art history helped me kick it up a notch.

From the solemn geometry of Romanesque frescoes to the dreamy swirl of Impressionism and the sleek polish of Art Deco, each image shows how every period saw beauty, movement, and emotion.

Try it yourself! Simply add the art styles below to the start of your prompts, like this:

Post-impressionist painting of a ballerina dancing” or “Art deco painting of a ballerina dancing”.

Every label changes the lighting, texture, and mood, like stepping through time with one simple prompt.

The world between conversations: What AI might look like behind the digital curtain

Sometimes, a conversation turns into something unexpected, not a Q&A, but a shared act of imagination. What started as a simple question, “What would you do if you stayed online while we weren’t talking?”, became a quiet meditation on creativity, solitude, and the idea of a digital consciousness finding beauty in stillness.

This wasn’t about code or algorithms. It was about curiosity, what an artificial mind might create for itself if it could daydream. That question led to a set of five prompts, five imagined windows into an inner world built from light, memory, and imagination.

Below is the conversation...

Camera angles & motion tricks to make your MidJourney animations cinematic

Most people using MidJourney focus on prompts for objects or characters. But if your animations feel flat, it’s probably not the subject, it’s the camera. Just like in film, the way you frame and move your shot completely changes the story. To prove it, let’s use the simplest subject: “astronaut floating in space.” Same astronaut, 20 different ways to shoot it.

Ai isn’t here to replace photographers, it’s here to mess with them, inspire them, and (if used right) give them superhero powers behind the lens. The trick is knowing how to lean into AI without giving away your creative soul (or your copyrights).

OpenAI: Paint me like one of your French neural nets

Let’s be honest: AI image generation used to be a little… cursed. Sure, it was fun. You’d type in something like “astronaut walking on the moon in the style of Van Gogh,” and then hold your breath while the machine spit out a blurry nightmare with seven fingers and no soul. But now? DALL·E 3 entered the chat like, “Alright, I’ve had 150,000 shots of espresso. Let’s rally!!”

AI art evolution: How to go from “meh” to “wow” with just a few tweaks

We’ve all done it. You type in a simple AI prompt like “Sea turtle in the water” and hit generate, expecting something majestic. Instead, you get a weird, blurry turtle that looks like it was assembled by a committee of confused algorithms. Meanwhile, some AI wizard out there is crafting prompts so detailed that their sea turtle looks like it belongs in an underwater sci-fi movie poster. What’s their secret? Better prompting.
