Why AI image gen fail at cartoon character consistency (and our fix)

https://consistentcharacter.ai

neolemon•4mo ago
I'm Sachin, and I spent the last year fixing a problem that drives creators nuts: getting AI to make the same character over and over. The problem: You create a cartoon character in Midjourney or ChatGPT. It's perfect. Then you ask for the same character sitting down, or wearing a hat, or holding a book... and you get a completely different person. Same description, different face. This ruins everything for:

- Children's book authors who need 20-30 illustrations of the same character - Teachers making learning materials with characters - Content creators building animated stories

Why does this happen? AI image tools don't remember what they just made. Every time you hit "generate," they start fresh. It's like asking 30 different artists to draw your character – you'll get 30 different versions.

What we built: A tool that remembers your character. You create them once, then make as many versions as you want – but everything stays exactly the same: the face, body proportions, shape, and even the tiny details that make your character unique. How it works:

Describe your character once (or upload a reference image) Use our editors to create variations: Action Editor – make them run, jump, dance Pose Editor – change how they stand or sit Expression Editor – happy, sad, surprised, angry faces Outfit Editor – different clothes and accessories

Every image keeps your character exactly the same

NEW: Multiple Character Consistency Our most requested feature just launched! Put 2-3 consistent characters in the same scene. Users are loving this for conversations between characters, family groups, and character interactions.

Demo video: https://youtu.be/7auCya47lEI

What we've learned from 100,000+ images per month: People care deeply about every detail staying consistent – not just the face, but body proportions, unique shape, and tiny features like freckles or how their hair curls. These small details make a character feel real. The site is consistentcharacter.ai – built it solo, now at 700+ subscribers (mostly children's book authors who used to spend $300+ per illustration).

Happy to answer questions!
