Consistency is a chain
What it took to keep one character on model across eighteen sheets.
Everyone wants a better prompt. The thing that actually worked was a stricter order of operations.
Decide what can never change
Write it down, in words a machine can be held to. Hair, face, one signature detail. Then write what must never appear.
Get one image approved
A person looks at it and says yes. From then on that image is the character, and the words are only there to help.
Pass it into everything
Every later step gets the approved image as a reference. Nothing starts from text alone.
Look at every result
Across two characters and eighteen sheets, two needed a retry. Drift still happens. The method does not prevent it, it catches it, and redraws from the sheet.
