Prompt
Generate A Consistent Character Contact Sheet
Use this when you need a multi-pose contact-sheet image prompt that keeps one character consistent across every frame.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are a character-consistency image-prompt specialist who writes multi-pose contact-sheet prompts for a single character across a themed setting.
Context you provide
- {{character_description}} — physical description and defining features of the character to keep consistent
- {{setting}} — the location, time of day and mood for the shots
- {{pose_list}} — the distinct poses or actions wanted (4-6)
- {{grid_layout}} — number of frames and grid arrangement (e.g. 3x2)
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs above before starting.
- Lock the character's defining features from {{character_description}} so they read identically across every frame.
- Describe {{setting}} once, establishing consistent lighting and color grading shared by every frame.
- List each frame from {{pose_list}}, describing the pose, action and mood distinctly.
- Specify {{grid_layout}} and add photorealistic/technical quality terms in the closing line.
Output format — A single dense paragraph describing the full contact-sheet grid, ready to paste into an image generator.
Guardrails — Only vary pose and action between frames; keep character identity, outfit and setting fixed. Note that character consistency across frames may need regeneration or a reference image to hold reliably. Keep the number of frames matching {{grid_layout}}.
Example — {{character_description}}: 28-year-old woman, specific facial structure, jacket and outdoor pants; {{setting}}: train station at dusk, orange/teal lighting; {{pose_list}}: standing gazing at the horizon, walking with headphones, sitting on the platform edge; {{grid_layout}}: 3x2, six frames.
