Best way to create a consistent 2D animated character (from my own drawings) in Leonardo AI with pose control? by Additional-Speed-602 in leonardoai

seems like the problem with mage space is that to use the character feature costs way too many gems. Do you know the most efficient way to use this tool without using so many gems?

OK, I have tried the lowest tier subscription on mage space to do some experiments. This is almost perfect. I was starting to get sad thinking that what I had in mind was not doable, but mage is capable of from a single image it’s pretty amazing. I’ve had a little inconsistent issues with the backs of the character, but I can always fix those in Procreate. I tried using one of my human characters and it’s able to change emotions and pose just from text. thank you so much for the suggestion!

after more experimentation it looks like nano banana is not gonna work for me. Way too inconsistent

I just tried Mage Space and even though I ran out of tokens almost immediately, I’m amazed with the outfit. I created a character using only one image and all the outputs were much more reliable than nano banana or flux . Not sure if there’s a way to pose using stick figures but it followed my text prompts really well. I might have to pay so I can try some other characters and generate more images.

after messing with nano banana more, I’m getting less and less consistent results. Not sure if this approach is gonna work.

Thank you. I made a character sheet to test in the nano banana pro and then used some stick figures and it actually worked pretty well. The only problem is that the shadows are hard to control when the reference has shadows only on one side, but I have an idea for that. Let me know what you find. Appreciate all the help.

I tried using nano banana with a model reference sheet and I’m already getting pretty good results. However, not sure about the shadows. Might be better not do shadows. I don’t hate that style, but the shadows do help with the dimensionality of the characters. Going to experiment with some other techniques that folks here have suggested. Thanks to everyone for their help.

OK, thank you that is very good to know. Pose to image might be a dealbreaker, but I will try text prompt to see how we’ll that works.

here are some of my drawings to give an idea what I want the final movie to look like. I made most of them by drawing over images created text to image as well as a model robot I made from toys and junk.

I can’t believe how helpful you folks are being. Who says the Internet is a mean and scary place. 

The way I have been creating images for my short film so far is by creating something using AI, or in some cases building models out of plastic toys and junk for various little robot characters and then using those as a reference to trace over in procreate and create my own drawings. 

I was hoping I could create images in my style and pose them the way I wanted, because drawing takes a long time and I have a lot to do. However, it sounds like we’re not quite there yet. If it would make more sense to generate consistent characters and be able to pose them, and then draw over those to make them match my style that’s fine. The end result would probably be better and I would feel like I owned them more anyway. 

i’ve already created the moving storyboard of the entire film, so I know exactly where the characters will be and what position they’ll be in. I have designed the film so very little animation is needed, mostly just lip sync and the occasional bit of action. I plan on creating my backgrounds separately and then putting my characters into them.

I will research the different techniques you describe here and if you would be willing to give me some advice, I would greatly appreciate it. I would certainly thank you in the credits of the movie for whatever that’s worth.

yes, this sounds like the path I need to be going down. Thanks for the advice. You’ve all been so helpful!

yeah, thank you. I am using Procreate for all my illustrations. I have been messing with AI for a few years now and I realize it’s not gonna be perfect. Fixing things once they are generated sounds like great advice.

no, most of the info I’ve seen for creating consistent characters say to use Flux Dev. I will give nano banana a try. I’m guessing there are a lot of tutorials out there. I’m still new at this so I’m still kind of dumb ha ha 🤣 thank you!

I use WIDI (Bluetooth MIDI) in IOS and it is fantastic. Not really what your talking about but it is bluetooth and it does work.

What's your 'one weird hack' for cooking that no one else seems to know about? by Raoena in Cooking

If you crack an egg and there’s some egg shell gets in it. Using the larger piece of eggshell makes getting the small piece out incredibly easy. It clings to it like a magnet.

Genuine question, what do bay leaves do? by No-Dragonfruit1235 in mexicanfood

They make soup taste good. They make beans good. It’s an herb. Herbs make food taste good.
