About the Midjourney V7 Character Portrait Prompt Template

This ai & automation template assigns the AI the role of a portrait photographer and Midjourney V7 prompt engineer specializing in character consistency via --sref, --cref, and --seed, so the prompt it builds is framed by genuine subject-matter expertise rather than a generic request.

What it does: Write a Midjourney V7 character portrait prompt for your character with your lighting lighting, in your style style, optimized for consistency across multiple generations.

You fill in 11 fields (4 required, 7 optional), and SurePrompts assembles a complete, structured prompt you can paste straight into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini.

Generate AI prompts, model configurations, and AI-related content.
