A friend reached out after seeing my Midjourney tutorial on generating a cat-eared Keanu Reeves character. He was keen to make his own original AI character design using Midjourney but didn't have any clear concepts in mind. Plus, his limited English vocabulary, especially for clothing and hairstyle terms, made it difficult to craft detailed prompts.

This is where Claude, an AI chatbot developed by Anthropic, comes in handy. Similar to ChatGPT but more precise for writing tasks, Claude can generate rich character descriptions that you can feed straight into Midjourney for AI art generation.

When ChatGPT underwhelms, I always recommend exploring Claude or Gemini instead.

Here's how to leverage Claude for unique AI character creation:

Claude's Prompt Template for Unique Character Generation

To have Claude generate a new AI character description, provide it with this prompt structure:

a full body shot of a [gender] model [pose], [age], [ethnicity], with [facial features] and [hairstyles], wearing [tops], [bottoms], [shoes], [accessories], carrying [object]

Claude will populate the bracketed sections with descriptors for ethnicity, age, facial features, clothing styles, hairstyles, and props. If you have preferences, replace the relevant words.

For example, I asked Claude to create a charming antagonist character:

Follow this prompt structure and generate a charming antagonist character: a full body shot of a [gender] model [pose], [age], [ethnicity], with [facial features] and [hairstyles], wearing [tops], [bottoms], [shoes], [accessories], carrying [object]

Providing additional character details like personality traits and backstory will further refine Claude's AI character description. The more context you offer, the more accurate Claude's prompt will be.

Claude will then return a full character prompt like this:

A full body shot of a model standing, looking directly at the camera, 34 years old, Japanese ethnicity, with almond-shaped eyes, full lips, and a delicate yet haughty expression, with sleek black hair styled in a severe symmetrical bob, wearing a structured white blazer with dramatic winged shoulders over a sheer black lace bodysuit, skintight black leather pants, pointed-toe stiletto knee-high boots, a thick platinum choker and matching cuff bracelet, white background

Simply copy and paste this entire prompt into Midjourney, and let the AI art generator bring your newly crafted character to life!

Generating Multiple AI Characters Simultaneously

Need a cast of AI characters at once? No problem! Ask Claude to create themed character sets based on any criteria you specify.

For instance, to generate 12 fashionable fairy characters inspired by the astrological signs:

Follow this prompt structure and create 12 elfs based on 12 Zodiac signs: a full body editorial shot of a female elf [pose], 20s, [ethnicity], with long ears and [facial features] and [hairstyles], wearing [tops], [bottoms], [shoes], [accessories], [color] background, in the style of Vogue

Or to conceive an ensemble of 16 witches personifying different MBTI personality types:

Follow this prompt structure and create 16 characters based on MBTI types: a full body shot of a 20s female witch [pose], [age], [ethnicity], with [facial features] and [hairstyles], wearing [color] witch hat and [tops], [bottoms], [shoes], [accessories], carrying [object], in [scene]

In conclusion, with Claude's assistance, generating richly described, unique AI characters and groups for your Midjourney AI art has never been easier!

Give it a try for your next character design project!
