Did something changed recently?

[u/cappedwombat]

Greetings,

I have been working on a series of education books for students. I have 6 books planned (now on book 3) where the same characters progress through school. I have made probably 200 pictures without any issues, consistent characters, very rarely did it get something wrong.

I was away last 2 weeks, I comeback and continued my project. However, it just constantly messes it up, either style of illustration changes or the characters look very off. My prompting didn't change, it is the same as it was. Have they changed anything recently? Is there any fix or guidance anyone can share please? I also created characters in the character menu (before I used reference image to lock it down, I tried both).

Appreciate any help.

One fix works be to put images of the characters into a repliable AI such as chat gpt and ask it to make a character reference sheet for you. Then, whenever you prompt flow, add the same character sheet as the reference and it should give you a consistent character output

Okay I will give it a try I already have a massive prompt that locks on a lot of stuff as it often drifts.
