Character Keyframe Consistency Workflow Prompt for DALL-E
This is the DALL-E version of the character keyframe consistency workflow prompt: lock one character's face, hair and wardrobe into a reusable keyframe sheet, so every later image and video generation can be matched against it. It is formatted the way DALL-E takes prompts best. Free — copy it, replace the bracketed parts, and paste it in.
The prompt
Push copies this prompt with a reference line naming your image, and downloads the image file — attach it in the model to complete the pair. This page stages the pair for you; it cannot upload into the model itself (sites cannot reach into each other), so the final attach happens there. The image is downscaled to at most 1024px and stored only in this browser, paired with this prompt. If browser storage is full, it is kept for this visit only.
The deliverable — and how to check it
Deliverable: one reference sheet image containing exactly 4 views of the same character — front portrait, three-quarter portrait, full-body front, full-body profile — with identical face, hairstyle and wardrobe in every view. Acceptance check: compare the four faces side by side; face shape, hairline, and outfit details must match in all four. If any view drifts, regenerate using the strongest view as the reference before using the sheet — a keyframe with drift in it poisons every generation matched to it.

Using this prompt with DALL-E
DALL-E responds best to plain descriptive prose, not tag lists, which is why this version is written as a paragraph. Describe the subject, setting, light, and style in that order for the most reliable results.
What this route costs — and how to pay less
Cost structure: two routes — bundled inside ChatGPT's subscription plans (image generation included up to plan limits), or metered per image through OpenAI's API. The same prompt works on both. The same prompt is pre-configured in this library for every major model, so you can run it on whichever route fits your budget — comparing the structures before you generate is a free way to save money.
Replace the bracketed placeholders — [CHARACTER DESCRIPTION], [WARDROBE], [SETTING OR BACKDROP] — with your own details before pasting.
