AI Character Sheet
A 7-slot, portrait-focused sheet built to feed reference images into AI video generation tools.
This layout is built specifically around AI-generated character portraits rather than full-body illustration references. It's a 7-slot, portrait-focused sheet designed to feed AI video generation tools that use a reference image to hold a character's identity consistent across multiple generated shots.
What's included
Seven slots: a master portrait (the largest reference), front, 45° portrait, neutral expression, standing idle pose, studio lighting reference, and default outfit. Notice what is absent — there are no back or full-body rotation views here, because most AI video reference systems weight facial and upper-body consistency far more heavily than full rotation, and including irrelevant views dilutes the reference rather than strengthening it.
How to use it
Generate your character portrait in whichever AI tool you use, then generate the remaining 6 supporting views by feeding that same portrait back into the generator as a reference — this is the step people skip, and it's the reason character drift happens: generating 7 independent images without a shared reference produces 7 slightly different faces, not one consistent character. Once all 7 slots are filled with views that clearly show the same face, export and feed the finished sheet into your video tool's reference-image field.
Who it's for
Creators making multi-shot AI video with a recurring character — faceless YouTube channels, short-form AI film, and anyone whose character needs to survive more than one generated clip without visibly changing. This is not the right layout if you need full-body or back views — use the Turnaround Sheet or Character Reference Sheet instead, since this one is deliberately narrow in scope.
The most common mistake with this layout is filling it with 7 images generated from 7 unrelated prompts, rather than 7 images generated from the same reference portrait. A technically complete sheet built this way will still produce drift in the video tool, because the sheet itself already contains 7 different faces before it is even exported.
How it compares
If you need full-body views for illustration or animation rather than AI video specifically, the Character Reference Sheet is the better fit. This layout is intentionally narrower and built for one specific downstream use.

Frequently asked questions
It's portrait-focused with no full-body or back views — built specifically to feed AI video tools rather than for illustration reference.
Any tool that accepts a reference image to hold character consistency across generated shots, including Google's Flow, Kling, and Runway.
No. GiveMeImage arranges portrait images you already have — from Midjourney, Nano Banana, Flow, Kling, or any other source — into this layout. It doesn't generate new views or create character art from a text prompt; you supply every image.
Yes — this is the step that actually prevents drift. Generating each slot independently defeats the purpose of the layout.
Most AI video reference systems weight face and upper-body consistency far more than full rotation, so those views were left out deliberately rather than by oversight.
Yes, but you'll likely also want the full Character Reference Sheet for anything requiring full-body or back views.
Most reference-image fields don't require more than 1024-2048px per view — check your specific tool's requirements before exporting at maximum resolution.
Yes, provided you can get consistent portrait angles of the drawn character — the same reference-consistency principle applies regardless of source.
Yes, exports at 1024×1024 with a watermark on the free plan; 4K unlocked on a paid plan.
