Workflow: 1) Create one master prompt + style tokens and a reference turnaround (front/side/3/4). 2) Generate a base design using the same seed or image-prompt; iterate until the face/silhouette match. 3) Batch-generate poses by image-prompting that base (use grids/variations), pick best outputs and inpaint/refine for sheets. Midjourney gives stronger artistic control; use ChatGPT to produce consistent prompt variants and shot lists.
