🍌 How to use Nano Banana 2 for consistent characters

Character consistency was the holy grail of AI image work. Nano Banana 2 solved it. Here's how to use it to build storyboards, comics and long-form series.

What makes Nano Banana 2 special

Give it a reference photo of a person, product or creature — Nano Banana 2 keeps that subject visually consistent across every subsequent prompt. Same face, same wardrobe cues, same identity.

The reference-first workflow

Start with ONE clean, well-lit reference image. Then generate variations by changing only the environment, action or mood in your prompt. The subject stays; the world changes.

Storyboards and content series

For a 10-panel storyboard, run 10 prompts with the same reference, changing only the beat: 'wide establishing shot in the diner', 'close-up on her hands stirring coffee', 'over-the-shoulder as the door opens'. Instant continuity.

When to pick Flux Kontext instead

Nano Banana 2 wins on character continuity across scenes. Flux Kontext wins on tight edits to a single hero shot. Use both — one for series, one for polish.
