Prompt
I had a fun, but difficult time making it. The image was inspired by this amazing scene in the new Fallout TV show. Getting the eyes to look over there and the finger on the trigger were the most challenging parts.

This was of course followed by much upscaling and inpainting along the way.

I'm interested in hearing more about your workflow.
For this comic (it's my only comic...), I follow a Starfield podcast that has a Discord server, and in it they organize a weekly challenge on a particular planet. I started taking screenshots every week and when I figured I had enough for a story, I created a Prologue using Midjourney.
When I put all of it together, images, speech bubbles, I use Figma. I use ChatGPT to generate dialogues. I tell chatgpt what I want characters to say, and it suggests 5 dialogue lines every time. I pick the best one or combine different parts.
Then export it in images and upload it on DeviantArt.
So you upload the screenshot into MidJourney to give it a base right? Have you ever tried using img2img with Stable Diffusion?
I did upload one screenshot until I was happy with the rendering on the character. But now Midjourney has a way to reuse previously generated characters with the parameter cref (character reference) and cw (character weight).
So you can just use an older character generation as a reference and tell Midjourney how much you want it to be exactly the same. If you put cw to 100 the character will have all the same clothes. If you set it to 50, it will be more creative, but it'll be the same face, but with different details.
I tried stable diffusion once but my computer is way too slow to generate bigger images than thumbnails. My graphic card is quite basic.
Here are some more images I generated with the same character reference.
