Tips
- Anime SDXL checkpoints such as Illustrious XL were trained on Danbooru images, so short Danbooru-style tags (1girl, silver hair, school uniform) suit them better than long sentences. Pony Diffusion V6 XL also expects its score_9, score_8_up, … string at the start of the prompt.
- For the same character in several images, write one fixed description (hair, eyes, outfit) and reuse it word for word. Change only the pose and the scene.
- Hands are the most common error. Hide them (hands in pockets, holding an object) or fix them with inpainting instead of adding more negative terms.
