Anime prompt tips
Most anime models understand Danbooru tags: short words and phrases separated by commas.
- Start with who.
1girl,1boyor2girls, often withsolo. Animals work too:1kitten. - One tag per detail.
pink hair, short hair, wavy hairworks better than one long phrase. - Then clothes, pose and place.
gray hoodie, hood up, sitting in a small boat, lake, mist. - Set the framing.
close portrait,upper body,from above,dynamic angle. - Quality tags help.
masterpiece, best quality. MonAI adds the ones your chosen style expects if you leave them out. - Add an artist tag for a look. A weighted tag such as
(Nilitsu:1.2)pulls the picture toward that artist's style.
