💬 How to prompt

Write in natural descriptive sentences, not in tags. Open every prompt with anime illustrious to activate the style, then describe the scene as you would to a human illustrator.

anime illustrious, a young woman with long flowing silver hair standing on a temple balcony at sunset, soft golden light falling across her face, cherry blossom petals drifting in the wind, detailed embroidered kimono, cinematic composition, shallow depth of field

Tips

• Always start with anime illustrious.
• Describe in sentences and avoid long comma-separated tag strings.
• A lower CFG softens the style, a higher CFG pushes it more strongly.
• 25 or more steps noticeably improve hands and poses on non-Turbo models.
• For Turbo variants (Ernie-Turbo, Z-Turbo), keep the steps low (about 8) and the CFG modest (about 2.5 – 3.0).
