Vibe

Clean, high-contrast anime with sharp linework and bright, glassy eyes.
Loves glossy surfaces: latex-like bodysuits, polished metal prosthetics, wet skin highlights, gemstones.
Color pops: saturated reds, magentas, and purples against dark or gradient backdrops; also sunny blues for seaside scenes.
Framing tends toward portrait and medium-full body with confident, expressive poses.

Best for

Sci‑fi heroines and mecha‑tinged pinups (shiny suits, cyber arms, emblem details).
Dark fantasy queens/sorceresses with skull motifs, capes, and purple aura lighting.
Summer slice‑of‑life: beachside portraits, sundresses, backlit skies, reflective water.
Character design sheets and poster-style key art where you want clean shapes and specular sheen.
Both SFW and NSFW workflows.

Prompting tips

Works great with tag-style prompts (Danbooru-like) but also reads short natural sentences.
Example tags:
"1girl, solo, portrait, detailed eyes, glossy bodysuit, mechanical arm, red hair, flame motif, dark background, dramatic lighting"
"pink hair, tiara, skulls, cape, dark fantasy, purple glow, jeweled accessories, medium shot"
"beach, sundress, braid, drinking juice, sunny sky, ocean, rim lighting, soft shadows"
Keep prompts focused on 1–2 style anchors (e.g., "glossy bodysuit" + "dramatic lighting") for the cleanest outputs.
Negative prompt suggestions: "extra limbs, deformed hands, text watermark, logo".
Recommended settings: steps 50, CFG 4.8, scheduler DDPM. Low CFG preserves the smooth Illustrious look; bump slightly for more contrast if needed.
Start with portrait aspect ratios and simple backgrounds; add props and scenery once you like the pose.
