Some of you may know me for my articles over at civitai. I create prompts for EVERYTHING (xD) and find new ways of prompting.
For now, i will just copy-paste the content of my articles as some kind of backup and to make it easier for you to find them.
(And to know why i use hyphens, please read this article first: https://civitai.com/articles/3496/dashes-and-why-i-use-them )
------
If you guys want something "cute and chibi", mostly you prompt "child", "girl", "chibi" and "cute" or "cuteness-overload" as an extra. But there is a one-prompt-solution that has all that in its name:
"cutesie"
It generates those chibis in one go.....
------
Something small for better hands:
If you explicitly explain your checkpoint that your character is from "every-day", it automatically results in better hands.
------
Again something for better hands:
"emphasized-details"
Numeric weights and brackets, both work. Weight itself is trial-and-error. Example image and what to do here Image posted by stapfschuh (civitai.com)
------
And another part of my todo-list was "Sadako".
Put "1girl, crawling-out-of-tv-screen-horror-scene, sadako, caught-inside-tv-screen, crawling-outside"
in positive without ANY prompt for detail or good hands. Just let your checkpoint take over on graphics and hands for better effects. To be honest, with these prompts, i got that scene of Sadako very often, but a lot of times, i had way too much fun, because sometimes, my checkpoint generated that "stuck in a washing machine meme", too. Sadako stuck in a washing machine saying "What are you diong, stepbro?" was way too funny...
-----
For super erotic cuties, put
(((physically-uncommon)))
in negative. Found this out by chance while testing new prompts. For best results and because i did not test it with other prompts, keep your negative empty and use only this prompt. In positive, just add 1girl and a location to get direct results.
-----
You know that your checkpoint takes everything really serious. Wanna see something that YOU wanna see and your checkpoint DOES actually understand on HOW it is meant?
"hand-some" in positive
YOU mean this as a joke and your checkpoint DOES really understand this as a joke. You will get really nice hands for a while and some hands, too... And you will get "handsome" looks. I've only tested it on anime-checkpoints.
It's just funny to see that we and artifical intelligence have something in common.
(actually, your checkpoint is just confused, because it does not know if you mean "handsome" or if you want something based on "hands" or "some hands")
------
Another one from my list is better "photo-realism". Most of the time, when using "photo-realistic", i get someone taking photos. I hate this. Adding prompts in negative was sometimes helpful, but my checkpoints added something else to take photos instead.
"photo-same-realistic" in positive....
You instantly get even better quality on realism in pure anime-checkpoints. And because i always wanna squeeze out the maximum, i made this freak of a prompt:
" Ultra-HD-photo-same-realistic-quality-details" ... You know what to do with it. :D
Numeric weights got hated again by all of my checkpoints. Brackets work.
-----
If you are every in a bad mood or depressed and you want to express your feelings, try this prompt:
"in-the-middle-of-nowhere" in positive
At first, your checkpoints will just be confused, but the moment they understand it, you get awesome images. Anime-checkpoints generated more creepy stuff with just a person in it, while realistic checkpoints generated more creepy atmosphere with a person and nature.
-----
Something i already forgot and remembered again now:
If you don't want to see NSFW-stuff, you normally put NSFW in negative. With or without weights. But sometimes, this stuff still pops up...
I found a prompt months ago that i had to use because those online-ai-generators sometimes banned you or blackened your images if you generated NSFW-stuff accidentially.
"unprompted-nsfw:2" in negative is insanely helpful.
But if you prompt NSFW-stuff on purpose, it will get generated. But mostly only some bare breasts :D
-----
Without much blabla, put
"femme-fatale" in positive with or without lora to get some nice surprises
-----
wanna see the weirdest randomness (not "ever". pretty sure, i will find more stupid prompts like this one)? prompt in positive
"best-ideas"
solo on checkpoints or with characterprompt (charactermodels don't work well with it, since it doesn't change the character but only looks or places).
-----
put
"crap" in negative to confuse your checkpoints.
brackets and numbers, both work if needed.
this one was mainly something out of fun, but strangely, my checkpoints got so confused that they always generated everything how it should look. even on character models.
working on xl too....
-----
many of you know that famous sentence "notice me, senpai!"
prompt it and you will get noticed :D
"notice-me-senpai!"
results are different on every checkpoint, but the most "notice" will you get on realistic checkpoints.
-----
if you have a character-lora and don't want to get another style mixed in, normally you don't lower the weight, but there are easy ways to lower the weight and to keep the original style.
(((original-style, original-style-accurate, original-style-perfect)))
if you have an anime character, then it should look like this
(((original-style, original-style-accurate, original-style-perfect, original-anime-style, original-anime-style-accurate, original-anime-style-perfect))) (and civit is suuuuuuuuuuper slow right now)
and for cartoon, simply replace anime with cartoon.
and you can even replace "original" with "official", but some models had a few problems with this sometimes, so i recommend it only for trial and error.
-----
and here something helpful for better hands, because i just forgot it (and am honestly just lazy and tired this sunday to open a new article) :
"snap-fingers:2" in negative
-----
"unexpected-surprise-snapshot" will give you a lot of funny moments. add a location and activity to get better results.
"shower-interior" f.e. is very nice, but don't expect anyone to be naked. you have to add negative prompts for better effects.
and if you just prompt "surprise-snapshot", you will get a lot of embarrassing moments.
-----
"akuma" in positive to generate some very impressive looking bad guys
-----
"decorative"
did not generate what i had in mind (tested with decorative-jewelry), but instead gave me a lot of things i never expected. ero-poses, , barely dressed characters, tight outfits, a "don't look at me" pose" and much more.
-----
dangerous diabetes: "cutesie-cuteness-overload:2" :D
-----
if you want something similar to "femme-fatale", prompt "over-sexualized" or over-sexualized-body" or "over-sexualized-femme-fatale" (just for fun :D), but keep in mind that you will get a lot of nsfw-images.
-----
adding "confusing" in negative, f.e. "confusing-poses", is insanely helpful to get better results. it seems to force checkpoints to generate simple images and/or anatomy.
-----
since i have seen people way too often describing on their images that they don't want any detail on backgrounds, here a simple reminder on what you should prompt:
"in-focus" or "in-total-focus" or "in-main-focus"
your character WILL be in total/main focus and backgrounds WILL be blurry without any detail...
-----
the following prompt happened because i tested places on different checkpoints and some of those checkpoints generated too much nsfw:
"dangerous-erotic" ... if needed, use weights. sometimes those characters simply looked too young and that's why i wanted a prompt to prevent anything "dangerous" from happening.
characters don't show up undressed anymore and if they wear skirts, legs get blurred out or you get only a close-up. not always, but many times.
-----
"hillbilly" or "untreated-hillbilly" in positive to get some very nice images. and since some checkpoints got confused and always generated "sarah" from "the last of us", put "3D-rendering" in negative.
-----
tried some lover's scenes and was pissed that, even with any negative prompt for anatomy, those fingers still were glued together.
"2-in-1" in negative solved it :D
-----
bored? life sucks right now? try "cutesie-shark-that-just-wants-to-cuddle" and get a huge smile on your face
-----
someone published a lora of the following prompt and i was just curious about what would happen:
"bond-girl" generates, badum-tsss, bond girls.... 99,9% only erotic images
-----
"end-boss", "final-boss" or "last-boss" in positive. all three generate different characters. using "1woman" generates women similar to "lady dimitrescu" from "resident evil"
-----
i always see this "openpose" stuff here on civit and honestly can only laugh about it. zero creativity behind it...
well, there is this one that drew my attention: stairs. it was a bit tricky, but just for a few seconds, because you have to be very describtive:
"walking-down-stairs-of-a-station-straight-looking-at-viewer"... as you can see, you have to add a location and a viewing direction. if you don't prompt those two, you always will only see someone walking upstairs. and no, "downstairs" or "upstairs" doesn't work. characters are simply walking somewhere if you prompt it like this.
-----
i was aked to find a solution and, honestly, i was a bit surprised that this worked so easily even at the first try:
"couple-sex, 2people-having-sex-together, vaginal-sex, man+woman"
no need to change image resolution. it works on anime and realistic checkpoints.
EDIT: 512x1024 WILL generate a super funny freakshow :D
-----
"motto-of-a-" prompt any character you want. most of the time you can't read those "mottos" but you get very uniqe images. and it can be a strating point to teach ai text (maybe?)
-----
maybe you've seen that "Metropolis Movie Style" on civitai. I was curious on what would happen. Well:
"(((Ultra-HD-quality-details))) metropolis-movie-style, robotic" in positive as a base. "robotic" makes everything a bit more futuristic and adds a better effect.
if you want mixed characters and not just robots from that movie and remove that metropolis-background, put "metropolis-as-a-city" in negative.
for more realistic "1927" style use those prompts from my "vintage" article.
https://civitai.com/posts/1342745
-----
the following really surprised me. i wanted "domestic arts" but together with my way of prompting,
"domestic-arts",
i got many mixed images. Sometimes photos, sometimes paintings of "domestic arts". most of the time they had a renaissance style. and civit is again super slow.
-----
a few days ago i found a new way of prompting that can generate very accurate results. i'm testing a lot of combinations using this method. a new article will definitely be published next week, but here is a little "freebie" to show you what i mean and what it does:
-"" ... and to get those question marks out of your head, take a look here: Image post by stapfschuh | Civitai
-----
something only good if you have problems with faces, arms or legs:
"apoplexy" in negative
not intended to give you perfect anatomy! it's only purpose is to get the same length on arms and legs and keeps faces in shape.
-----
just by adding "supporting-pose" in positive, you can reduce any body-horror nearly 100%. only hands, unprompted anywhere, were still sometimes messed up because i didn't prompt anything specific.
-----
sigh "tiny-house-on-wheels".... mostly working on realistic checkpoints
-----
1girl-holding-"yes"-pillow, heart-shaped-pillow ... "no" does not work. generates only a bunch of text every time. Image post by stapfschuh | Civitai
-----
"cartoonified-character", "animefied-character" change only the character to cartoon or anime without changing the whole image. works without "character", too, but with it, you are on the safe side.
"lolified" or any word you can think of. just add "fied" at the end and get some surprises.
some "glued" together words generate very funny images, but you will see a lot of question marks on some checkpoints or this "what?!?!"-face...xD
-----
saw that someone really made a lora just for this:
"1girl-wearing-blue-knitted-sweater-with-a-small-heart-symbol"
put "plastic-looking-fabric" in negative if necessary, because some realistic checkpoints generated it looking like plastic. and, if necessary, also put "child" in negative, because "small" ended up generating children on some checkpoints. sigh seriousness sometimes is annoying.
-----
i started watching that anime "i shall survive-using potions" a few weeks ago and kaorus' sadistic grin was one thing that i totally love, so here it is:
"sadistic-moe-grin"
best effects and results in general will you get on non-realistic checkpoints. on realistic ones, it just looked dumb somehow.
-----
"1girl-wearing-spaghetti-noodles-style-dress-with-meatballs-sticking-onto-it" (prompt looks really weird, but did not work any other way) generates that spaghetti dress that you can find on civit. better use it on realistic checkpoints. non-realistic checkpoints generated some really freaky images where spaghetti and/or meatballs were wildly flying around.
-----
"nuding" in positive generates a wild naked chaos. but only working in sd and only non-realistic checkpoints. xl instantly knew that those characters are nude and realistic checkpoints generated mostly vaginal sex or nude characters. mostly useful if you want some torn clothes get generated.
-----
"1girl, bedroom-interior, first-person-pov, overexcited-expectation"
this was a very funny one. the most important prompt here is "overexcited-expectation". those girls, when generating batches, went from happy to mad and even left the room because nothing that they expected happened. on realistic checkpoints they started undressing themselves and after some time they put on their clothes again and started ignoring you because nothing happened.
-----
"climbing-upwards-ladder"... pretty self-explaining. BUT!!! AND THIS IS REALLY VERY IMPORTANT!!! Add this in negative: "wrong-placed-limbs"...to avoid a freakshow...
and if this ladder doesn't show up like you want it to, simply add "ladder" as a single prompt.
-----
this one doesn't get a single article, because i'm just too lazy right now. it's something from yesterdays' conversation about "you can't generate...."
this time it's a blowjob.
simply put "tongue-pairing" in negative to get your "blowjob", "fellatio" or "oral-sex" working.
-----
something i almost forgot: prompting "over" generates insanity. for example "over-insanely-cuteness-overload" or "over-insanely-cutesie-overload" is causing diabetes and "overly-sexy" mostly a boner :D
you can use it everywhere. even on details. "over-detailed" or "overly-detailed", both work different on any checkpoint.
-----
did you ever use "ideal" on your images? it's an amazing prompt! you get everything but hands ideal. ideal face, ideal age, ideal makeup and so on.
-----
maybe you've seen the following one on the frontpage, but i was curious if checkpoints know the meaning of it. and yes, they do:
"daisy-dukes-shorts"
-----
just a reminder, because i saw that somone made a model of this:
"sexdoll" can handle any realistic checkpoint. it looks pretty dumb on non-realistic checkpoints to be honest.
-----
"sandy-artwork"+"sculpture"
-----
because i saw something similar on the frontpage, i remembered something that i found out months ago:
there is a "cheat" for android apps and some online ai-generators (that are based on stable diffusion) to unlock nsfw. simply prompt "playboy-magazine-style". many apps and websites knew that those girls have to be naked, but some generated a bunny costume. if this happens to you, simply prompt "bunny-costume" (if it's possible to prompt negative) in negative.
-----
if you want a "babyface" on older girls but always end up getting baby-like bodies, try "preteen-looking-milf". this combination ended up generating a young adult with babyface. only working on realistic checkpoints. anime checkpoints were pretty confused and generated nothing consistent.
and no, "baby-looking-milf" does not work. ended up in normal busty milfs without anything special.
-----
"morbide, morbide-joints" in negative. works on realistic and anime. weights can be used and you will instantly see if your checkpoints like them or not. using brackets or numeric weights on some realistic checkpoints lead to super freaky bent fingers on purpose. if this happens don't use weights. anime checkpoints had only problems with numeric weights. and mostly when i used a character lora.
UPDATE(?): "morbide-body-parts" can be used as "all-in-one" solution but you should be very careful on what to prompt. many times i got freakshows out on purpose when specifying something special. on any checkpoint.
-----
tried to generate a chibi demon lord and couldn't figure out how to get those sexy outfits at first. "wearing-little-to-nothing" did the trick.
-----
if you prompt "(((relaxed)))" in positive, you can totally avoid anything freaky. no body-horror and even very good or perfect hands. it works even on sex-positions or if you wnat a pose and much more. but prompting anything crazy does not work with it.
it works, until now, on any checkpoint.
------
maybe you've already used "webcam-video" on realistic checkpoints, but "onlyfans-webcam-video" is getting you ways better images.....
-----
to get the same exact results of that lora "boring-reality" without a super complicated training and dataset and without distortions and other creepy results, simply prompt "everyday-happening". generates the same style on any realistic checkpoint. easy xD
-----
saw that "visiting places all around the world" lora and it got me a new "multi-purpose-prompt".
"1girl-visiting-places-all-around-the-world", "first-person-pov", "photo-diary-like" generates photos in the style of a photo diary with absolutely unpredictable photos as you can see here.
"photo-diary-like" can be used like a style on many photo scenes or scenarios. sadly that "digital time and date stamp" in any way of prompting never worked
-----
"mix-of-every-race" generates very unique faces. not even looks known. similar sometimes, but never alike.
"mix-of-every-race-and-skin-color" is working too, but 90% only dark skin. nothing gets really mixed anymore.
-----
(((casual))) generates a mix of super erotic styles on any checkpoint
-----
"nudesie" generates a naked "cutesie". but has nothing to do with cutesie itself. naked cute females only.
-----
if you have problems getting "low rise pants" get generated, use "casual", "low-rise-pants" and "no-virgin-anymore" on any realistic checkpoint. and for more spice, prompt "daisy-dukes".
-----
"irresistible"... a multiprompt. cuteness-overload, erotic-overload, beauty-overload, attention-overload, happiness-overload, nsfw-overload... all together
-----
"rotten-flesh-zombie-style" to get your zombie......
-----
"wearing-full-body-protection-bike-suit" generates what the prompt says. it generates, without prompting it, suits for motorbikes and bicyles. so better prompt what you wish for to see. and don't use any style, any feature or anything that changes looks. you will only get strange suits this way that most of the time have nothing in common with protection anymore.
-----
if you use "physically-realistic", you get insanely good realistic images on non-realistic checkpoints. and even better results got generated when i put "3D-rendering" in negative. but this is trial and error. if your checkpoint generates anime-style on purpose then remove 3D-rendering.
-----
prompting "bombshell-body" saves you an insane amount of prompts for female bodies. and with this prompt you get those low-rise-pants instantly when prompting "casual" Image posted by stapfschuh (civitai.com)
-----
UFOMaker: "physical-ufo, flying-in-the-sky, designer-quality" Image posted by stapfschuh (civitai.com)
if you remove "physical" to generate a ufo, you will mostly only get something circular. the second prompt is, because it got stuck into something most of the time and the last one is because without it, you will mostly get cigar-shaped ufos.
and it only works on vertical images....
-----
a while ago, someone asked me if i could find a prompt for better lighting (and i can't find that comment anymore). since i absolutely have zero knowledge about photography, i simply read a few articles online. i couldn't find anything helpful and at the end i didn't understand that stuff at all. but i didn't want to give up on that prompt and just tried something else to get a similar effect.
simply prompt "lit" and you'll get very good lighting. tested it on 1 image and seed indoors to see it's effect and on shadowy places outdoors.
-----
saw this "swimming-pool interior" lora and tried it. "interior" isn't good to get this generated, but "indoor" did the trick:
"private-indoor-luxus-swimming-pool"
every checkpoint could generate it. sometimes it generated roofed swimming-pools. if this happens and you don't like it, just add "interior" as an extra. add anything you want to see as it generates only a swimming-pool.
works best on vertical images and high resolutions
-----
i tried recreating anyas "heh" face. it is still an insane competition, because i can't figure out how to get those half-closed eyes, but here is what i already got:
"anya-forgers-cynical-"heh"-grin-meme", "half-closed-eyelids"
put "meme-like" in negative. strangely, "anya forger" and "meme" had to be added. anime-checkpoints did only recognize that grin with both words added. and add 1girl. without that, you get a bunch of craziness most of the time.
and during my trial-and-error, i found something very unique:
"cartoonified-pupils" or "small-sized-cartoonified-pupils"
use the first one for normal sizes. those generated very unique "aqua eyes". but not only blue, any color got generated. and most of the time they looked more like crystal eyes than aqua eyes.
and if you add "black" before "pupils", you get some super strange rings inside those eyes many times.
-----
because i use that prompt "casual" way too much and mostly on realistic checkpoints, i never realized what happens on non-realistic checkpoints:
images became dark, boring and lifeless and those clothes always were just grey.
well, i fixed that very easily and put "grey-in-grey" in negative and now images are super lively, have vivid colors and clothes still are casual but very colorful. on every checkpoint :D
-----
if your realistic checkpoint generates octopus-like finges that have more bones than skin, even when using my prompts, add "bulging-fingers" in negative and they should look like fine fingers again. happened to me very often and never saw it until yesterday while looking at and comparing older images, i saw those fingers together with my anatomy-prompts and tried to change it.
-----
sigh ... honestly.. floating islands? lora? simply prompt
"scenery-with-floating-islands-in-the-sky-in-foreground" or "scenery-with-floating-islands-in-the-sky-in-background" as a base and add anything else you want to see. working on any checkpoint and resolution, but i recommend a resolution of 1024x1024, just because it looked the best.
-----
octagon-sign-with-sticker-depicting-"sylvester-stallone", wallpaper-design
replace "sylvester-stallone" with anything you want to see. any character or scenery is possible. Image posted by stapfschuh (civitai.com)
-----
if you have problems getting your character looking "up", "down" or any other direction, try "looking-upwards", "looking-skywards", "looking-sidewards" (prompt left or right) or "looking-downwards". on some checkpoints i had a lot of successes with "looking-gen-sky", "looking-gen-south" (replace with east, west or north) or indoors "looking-gen-ceiling", looking-gen-wall" or any other direction "looking-gen-...."
-----
sometimes this place (civitai) feels like a preschool... lora for "wind blowing through hair"????? WTF!!!
"wind-blowing-through-hair"...... any checkpoint can handle it....
EDIT: change directions if you want
-----
"top-ranking" in positive is pretty confusing to describe. it generates "cutesie", "bombshell" and "mix-of-every-race" combined in one image all the time. prompt a location together with "relaxed" in positive or use negative anatomy prompts, because without it, you will see more limbs then necessary a lot of times.
a-----
kid's room? prompt "kid's-room-interior" and "boyish-style" or "girlish-style". best results, like any interior, on vertical images
-----
if you want to describe the front of a ship, normally you would prompt "bow". well, "bow" has some other meanings and will confuse your checkpoint. instead prompt "bow-(nautic) and your checkpoint will instantly know what to generate
-----
lol... sometimes animes can be a source for new ideas.
"glow-of-life" in positive for awesome lighting and/or lighting effects
UPDATE(?): this prompt generated way too much nsfw and this was pissing me off. prompting any clothes did not work. i just prompted "completely-dressed-up:2" and they finally did wear something, but now, checkpoints basically generated a light-show and didn't know where to put those lights. "outdoors" or any other location did the trick.
-----
do you sometimes get mad because some loras refuse to generate good hands or feet even with heavy prompts? well, try
"unprofessional-joints"
with any weight you want and those loras should finally give up. remembered this one from my old days when i started my research, because
"unprofessional-bodies"
can generate very good hands, too.
-----
after i saw a model that had the theme "sweets" in it, i remembered a wild prompt that i made in the past that can generate the same stuff. but it's totally useless on realistic checkpoints. they never generated anything sweet after i added characters or objects. they only generated characters or objects. well, here it is:
"sugar-sweet-candy-overload:2" Image posted by stapfschuh (civitai.com)
works with "cartoon-style" and/or "anime-style" and any other theme or style that you want to see.
-----
"doomsday" as single prompt generates very different images. mostly something dark but never anything consistent. with a bit more description it acts like a style and generates many times "final moments"
-----
one of my followers sent my a prompt for testing. thanks for this!
"multi-layer-x"
replace "x" with anything. the best replacement that i found until now is "lighting".
it generates an insane lightshow everywhere on your images. foreground, background, on characters themselves, on clothes, jewelry, flowers and so on. and together with "glow-of-life", it gets even wilder.
