⚠️ CFG warning: keep your prompt clean (no booru-style quality stack) at 5+. If you want to use heavy quality tags like masterpiece, best quality, very aesthetic, drop CFG to 3.5-4 to avoid burning.
⚠️ IMPORTANT — skip the booru quality stack
This is a merge**, not an anime checkpoint. If you pile on `masterpiece, best quality, very aesthetic, absurdres, and parenthesized weight boosts on every quality tag, it WILL over-condition and burn your output (hyper-saturated, posterized, neon nightmare). Trust the merge — minimal quality conditioning or none at all is the way.
🎯 Suggested negative prompt
lowres, bad anatomy, bad hands, missing fingers, extra digits, deformed, blurry, jpeg artifacts, watermark, signature, text
Just the anatomy floor. No more.
💡 Tip
Pair this with ADetailer for full-body shots — the SDXL architecture struggles to render fine facial detail at 80-100px face heights in 832×1216 full-body framing. ADetailer fixes that beautifully.
