Choose a Suitable Base Model

Select a model that closely matches the desired art style before starting.

Go to the Image Generation section, browse the Models library, and select a concept art or anime style model as per the project.

View the sample images (preview) of each model before selecting to avoid wasting time on trial and error.

Write a Basic Character Description Prompt

Describe in detail the appearance, clothing, and background of the main character.

Enter a prompt like "female warrior character, silver armor, red hair, fantasy style, dramatic lighting" and press Generate.

Create 4-8 images at a time to have multiple options before finalizing the most preferred version.

Create an Element from the Selected Character

Train a separate Element to maintain the character's appearance for different scenes.

Select the preferred character image, go to Elements > Train New Element, and upload 5-10 variant images of the same character for training.

The more angles of the character in the training data, the better the Element will maintain consistency.

Create Various Scenes with the Same Character

Use the trained Element to place the character in new contexts and poses.

Turn on the created Element in the Elements section of the prompt, describe the new context such as "standing on a mountain, sunset" and Generate.

Adjust the weight of the Element if the character strays too far from the original.

Enhance the Final Resolution

Use the Universal Upscaler to finalize the image at high resolution before delivery.

Select the preferred image, press the Upscale button, choose the appropriate scaling level (2x or 4x), and then download the image.

Save the Element set in a private library for reuse in future projects with the same character.
