CivitAI Link

Here are a few guidelines from the Animagine v3.1 Civit page.

Prompting for Anime Characters:
1girl/1boy, character name, from what series, everything else in any order.
 
Year Tags:    Use these tags to steer the style toward a more modern or vintage look.

newest                2021 - 2024
late 2018 - 2020
mid 2015 - 2017
early 2011 - 2014
oldest 2005 - 2010


NSFW Rating Tags:     Use these tags in the positive and/or negative prompts. For example, if you want to reduce the sexuality of an image, add “general” to the positive prompt and “sensitive” and “nsfw” to the negative prompt. *In Animagine v3, it was necessary to write “rating: general”, whereas in Animagine v3.1, that has been shortened to “general”

safe general
sensitive sensitive
NSFW questionable
Explicit explicit


For higher quality images, add “masterpiece, best quality, very aesthetic, absurdres" to your prompts. However, many highly rated images are NSFW. See NSFW Rating Tags above.

For best results set the Guidance Scale around 6.5.
