How To Make Multiple Characters
This guide will teach you about all details, useful tools and tricks to create perfect couple images including suggested models, LoRAs and effective prompting.
General Tips | Prompting Tricks
● Use couple tag before your subjects and add hetero-yaoi-yuri depending on what type couple you want to generate.
● Using duo focus is effective at avoiding pov views and generating both subjects at same image.
● More characteristic term in prompt cause more randomized results, try to choose model that recognize your character or use LoRA for it and keep characteristics simple. Avoid to use many terms like black hair, green eyes, blue hair this type terms can effect both of subjects or wrong one without BREAK, but remind that BREAK is not 100% working technique.
● Use 2boys instead of 1boy, if you are going to make yaoi(gay) couple. | Use 2girls instead of 1girl, if you are going to make yuri(lesbian) couple.
● Use duplicate, bilateral symmetry in negative prompt to avoid similar characters.
Basic Examples
● Let's say i want to create Mario x Ahri couple, i must start write like this for my subject: couple, hetero, duo focus, 1girl, 1boy
● If i want to create Makima x Sakura couple: couple, yuri, duo focus, 2girls
Note: Prompting can show difference depending on model you use, this is only an example based on Danbooru tags and Model's general training.
Creating couple Images With SD1.5 Models
● Most of anime models has pretty small character memory because of their training.
● Generally models recognize characters from most popular Danbooru Character Tags and also some of quite popular characters such as Mario, certain league of legends characters, protagonist of popular games etc.
● For detailed and accurate couples, LoRAs become important part of generation.
● BREAK keyword is effective for keeping character's characteristics seperate and don't blend them.
Example SD1.5 Nami X Naruto
Positive Prompt
(masterpiece, best quality:1.2), highly detailed, (couple), hetero, (duo focus), 1girl, 1boy, holding hands, looking at another, beach scenery, bokeh, (depth of field:1.2), absurdres, highres, soft lighting, soft shadows, BREAK, 1girl, nami (one piece), NamiFinal, ginger, long hair, pale skin, busty, bikini, BREAK, 1boy, uzumaki naruto, blonde, short hair, shorts

badhandv4
Model AnythingElse
Explanation
As you can see i used BREAK
here and made 3 seperate prompt to avoid blending.
Part: General prompt, you must use both subjects here otherwise models will create single subject. I used
(couple), hetero, (duo focus), 1girl, 1boy
for subjects and add my additional prompts.Part: Name of first subject and details, i used
1girl
for first subject and add her characteristics and LoRA to make her look like Nami from One Piece.Part: Name of second subject and details, i used
1boy
for second subject and add his characteristics and LoRA to make him look like Uzumaki Naruto from Naruto.
Thoughts About SD1.5
You can create ship images with LoRAs and
BREAK
but i have to admit it, it's hard and not worthy.Most of SD1.5 Models towards to generate single subject and you can't even get 2 person in same image.
Prompt understanding is not that strong, even with
BREAK
there is a still chance to get mixed characteristics.BREAK
is not 100% working trick.There is high change to get bad and random compositions.
Creating Ship Images with SDXL Models
They have bigger character database compared to SD1.5 Models and creates more accurate characters.
Generally models recognize most of characters from Danbooru Characters Tags and many well-known characters from different genres such as movie, anime, game etc.
LoRAs are not necessary but might be useful at some creations.
Animagine XL is very great choice to make ship images, it's better than other SDXL based models and has larger character database.
Example SDXL Boa X Luffy
Positive Prompt
couple, duo focus, hetero, 1girl, 1boy, boa hancock hugging to Luffy, one piece, ship background, lovely, masterpiece, best quality, safe, SFW, very aesthetic, recent, absurdres, highres
