[Guide] Helpful tags for image generation (SDXL/Pony) - SFW & NSFW

This article will be more of a note to myself but will also be helpful for people who are struggling to generate certain images.

I'm not professional in any ways so please take these as my personal experience/advice.
It will also help me if you can support my work by buying me a coffee ♡


TL;DR

  • Keep prompt (tokens/tags) short. Try to avoid duplicate/similar prompts.

  • Prompt should only include what you want to see from from your POV.

    • If the character is facing away, don't add eyes or mouth prompt. Don't try to force it by adding parentheses or adjusting strength. Just remove the prompt.

  • When you add details to the subject, it will focus on the subject by zooming in (close-up view).


Helpful tags I use (generating images with subject):

SFW (can be used for NSFW as well)

  • solo / solo focus: only one subject in image / focus on one subject

  • intricate details: gives small details

  • 4k / 8k / 16k: really depends on the model but it's useful when capturing wide angle view such as scenery. It also slightly helps when characters are slightly far from viewer (full body).

  • close-up: you usually want to add detailed tags to the place you want a close-up shot of (ex: close-up shot of open mouth would be [open mouth, uvula, throat]), but sometimes there aren't as much details you can put into and that's when I use them.

  • *subject or body part* focus: I usually use it with close-up tag but use it when I want to capture and focus specific parts but still captures others in the background (ex: when its overhead view of subjects head but also captures their chest and feet).

  • small face: usually gives smaller face of the subject by either shifting their body backwards or literally shrinking the face.

  • Positions: this tag is bit more complicated depending on what kind of pose you want the character to take.

    • lying on back / on stomach / on side. You can also add upside-down to have head focus.

    • standing / walking: it does what it states.

    • running: it runs! You can add motion lines or emphasis lines for action shots.

    • etc: there's too many position for me to cover ;;

  • Camera angles: (special thanks to NanashiAnon)
    This one is VERY important. It's also important to combine with "facing *direction*"

    • from top / below / side / behind: where do you want to place the camera? These are basic tags but you can add more detailed angles such as:

    • full body: captures the subject from head to toe

    • low angle view: shots from below

    • overhead view: great top-down view

    • dutch angle: Angled shot. Helps add movement to the image.

    • Partially capturing subject:

      • upper body / lower body: captures the subject's waist-ish and up / captures the subject's waist-ish and below

      • portrait: captures the subject's chest or armpit and above

      • cowboy shot: captures the subject's thigh and above

      • *body part* out of frame: specific body part will be excluded from the frame

        • head / hand(s) / foot / feet / etc...

  • *Clothing*: I'll go over this in another article since it is a bit complicated depending on the model


NSFW

  • mature / adult: it's an etiquette. Let's generate and experience pleasant NSFW images.

  • completely nude: butt naked!

  • *size* breasts: small / medium / large: Breast size correlates to character size so beware when using "small breasts". It should be fine as long as it has mature and adult tag in it but it really depends on the model. AI isn't perfect. Personally I like medium to semi large :)

  • pussy / clitoris / anus: really depends on model. NSFW model will auto generate it if other tags are stating that the person is flashing the area (ex: spread legs)

  • vaginal / anal: more important than "sex" tag. Make sure to add "penis" or other object tag.

  • pov: you are the one in action.

  • disembodied *body part*: one of my favorite tag. It sounds SUS but it's not. It gives flexibility to angles and positions without blocking views.

    • hands: "breast grab", "spread pussy", "leg grab"... whatever you want to grab.
      You can also grab me a cup of coffee!

    • tongue: usually I use it for licking body parts. Useful for "cunnilingus" as well

    • penis: another great tag for penetration from impossible angles. Quite useful for group sex as well.

  • motion lines: You'd want movement and action in your image.

    • bouncing *body parts*: breasts / ass / testicles

    • unaligned *body parts*: breasts / ass / testicles


I'll add more later but this is where I stop for now..

I apologize if my English is bad. My native language is Japanese :(

Thank you for reading all the way. If this article was helpful and would like to support me, please grab me some coffee ♡

Short history of my AI generation experience:

Before my computer broke down, I was generating about 200~300K images a month on SDXL as a hobby, using A1111. Started off using AI to generate D&D characters and maps, then to scenery, then to anime NSFW for my own benefits. My motherboard shorted on April 2024 and killed off most of my components. Now on my small, precious laptop ;-;
