Hey y'all!
Use familiar SDXL prompting to generate a character and pose separately, then place and relight that posed character onto an input background, all while maintaining character consistency and style! All without a character lora!
Special thanks to tori29umai (on Twitter) for the charaBG and image2body loras, dx8152 (on Twitter and Hugging Face) for the Fusion lora and @DigitalPastel for SDXL workflows which portions of this one is based on.
I made this workflow because my previous workflow lost too much style after RePosing a character. Also my other Fusion workflow's compositing part was waaay too clunky.
Video Tutorial will be made eventually. This one needs it.

Usage:
Keyframes for video generation
Panels for comics
Material for training character loras
Memes! I dunno ~

Here's a map of the workflow and what each active part does.
Workflow Map:
Active Workflow Groups:
SDXL Pose - Generates a dynamic character pose from prompts (optional with input pose image)
SDXL Character - Generates an idle standing character from prompts (optional with input character image)
Qwen Character Sheet - Generates a 4-view character sheet from the SDXL character
Qwen Pose - Extracts the pose mannequin from SDXL Pose
Qwen RePose - Reposes character to the Qwen Pose using the Character Sheet
SDXL Refine - Refines with SDXL prompts and loras to reinject SDXL style (optional)
Compositing - Removes background and places character onto background image
Qwen Fusion - Relights and casts shadows for the character in the scene.
See example below:
Info Sheet:
Character Sheet:
All of these, except for the background image, are generated in this workflow.
All intermediate images, ARE NOT, outputted by default. You can output the intermediate images by checking 'preview_only' to false.
You can also fetch the most recent intermediate images from the cache folder.
Version 1.1
Added character and pose input images and switch. Allows you to skip either or both the SDXL pose and character groups.
Made the SDXL Refine group optional. You can run Qwen RePose then Qwen Fusion, skipping SDXL Refine.
Version 1.0;
Initial Release!
Takes prompts and a background image and generates a posed character onto that background image.
Future variants & planned workflows:
A variant with a pose input images, to aid generating the pose via Control Net.
A pose input image, use pose ref images to control poses for your generated character.(ADDED)
A character input image, use SDXL to generate poses for an existing character. (ADDED)
Versions of all those above, with the compositing group removed. Similar to Lazy RePose.
A separate bigger compositing workflow, for multiple character and prop placement.
NSFW versions!
This workflow is time-consuming to run, but once you've got a character going, you can pose that character in almost any way. The RePose part will fail if the pose is too complex. SDXL refine brings back a lot of the style that is lost in Qwen, but its also not perfect.
Regardless, I achieved 90% of what I wanted, and it will serve as a great base for future workflow variants.
Anyhow, enjoy the workflow. Please post if you have any questions or suggestions!
Stay Cheesy Y'all!~
