Animake v1 quick prompt guide

How to write prompts for anime illustrations with Animake v1.

Writing a prompt

English works best. You can use Danbooru tags, natural language, or combine both. Write tags in lowercase and use spaces instead of underscores.

Recommended order:

[quality/year/safety] [characters] [character name] [series] [artist] [general tags]

Artist names require the @ prefix, for example @artist name.

Example

year 2025, newest, safe, 1girl, solo, long purple hair, purple eyes, black coat,
snowy city, evening, looking at viewer. She is holding a paper lantern while snow falls around her.

For natural-language prompts, write at least two descriptive sentences. When using a known character, include their appearance, clothing, and action instead of relying only on the name.

Good to know

  • The model is intended for anime, illustrations, and drawn art rather than photorealism.
  • Use safe, sensitive, nsfw, or explicit to state the intended content rating explicitly.
  • You do not need to list every obvious tag, but very short prompts produce less predictable output.
  • The model can sometimes render individual words, but it is not suitable for long text.
