PROMPT GUIDE

Full-Body Standing Art, Turnaround and Character Sheet Prompts (Plus Expression Variants)

For standing character art (tachie), putting in full body, standing and simple background gives you an image where the whole body stays in frame and the background is easy to remove. For turnarounds and character sheets, the basic approach is to line the views up in one image with reference sheet and multiple views. For expression variants, fix the seed and change only the expression tags to keep the same face.

Standing art prompts (keeping the full body in frame)

Standing art comes down to three basics: full body, standing straight, and a plain background. If the head or feet get cut off, adding cropped to the negative prompt on top of full body helps everything fit in the frame.

Basic standing art tags

Tag	Meaning	Note
`full body`	Full body	Includes head to toe Details
`standing`	Standing	The basic pose for standing art Details
`simple background`	Plain background	Easy to remove the background Details
`white background`	White background	Best for cutting out Details
`straight-on`	Straight-on (from the front)	For a straight front-facing standing pose Details
`looking at viewer`	Looking at the viewer	For game standing sprites Details
`arms at sides`	Arms down at the sides	A pose that's easy to make variants of

Turnaround and character sheet prompts

reference sheet is the tag for a design reference sheet, and multiple views is the tag for the same character drawn from several directions. Listing straight-on (front), from side and from behind makes a front/side/back turnaround more likely.

Turnaround and sheet tags

Tag	Meaning	Note
`reference sheet`	Design reference sheet	The basis of a character sheet
`character sheet`	Character sheet	Same purpose as reference sheet
`multiple views`	Multiple views	Essential for turnarounds Details
`from side`	From the side	Adds a side view Details
`from behind`	From behind	Adds a back view Details
`expressions`	Various expressions	Lines up expressions on the sheet

Rinka's tips

For turnarounds, a landscape canvas (such as 1536x1024) makes it easier to fit three figures side by side
If the outfit changes between views, write the clothing tags near the front to strengthen them
It rarely lines up perfectly in one try. Generate several and pick the most consistent one

How do I make expression variants with the same face?

Make expression variants by keeping the prompt and seed fixed and swapping only the expression tags. Be careful: changing tags other than the expression will also change the hair and clothes.

Variant	Expression tags to swap in	Notes
Neutral	light smile	The base face
Smile	smile, open mouth	Opening the mouth makes it brighter
Embarrassed	blush, embarrassed	Shows embarrassment with blushing cheeks
Angry	angry, frown	Shows anger with the eyebrows and mouth
Sad	sad, tearing up	Fewer tears looks more natural
Surprised	surprised, open mouth, wide-eyed	Makes the eyes bigger

For even more consistency, change the expression with inpainting (redrawing only the face) so the clothes and hair don't change at all
Making variants with the same composition as the standing art (full body, standing) keeps them from shifting when layered in a game

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

The feet get cut off in my standing art.

Write full body and standing near the front, and add cropped to the negative prompt. A portrait canvas (such as 832x1216) also makes it easier to fit the whole body.

The front, side and back views in my turnaround don't match.

Add from side and from behind to reference sheet and multiple views. The quickest route is to use a landscape canvas, generate several, and pick the most consistent one.

The face changes in my expression variants.

Keep the seed and prompt fixed and swap only the expression tags. If it still changes, redraw just the face with inpainting so everything else stays as it is.
