PROMPT GUIDE

Sitting Pose Prompts (Wariza, Hugging Knees, Cross-Legged, Yokozuwari, Seiza)

For sitting poses, add one tag for how she sits, not just sitting, and you'll get the pose you want. The W-sit (girl sitting) is wariza, sitting hugging the knees is hugging own legs, cross-legged is indian style, and side-sitting is yokozuwari. Writing where she sits (chair, floor, stairs, etc.) as well makes the leg shapes more stable.

Rinka's tips

For sitting images, from side or from above makes the leg shapes easier to read
Writing the sitting place (chair, floor, bench, stairs) stabilizes the body's direction and height
Use only one sitting pose tag. Using wariza and seiza together tangles the legs

What if the sitting pose doesn't work?

She ends up standing -> write sitting near the front and add standing to the negative prompt
Extra or twisted legs -> use only one sitting pose tag, and try cowboy shot instead of full body
The sitting place disappears -> add a place tag like chair or stairs and let it draw the background

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the prompt for W-sitting (girl sitting)?

wariza is the tag for W-sitting (the flat "girl sitting" pose). Writing it together with sitting and on floor stabilizes the pose of sitting on the floor.

How do I write sitting while hugging the knees in English?

Sitting with arms hugging the knees is hugging own legs. If she just has her knees up without hugging them, use knees up.

I asked for sitting but got a standing image.

Write sitting near the front and add where she sits (chair, floor, etc.). Adding standing to the negative prompt makes standing images less likely.
