All five examples keep the character description and strict 2D cel-shading direction stable, then swap the pose, camera, environment, and primary effect. Give each image one dominant movement instead of changing every variable at once. This creates a clear difference while preserving a coherent series.
- Use hand foreshortening and a wide lens for close-range impact
- Align hair, sleeves, and fire into broad curves for festival motion
- Pair a warm unified sunset with a dark outfit for emotional contrast
- Separate cool moonlight from warm lanterns to build night depth
- Match the weapon and flame rotation for a finishing-move composition
- Keep face visibility, silhouette clarity, and foreground depth in every prompt
Frequently asked questions
QWill these prompts reproduce the exact same images?
No exact reproduction is guaranteed. They were reconstructed from the outputs rather than copied from retained internal prompts, and results vary by model, version, seed, settings, and aspect ratio. Use them as a starting point for a similar composition.
QHow can I keep Hu Tao consistent across new compositions?
Place stable traits—hair, eyes, hat, plum blossoms, outfit, sleeves, accessories, expression, and ghost—at the beginning. Add pose, environment, and lighting afterward so their influence is easier to isolate.
QShould every image use the complete negative prompt?
Treat it as a shared base and adjust it to the result. A scene without a weapon may not need deformed weapon, while a reaching-hand image should retain malformed hands and extra fingers. Removing irrelevant terms can improve control.
