How to prompt WAI-Illustrious

WAI-Illustrious is an Illustrious-XL anime checkpoint trained on Danbooru-style tags. Comma-separated tags beat long sentences, and tags near the front of the prompt carry more weight.

  1. Skip the boilerplate quality tags. The tile already adds masterpiece, best quality to every prompt. Extra ones like amazing quality or absurdres are optional.
  2. Say who is in the frame. solo for one character. Then mature female or mature male so the model draws an adult. Booru count tags like 1boy are understood too.
  3. Then appearance: hair (long silver hair), eyes (green eyes), species or race (elf, vampire, demon horns), body and skin.
  4. Then outfit and props: ornate silver armor, black lace gown, holding wine glass.
  5. Then expression and pose: smirk, looking at viewer, sitting, arms up.
  6. Then the place: cathedral, beach, cyberpunk city, plus time of day and weather (night, rain, golden hour).
  7. Finish with camera and light: framing (cowboy shot, upper body, full body), angle (from below, from above) and light (cinematic lighting, backlighting, depth of field).

Questions

Can I use WAI-Illustrious online for free?

Yes. The Anime & Hentai tile runs WAI-Illustrious v17 for free: 10 images a day with no account, 50 a day with a free account. After 250 lifetime free renders the free allowance becomes 15 a day, unless you have bought credits. Free renders carry a small sirenrender.com watermark.

Which version of WAI-Illustrious does SirenRender run?

WAI-Illustrious SDXL v17.0 (the waiIllustriousSDXL_v170 checkpoint) on both anime tiles. The free tile adds a DMD2 4-step LoRA at 0.8 strength so a render takes about 7 seconds.

Do I need a GPU, ComfyUI or Forge?

No. Everything runs on our own GPUs. You type a prompt in the browser and get the image back; there is nothing to install or download.

What settings does the free tile use?

8 steps, CFG 1.0, Euler sampler with the SGM Uniform scheduler, 832×1216 portrait. Steps (4–12), CFG (1–2), sampler and scheduler can be changed in the Advanced panel.

Why does a negative prompt not change anything on the free tile?

At CFG 1.0 the negative conditioning has no effect, which is normal for DMD2-style fast sampling. Describe what you want to see instead of listing what you don't. The HD tile runs at CFG 5 with a built-in quality and safety negative.

Does WAI-Illustrious do NSFW here?

Yes, for fictional adults. SirenRender is an 18+ service: SFW art, pin-ups and explicit anime are all allowed, and anything that sexualises minors is blocked.

How do I get a watermark-free or bigger image?

Use the Anime & Hentai HD tile (1 credit): full 30-step WAI-Illustrious sampling plus a hi-res pass to 1248×1824, with no watermark. A free account starts with 2 credits. You can also remove the watermark from any single free render for 1 credit.

How long are my images kept?

Generated images are kept for about 24 hours, so download anything you want to keep.
