How to use it
- Upload your selfie to Flux 1.1 and set it as the img2img reference at 65% denoising strength.
- Paste the full prompt into the positive prompt field and add the suggested negative prompt.
- Set resolution to 768x1344 and run 30-40 inference steps for maximum detail.
- Upscale the best result with RealESRGAN Anime 4x to bring out rain droplets and fabric texture.
- Post with a moody one-line caption in Japanese or a lyric from an anime OST to match the aesthetic authenticity.
Pro tips
- In Flux 1.1, use the img2img workflow at 60-70% denoising strength with your selfie as the base to maintain facial likeness while heavily stylizing.
- The charcoal + burnt orange + blood red palette is critical — specify hex values (#1a1a1a, #c2440e, #8b0000) in tools that accept color references to lock it in.
- Add 'negative prompt: bright colors, cheerful, school setting, moe, chibi, pastel' to avoid Flux drifting toward lighter anime styles.
- Generate at 768x1344 native then upscale with a dedicated upscaler (RealESRGAN Anime 4x) for rooftop texture and rain droplet detail.
- The partial face obscured by hair adds mystique and also forgives any face-likeness imperfections, making this safer for non-selfie public posts.
