Hey y'all!
Use familiar SDXL prompting to generate a character and pose separately, then place and relight that posed character onto an input background, all while maintaining character consistency and style! All without a character lora!
Special thanks to tori29umai (on Twitter) for the charaBG and image2body loras, dx8152 (on Twitter and Hugging Face) for the Fusion lora and @DigitalPastel for SDXL workflows which portions of this one is based on.
I made this workflow because my previous workflow lost too much style after RePosing a character. Also my other Fusion workflow's compositing part was waaay too clunky.
Video Tutorial will be made eventually. This one needs it.

Usage:
Keyframes for video generation
Panels for comics
Material for training character loras
Memes! I dunno ~

Download the models, which are all linked in the workflow.
Set the Cache Full File Path, otherwise it won't work!
Run the workflow ONE GROUP AT A TIME!
READ THE NOTES
Here's a map of the workflow and what each active part does.
Workflow Map:

Active Workflow Groups:
SDXL Pose - Generates a dynamic character pose from prompts (optional with input pose image)
SDXL Character - Generates an idle standing character from prompts (optional with input character image)
Qwen Character Sheet - Generates a 4-view character sheet from the SDXL character
Qwen Pose - Extracts the pose mannequin from SDXL Pose
Qwen RePose - Reposes character to the Qwen Pose using the Character Sheet
SDXL Refine - Refines with SDXL prompts and loras to reinject SDXL style (optional)
Compositing - Removes background and places character onto background image
Qwen Fusion - Relights and casts shadows for the character in the scene.
See example below:
Info Sheet:
Character Sheet:

All of these, except for the background image, are generated in this workflow.
All intermediate images, ARE NOT, outputted by default. You can output the intermediate images by checking 'preview_only' to false.
You can also fetch the most recent intermediate images from the cache folder.
Version 1.2
Added option and notes to load the Qwen Rapid All-in-One model, which can do NSFW stuff with the Qwen steps. Mostly works on the Qwen Fusion step.
Version 1.1
Added character and pose input images and switch. Allows you to skip either or both the SDXL pose and character groups.
Made the SDXL Refine group optional. You can run Qwen RePose then Qwen Fusion, skipping SDXL Refine.
Version 1.0;
Initial Release!
Takes prompts and a background image and generates a posed character onto that background image.
Future variants & planned workflows:
A variant with a pose input images, to aid generating the pose via Control Net.
A pose input image, use pose ref images to control poses for your generated character.(ADDED)
A character input image, use SDXL to generate poses for an existing character. (ADDED)
Versions of all those above, with the compositing group removed. Similar to Lazy RePose.
A separate bigger compositing workflow, for multiple character and prop placement.
NSFW versions!
This workflow is time-consuming to run, but once you've got a character going, you can pose that character in almost any way. The RePose part will fail if the pose is too complex. SDXL refine brings back a lot of the style that is lost in Qwen, but its also not perfect.
Regardless, I achieved 90% of what I wanted, and it will serve as a great base for future workflow variants.
Anyhow, enjoy the workflow. Please post if you have any questions or suggestions!
Stay Cheesy Y'all!~

PS. Please, if you see something that could be improved, please tell me! Much appreciated!
Description
Version v1.0. This is the initial release. The workflow takes your prompts, and generates a character and a pose, and reposes that character, then fuses that character image into a background image.

Can you make a workflow that accepts image to image? So say if I already have a character sheet or a character pose I want to use from an image to just apply to said character is there a way to do that or another workflow for this? If not can you make one for this use case?
I second this.. i already have my 2D characters, and would be amazing to generate character sheets with this workflow and be able to bring them into a more realistic world, like your first samples.. looking forward to your tutorial video.
I will, I wrote that in the future plans. I just need to figure out how, insert a switch system or something.
Actually, now that I think about it. I can probably just add two simple switches in the cache mechanism to allow you to use your own images for pose or characters. I will give it a try when I get the time.
Might be able to roll a lot more features into this workflow without increasing complexity much at all.
@slipperygem Awesome, looking forward to a V1.1 version then :)
yea this looks dope af. watching for when you get that I2I in there.
@artificialotaku I have added the function to accept either or both character and pose input images to version 1.1
@slipperygem amazing, thanks so much!
@artificialotaku Yup. Gonna try to see if I can easily make it NSFW now. The SDXL does NSFW no problem, but Qwen is very much against it.
@slipperygem Really? I mean, the regular qwen indeed is quite against NSFW, but I mostly use Phr00t's AIO model, and I can make NSFW no problem, I'm sure a lot of people use that model for the same reason as well.
@artificialotaku It's not as easy as you might think, especially with NSFW and I2I using Qwen. Throw in trying to add erotic poses with couples, not just single male or female NSFW stuff and Qwen soon gets very iffy. PHr00t has baked in LoRas to deal with some of those issues but they still don't solve the basic ones, mainly that Qwen, Flux.2 and Z-Image all have issues with spatial positioning. Trying to add in support with ControlNet is a further hurdle due to over-constraint issues which leads to latent collapse and black images.
@artificialotaku I mean, using Ph00t's AIO models is literally what I'm gonna do, but I'm booked indefinitely for a project now and I have much less free time than I used to.
Essentially, phr00ts AIO mode can gen all the naughty bits, but it does it in a not very sexy way. My hope is with SDXL on the front end making naughty poses, and then again on the back end refining the details, we can get good naughty results in the end.
Multi-person though will be a challenge.
@slipperygem Got it, don't overwork yourself, I think we all can play for a while with this wf, thanks again!
