Please take a look at the following article for a full guide on how to use this workflow effectively:

Changelog:
v1.0 – initial release
Below you will find a quick overview, but I encourage you to take a look at the full guide.
So what makes this workflow special? It is specifically how your detailers work.
A common annoyance I have is if you are generating large batches of images with a generic prompt for your detailers, they will tend to “normalize” the area they are detailing. Example: An image of a character with an angry expression gets sent to a face detailer with “face, beautiful face,” it will slowly morph the face into a neutral of smiling expression with multiple passes.
To combat this problem, this workflow will feed your face and eye detailer prompts into your body prompt, and all three will feed into your base prompt. Here is a quick visualization of what is happening.
Essentially, you input your detailer text and wildcards on one central location. Eye detailer text will feed into your face detailer, your face detailer will feed into your body detailer. And all detailers will feed into your global prompt.
Here is an example base prompt. This is Anima, so you can use natural language in your prompt.
And now I input prompts for the detailers
You will notice I included emotions of the characters in the face detailer. This will get fed into the base prompt but also ensure that the face detailer knows about the expressions.
I also included the names of the characters in the eye detailer. This may seem odd at first but bear with me. I did this because the eye detailer is fed into both the face and body detailer. This ensures every detailer knows what character it is drawling, all the way down to their eyes. (Refer to the diagram at the top)
Note: At the bottom, there is a preview box so you can see what your prompt looks like when it gets sent for initial image generation. This is helpful when you are first starting to use this workflow.
IMG2IMG
Enable the IMG2IMG mode
Load an image and specify a Denoise level. The closer the Denoise is to 1, the more the image will change.
The image will follow the same detailer pipeline and logic as the TXT2IMG one. Detailer prompts will be sent to your initial image prompt, and face/eye detailers will be sent to your body prompt. The results are very consistent and give high prompt adherence.
For this image, I included things like “slit pupils, glowing eyes” in the eye detailer, “evil smile, mischievous, fangs” in the face detailer, and “large breasts” in the body detailer.
Outside of that, I just described the scene through natural language:
night, darkness, candlelight, shadows, moon, dim lighting,
succubus, devil wings, devil tail, horns, succubus outfit, revealing clothes,
Three adult women are sitting on a couch in a living room with a fireplace together. They all have different eye and hair colors. The girl in the center is taller than the other two and her mouth is closed. The two smaller girls are on either side of the taller girl. The two girls have their mouths open revealing fangs.
The denoise was set pretty high since I wanted the image to change quite a bit. You should generally start lower and work your way up (Around 0.5 or 0.6 perhaps)
It’s important to realize that Anima is not an “edit” model. You shouldn’t try to edit an image like Qwen edit. This is simply IMG2IMG.
Custom Nodes
You should be able to install everything that is needed through the ComfyUI manager. But just in case, I will leave a list of nodes:

Extra notes for Anima: Take a look at their Huggingface repo. They have plenty of guidance for using their model. https://huggingface.co/circlestone-labs/Anima
Also, If you want to increase the generation speed, feel free to disable detailers. Anima tends to produce better base images than SDXL, Pony, and Illustrious. There are many times where detailing an image is simply not needed. Perhaps try only leaving the Refine and SDSU Upscale steps enabled, with all other detailers disabled.
