What is bad-artist?

bad-artist is a specialized textual-inversion embedding model designed for use in negative prompts with Stable Diffusion. It comes in two variants: the standard 'bad-artist' version which produces unique images, and 'bad-artist-anime' which is optimized for anime-style generations. The model was trained with 2 vectors per token for 15,000 steps at 500x500 resolution on an Anything-v3-based model.

Implementation Details

The embedding is specifically designed to work with the 'by' prefix in negative prompts, such as "sketch by bad-artist" or "painting by bad-artist". This implementation helps define what the model should avoid generating, resulting in higher quality outputs.

  • Uses only 2 tokens for efficient processing
  • Trained on Anything-v3 base model
  • Optimized for 500x500 resolution
  • Compatible with various Stable Diffusion workflows

Core Capabilities

  • Improves image quality through negative prompting
  • Offers two specialized versions for different art styles
  • Works effectively with minimal prompt engineering
  • Maintains high quality at various image resolutions

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes this model unique?

This model's strength lies in its ability to improve image generation through negative prompting, using just two tokens while offering both standard and anime-optimized versions.

Q: What are the recommended use cases?

The model is best used in negative prompts with the 'by' prefix, such as "sketch by bad-artist" or "photograph by bad-artist", to help guide the generation process away from undesired artistic styles.
