About the hololive tag

hololive is a series tag that NovelAI Diffusion can use. On Danbooru it has 216,762 posts, and its best-rated still image scores 1,926. The samples above put the tag at the front of a fixed base prompt with seed 1234, so the differences between tags come from the tag alone.

How each model draws hololive

V5

Follows composition and expression instructions closely, so the effect shows in a tidy form.

How these samples were made

Every image uses 832×1216, seed 1234, 23 steps and the k_euler_ancestral sampler. The base prompt and negative prompt stay the same for every tag, and only the tag under test changes. Images flagged by the NSFW check are regenerated with a new seed or hidden.

Hololive (stylized as "hololive") is an all-female Virtual YouTuber group managed by hololive Production, which itself is owned and operated by Cover Corp

As of September 2023, the hololive group consists of 4 major branches: the original Japanese-speaking branch (unofficially referred to as Hololive Japan), the other Japanese-speaking branch hololive DEV_IS, hololive Indonesia, and hololive English. (There was also the now-disbanded hololive China.) Each branch is further divided into multiple generations, where each generation is a batch of VTubers who debuted at the same time. Hololive Production also manages the all-male counterpart group HOLOSTARS and the training project mekPark.

In February 2021, Cover announced hololive Alternative, a multimedia project including several manga and music videos that aims to tell in-universe stories using the hololive VTubers' character backstories. Later, in August 2021, Cover announced hololive Error, a horror-themed spin-off project. A year later, in June 2022, Cover announced Holoearth, a game featuring various hololive members. In March 2023, Cover announced Blue Journey, a new musical project.

FAQ

Does NovelAI recognize hololive?

Compare the samples on this page. Every tag on this site shares the same seed and base prompt, so any change you see comes from hololive.

How do I write hololive in a prompt?

Write "hololive" near the front of the prompt and separate it from other tags with commas.

Should I use V5 or V4.5?

V4.5 shows the tag's effect more strongly. V5 gives steadier images with fewer artifacts.
