Bara: NovelAI V4.5 artist tags by focus

These are the artists whose Danbooru posts are often tagged "bara". On Danbooru the tag is used for gay-oriented art of masculine, heavily built men. 150 of them have an artist tag that works in NovelAI V4.5. The "N% · number" badge on each card is the share of that artist's posts with the tag and the number of such posts.

How the list was built

The count uses Danbooru posts up to November 11, 2026, still images only. An artist is listed when at least 50 of their posts carry "bara" and those posts are 20% or more of all their posts. Prolific artists who draw many things tend to fall under the line, so a well-known name can be missing.

How to use these tags

An artist tag makes NovelAI generate in a style close to that artist's. An artist tag carries drawing style, not subject matter, so add the subject to your prompt as well. Click a tag name to copy it. Every image was generated with the same prompt and seed; only the artist tag changes.

FAQ

What does the percentage mean?
It is the share of the artist's posts on Danbooru that carry the "bara" tag. Danbooru only holds what its users uploaded, so the number does not describe the artist's whole body of work.

Why is an artist missing?
Artists with fewer than 50 "bara" posts, a share under 20%, or a tag not verified in NovelAI are not listed.

Are the images the artists' own works?
No. Every image is a sample generated by NovelAI Diffusion from the artist tag. This is an unofficial list with no connection to the artists.
