# CitoRooN Wu-Hands | Wu-Tang hand sign (Illustrious)

**Throw up the W.** Add one word and your character makes the Wu-Tang hand sign at the viewer:

both hands spread into a W, thumbs together in the middle.

## How to use it

| | |

|---|---|

| Trigger | wuhands |

| Strength | 0.8–1.0 to start; the gallery runs at 1.2 |

| Framing | close-up or upper body, facing the viewer |

| Base | Illustrious; trained and tested on [CitoRooN Copper v1](https://civarchive.com/models/2975630) |

- **Just add wuhands.** You don't need to describe the hands, and describing them can fight

the LoRA.

- **Close-ups and upper-body shots** are where it's strongest. For a wider shot, stay near 0.8.

- **Prompts shaped like the gallery's work best:** who they are, hair, outfit, then

close-up, facing viewer, looking at viewer, then expression and background. In that shape

it landed the sign in all 32 of our gallery renders at 1.2.

- **No trigger, no sign.** With the LoRA loaded and the word left out, the full sign never

appeared in our tests (0 of 8).

### Settings we tested

Euler a · Beta · 40 steps · CFG 5 · 832×1216, on CitoRooN Copper v1. Other Illustrious

checkpoints should work, but we haven't tested them.

### Example: the cover image, at 1.2

masterpiece, best quality, amazing quality, solo, wuhands, kemonomimi woman, white wolf ears and wolf tail, light brown skin, adult woman in her 40s, platinum pixie cut, knit turtleneck sweater, close-up, facing viewer, looking at viewer, grinning, park in daylight

Negative: worst quality, low quality, blurry, jpeg artifacts, deformed, bad anatomy, bad hands, watermark, text, (oversaturated:1.3), (blush:1.2), nsfw, logo, lettering, text on clothing

## How it was made

No photos and no real hands. We drew the sign as an OpenPose skeleton, posed Copper characters

with an Illustrious OpenPose ControlNet, and rated every render on one question: is that the W,

with the thumbs together pointing up? Only the hits became training data: 105 images of anthro,

kemonomimi and human characters.

The first training run missed too often, so we rebuilt the set around the thumbs and trained

again. On test characters it had never seen, this version landed the sign in 4 to 7 of every 8

renders, depending on strength and framing.

## Known quirks (v1)

- **Wider shots land less often.** Misses fall back to hands meeting in a triangle or a prayer.

Frame closer, or try 0.8.

- **"Black cat ears" can paint a real black cat** between the hands. Name the ears another way,

or reroll.

- **v1 throws the sign at the viewer only.** Directions (at the sky, a TV, a window, another

character) are planned for v1.1.
