## About

### What it is

MOSS-Image CharRef is a LoRA for the MOSS-Image Base model in ComfyUI. Feed it a single character image plus a text prompt, and it renders that same figure in a scene you describe, with matching face, hair, clothes and drawing style. You do not train a separate LoRA for each character.

### Who it suits

It suits artists, comic makers and tinkerers who work with anime or illustrated characters in ComfyUI and want the same character across many scenes.

| Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Comics and manga | Comic artists | Keep one character consistent across panels and whole pages | Drawing the same hero in a library and on a rooftop |
| Illustration | Digital artists | Place a reference character into new scenes by prompt | Changing the outfit through the prompt text |
| Game and app art | Indie developers | Make varied scenes of an original character | Generating a cast member in a kitchen scene |
| Hobby art | Hobbyists | Try character scenes without training anything | Testing a favorite design in several settings |

You can skip it if you work with photorealistic or 3D faces, since the card says those do not hold reliably.

### Where to use it

- ComfyUI version 0.42 or newer
- The Fumika app, which uses it as its reference picture option
- Windows, macOS or Linux with Python, to download the files

| Use case | Who | What they get back |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Single character image | Artists | A new scene that keeps the face, hair, outfit and style of the reference |
| Comic page | Comic makers | Pages built from a MOSS JSON layout with panels and speech bubbles |
| Outfit change | Illustrators | The same character in different clothing named in the prompt |

### How to set it up

You need ComfyUI, the MOSS-Image Base model and one extra node.

- ComfyUI 0.42 or newer
- The MOSS-Image Base model, which this LoRA builds on
- The ComfyUI-MOSS-Image-Ostris-Edit node, which supplies reference latents and the KV cache
- Python and huggingface\_hub to download the files

1. Update ComfyUI and install the ComfyUI-MOSS-Image-Ostris-Edit node.
2. Download this repository's files to your computer.
3. Put the LoRA file where ComfyUI looks for LoRA files.

```sh
pip install -U huggingface_hub
hf download 7err4/MOSS-Image-CharRef
```

### How to use it

Build the workflow in order. Patch the model with the KV cache on, then load this LoRA at strength 1.0. Encode your reference as image1 with a prompt. Sample with the card's settings of 50 steps and cfg 3. The prompt must start with the card's prefix, then the scene.

```text
Same character and art style as Picture 1.
```

| Tool | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| MOSSImageOstrisEditModelPatch | Patches the model with the KV cache turned on |
| LoraLoaderModelOnly | Loads this LoRA at strength 1.0 |
| TextEncodeMOSSImageOstrisEdit | Encodes your reference image and the prompt, and also the empty negative prompt |

### Example

You load a clean full-body picture of your character as image1 and write the prefix followed by "reading in a library, long black hair, red jacket". The result is a new image of that character in a library, keeping the look of the reference.

### For newcomers and experts

If you are new to this, a LoRA is a small add-on file that teaches an image model one skill. Here the skill is copying a character from a reference picture. A first small try is one clean reference and one short scene prompt.

For people who know the field, the card describes training with ai-toolkit in edit mode at rank 32 for 1000 steps on about 1330 reference and target pairs of anime art. Sampling uses euler with sgm\_uniform and skip layer guidance on a single layer, 22. The tradeoff is anime strength at the cost of photoreal faces.

Reference picture goes in as image1 → Prompt starts with the same-character prefix → Model patch and LoRA guide the sampler → A new scene of the character comes out

### Good to know

Appearance words in the prompt, such as hair style, eye colour and key outfit pieces, noticeably improve how closely the character matches.

- Limits: fine hair details can drift, and several characters in one scene only take the identity of the first reference reliably
- Limits: small text and hands stay weak as in MOSS-Image Base, and a reference taken from a comic panel brings its props along
- License: Apache 2.0
- Cost to run: none named
- Data it reaches: the reference pictures you load and the downloaded model files
- Not for: intimate images of a real person without consent, sexual depictions of minors, facial recognition databases, or deceptive manipulation
