As an anime fan, I’ve always been fascinated by the dreamy, soft look of anime art. But, getting that perfect look with AI generators has been a challenge. Most generators either produce stiff characters or overly detailed outputs that lose the softness anime is known for.
That was until I discovered the combo of Niji Journey and Domoai. This powerful duo has been a game-changer for me, allowing me to create anime-style art that’s both polished and authentic.
The Structure Master: Niji Journey
Niji is incredible at providing clean outlines, solid poses, and composition that feels like it came straight from a manga panel. However, sometimes the details lack a certain je ne sais quoi – hair looks flat, lighting feels unfinished, and the overall image lacks the glow you see in real anime frames.
The Polisher: Domoai
That’s where Domoai comes in. By uploading the Niji output into Domoai and using either the cinematic or softlight restyle, I can add depth, lighting, and that gentle glow that makes the image feel alive. The difference is instant.
Putting it all Together
I’ve used this combo for various projects, from character-focused portraits to romance-style moments, and even simple idle poses. The best part? The results are consistently polished, with no need for complex prompting or hours of tweaking.
The Fun Part: Creating Fake Anime Posters and More
The coolest part of this workflow has been creating fake anime posters, custom wallpapers, and VTuber-style avatars. People often assume they’re official artworks because the quality is that consistent.
Give it a Try
If you’re into anime aesthetics and want to create something quick but polished, I’d recommend trying Niji for structure and Domoai for the final shine. It’s the closest I’ve come to making AI art that actually feels like it belongs in an anime.
Has anyone else been experimenting with anime-style stacks? What’s your go-to combo?
