Ways of sitting
Does it tell one way of sitting from another?
Sitting is a combination of leg and torso angles with many possibilities. Named poses fix that combination, and they reproduce well.
Every cut below shares one seed, one base prompt and one sampler setting, and differs only by the tag marked in amber.
What each cut shows
sitting- The default: perched on a seat, with the seat itself invented to sit on.
seiza- The Japanese kneeling posture, insteps flat, back straight.
squatting- A full squat — soles down, knees deeply folded.
butterfly sitting- Cross-legged with the soles together — clearly distinct from the other three.
