Kizuki - Alternative Checkpoint

I have set up a Discord-Server where we can share images / ideas / prompts and help each other out. Also, if you have a LoRA request, feel free to ask me there.

If you want to support my work or gain early access / exclusive loras feel free to check out my Patreon or Ko-Fi.

Kizuki Alternative

I know that there are already a lot of 2D Anime Checkpoints out there and that is why I hesitated to post another one before. But with SD 1.5 coming to an end, I felt like it kind of doesn't matter anymore if there is one more out there^^. So yeah... I hope some of you will enjoy using it and feedback is always appreciated.

Prompts to get started

Prompt: best quality, masterpiece

Negative: (worst quality: 1.4), (low quality: 1.4), wet clothes

* Adjust the strength and prompts to your liking, but keep in mind that the negative prompts are very important!

** Use (nsfw:value) positive/negative prompt as needed.

Settings to use

Most samplers work pretty well, so try out what works for you and pick your favorite.

Also test how the different upscalers affect the checkpoint, as they make quite a difference.

My "personal" basic settings:

Sampler: DPM++ SDE Karras

Steps: 24

Clipskip: 2

CFG Scale: 10

VAE: Included in Checkpoint

HiRes fix: Latent / 4x-AnimeSharp

HiRes Steps: 12

HiRes Denoise: 20-49

Upscale by 1x for prompt or seed testing and higher for final results.

Embeddings:

Sometimes they can help your results a lot, but they can also screw you over. So try adding or removing them from your prompts for different results.

Easy Negative

bad prompt

bad hands

bad artist

Loras:

Most of them should work out pretty well, but I would suggest to start with low values like 0.1/0.2 start increasing until you get the result you want.

Special thanks:

Unfortunately, I did not keep track of every resource author I used when I first started mixing and testing... Therefore, credit and huge thanks to all my fellow Civitai creators!
