Emerged from one artistic voice. Painted for many. With space to unfold. ♥

Drawn Visual Language → image to image

Illustrative Handwriting → prompt to prompt

Graphically Clear → longing for creative play

💌 NEW: Animij AI

Curious...

what Animij

might become?

...

I am.

Very much.

♥

Animij AI traces its lineage back to Anima base-v1.0 (by @circlestone_labs). Through merges and LoRAs by @reijlita, the model gradually evolved into Animij AI. Built upon the unpublished ReijLUSTRated development line, Animij AI intertwines selected elements from Illustrij~ma while preserving its Anima heritage. Animij AI marks a new beginning, a creative playground where my own visual handwriting, artistic sensibilities, creative expression, and original creations continue to shape a next generation of Animij.

Animij

Hey guys,

u asked abt it. 😊 Now I present to u: Animij ~ retro-modern soft cored. 4 different styles ~ moaarrrrrr possibilities?! 😋

For a long time I asked myself why merge an anime model ~ when there are a wealth of great models that serve this genre?

Ur voice is important to me, so I took the plunge. U know me, I like things different, and so Animij spawns as an anime style that may not suit everyone's taste ~ but maybe urs?

Animij is coming

• soft

• drawn

• vibrant

• retro touched

• with a touch of eroticism

• minimalistic, but detailed

• and full of emotions

Tasty for more? Feel free to play around ~ every version comes with her own playground ☺

✦ Version 10 —~ Core ID

💙 Animij is an ID model.

What does that mean?

💙Animij has character ;)

• clear subject separation
• soft isofocus / gentle background falloff

• light defines form
• soft-gloss skin highlights
• clean, controlled speculars

• color interaction (warm ↔ cool)
• background supports subjects

• playful / confident posing
• slight perspective presence

• restrained, accessible expressions
• calm / soft / slightly playful emotion

• clean edges + soft rendering balance
• semi-anime aesthetic

• lighting with behavior
• flexible character identity

💙 v10 was created from a feeling of gratitude.

So many heartwarming words touched me.

…they stayed.

This is how v10 emerged ☺

For this moment ~ I’m a little quieter in words

So I let the images speak.

I hope you enjoy.

Reij's Animij v10 Sweetspots

This is how I personally like to use Animij v10.

UniPC Karras

• 24–28 steps

• CFG 5.0–5.5

• 832 x 1216 / 832 x 1536

clean / balanced / soft finish

DPM++ 2S a Karras

• 24–28 steps

• CFG 5.0–5.3

• 832 x 1216 / 832 x 1536

more punch / stronger contrast / more energy

DPM++ 2M Karras

• 26–30 steps

• CFG 5.1–5.6

• 832 x 1216 / 832 x 1536

stable / clean / slightly sharper

Euler a

• 20–24 steps

• CFG 5.5–6.5

• 832 x 1216 / 832 x 1536

more playful / more variation

✦ Version 9

"Sparks Found in the Space Inbetween Shadows"

hey friends, ☺

i’m not a fan of comparisons, but what stands out with v9 is that it works both with various quality tags and negative prompts ~ and also without them.

Adetailer? optional.
in some showcase images i simply didn’t use it ^^

hires, i remain a fan of upscaling, just to give the model more room to unfold. but the model can be used without it.

steps? i prefer around 40, but 20 have their own charm too. entirely up to your taste ^^

for different hardware, whether onsite or local. i’ll only be able to test onsite later, so it was important to me to try the model locally first with smaller settings :)

sampler? feel free to experiment ~ currently i’m using Euler a and DPM++ 2M Karras.

✅ ladies? yes
✅ gentlemen? yes

✅ 🥵 nsfw? yes
✅ 🦊 furry? yes

i love it ♥
i hope you enjoy the new playground just as much :)

| ♥ | Quality Tags (option examples):
  | + | masterpiece, high_quality, highres

✦ Version 1.2

hey friends,
your feedback is important to me ☺

That's why there is now the first Animij update ^-^
v1.2 retains the style of v1, is a little more refined in the rendering and spawns with more options to use quality tags or leave them out to suit your taste ☺

I hope you have a lot of fun being creative

✦ Version 6

Like the previous versions of Animij, v6 is a separate model, not an update ☺

~ blending anime, semi-realistic, and comic-inspired elements.

⚠️

♥ settings:

🛠️ General settings I like to use: Euler a, 30+ steps, and a resolution around 832 × 1216. But of course ~ u’re warmly invited to be creative here too! 🌸✨

During merging, special care was taken so you don’t need any quality tags for great results ~ and u can even leave out the negative prompt if u like.

Just create the way u love 💖

Most importantly: I want to give both prompt pros and new creative AI minds the same freedom to explore – just prompt whatever comes to mind and let the magic happen 💖

I am happy if u enjoy and stay curious abt ur results ♥ best regards Reij

✦ Version 5

hey friends ☺

V5 spawns soft kissed by V1 ~ not back to the roots but with retro shine and velvety soft ~ comes with more freedom in the quality prompt design ~ more user-friendly for beginners and prompt professionals, whether realism or toon, V5 stays true to her style.

I am happy if u enjoy and stay curious abt ur results

Regarding the quality tags, u are cordially invited to let off steam creatively or to give more freedom ~ according to ur taste ☺

✦ Version 4

from minimalist to fine details ~ ur prompt, ur fantasy ~ remains anime-based even with realistic attention. Through self-determined prompting more play in style variations: from matt to bright, accentuated or rich in detail, there is always a touch of detail, whether as a classic 2D or with more depth.

I am happy if u enjoy and stay curious abt ur creations

✦ Version 3 ~ drawn symbiosis

v3 is the most drawn version so far. The focus is on the connection between AI and creative intuition ~ a quiet, painterly collaboration.

Born digital, but with the spirit of analogue: Every stroke appears as if it were drawn by hand ~ clear, accentuated, deliberately placed. It's not paper, but a canvas. Not a brush, but still a brush stroke.

v3 brings the “Drawn Touch” back to the fore ~ as a homage to drawing itself and as an expression of a new aesthetic: where AI does not replace, but accompanies.

✨ The Art of Animij ~ where details speak ✨

In Animij, details whisper of emotion ~ a stroke of storytelling. Eyes shimmer with depth, reflecting unspoken dreams. Light and shadow dance across soft gradients, giving each face a warmth that feels almost alive.

The magic lies in the small things: the delicate blush of a cheek, the glint of light on a ring, the way colors breathe with life. Nothing is static~ every detail wanna invite u: wanna come deeper? making each piece feel like a moment suspended between fantasy and reality.

✨ Wanna look closer? The story is in the details.
