Info

This is an experimental anime style model that replaces each block with a different model (listed on the Hugging Face page). This was done majority at random. Issues are expected.

The Clip is left intact and not replaced at the end or throughout any merge parts.

In general, this version (a1) is a bit messy overall with some broken anatomy and other elements here and there. Though surprisingly this test model exceeded my expectations for something like this. The model styling can be very artistic and expressive. I noticed some unique elements and stylization I do enjoy when you get a solid image 👍

Recommended Use

Keeping things short and simple here - use typical parameters, check preview and gallery images for references, be aware of your prompt stylings and conflicts, and as always feel free to try out other things that you find work.

Adetailer can be good with this model at mid/long distances or even with general use when not over done. You may find the way this model does eyes appealing or not. I find them pretty unique at times, but can be washed out/blurred especially at distances.

vae-ft-mse-840000-ema-pruned is recommended - however, use any VAE you find reasonable. The aforementioned is baked into the pruned version variation of this model.

You might enjoy this model more without Negative TI or not, I used them both on and off.

Note: this version/model is not finetuned to maximum detail accuracy.

Disclaimer

This model(s) may output NSFW content unintentionally depending on parameters used. Make sure you tailor your prompts accordingly. For example "nsfw" in the negative prompt.

The use of this learning model is entirely at the discretion of the user, and they have the freedom to choose whether or not to create SFW or NSFW content. The decision of whether to engage with SFW or NSFW content lies with the user and their own personal preferences. The AI model(s) do not contain explicit visual content that can be accessed easily.

Example Images used

vae-ft-mse-840000-ema
4x-UltraSharp upscaler
hires fix (~0.25-0.31 denoising) w/ some upscaled again using SD upscale and/or minor edit
the use old karras scheduler signmas (0.1 to 10) compatibility setting
any LoRa use should be listed in the image metadata (if any)
bad_v2 negative embedding renamed should be the same as bad_prompt_version2
EasyNegative and badhandv4 negative embeddings were also used
Some preview images used adetailer (good for character faces at distances)

*Negative embeddings are optional
