This is my attempt at making a good anime pastel model. I love the end result and I hope you enjoy it. This should also work great with most anime models.

I made 2 versions:

Hard has a stronger pastel style and gets a lot more creative.
Soft has a subtler pastel style and is much easier to control.

Consider supporting model creators of the models you like!

Suggested settings:

CLIP skip 2
I had ENSD: 31337 but it's optional

NO restore faces
Highres fix with either a general upscaler and low denoise or Latent with high denoise (see examples)
Be sure to use Auto as vae for baked vae versions and a good vae for the no vae ones. Avoid anythingv3 vae as it makes everything grey.
Steps and upscale denoise depend on your samplers and upscaler. See the examples.
