Anima

In my opinion, Anima is a model designed for drawing characters, which it does very well. Geometry and architecture aren’t its strong suits. However, this Lora creates an interesting effect in the background of images, so I decided to release it. For some 3rd party loras it may be used as a background enhancer. Consider Klein 9b and Krea 2 to be the main releases.

Krea 2

This release is specifically at the request of ElGordoAI.

Klein 9b

My personal favorite. The main release for this Lora model Klein 9b works absolutely wonderfully; it’s the only model that consistently renders English text and the expected geometry.

Visual Novel Backgrounds

A new LoRA specialized in generating visual novel style backgrounds.

This LoRA is designed exclusively for creating backgrounds (backdrops / sceneries) in classic visual novel aesthetic.

Key Trigger Words

VNsprite, visual novel style, background,

Recommended Settings

- Resolution: 1280×720, 1440×900

- Steps: 6-12 (good starting point)

- Sampler: res_multistep

Experimenting with different samplers and step counts can give varied and interesting results.

Style Description

The LoRA produces clean, atmospheric visual novel backgrounds with soft lighting, nice color harmony and a characteristic anime/VN look — perfect for school classrooms, serene nature scenes, forests, beaches, and everyday locations.

Quality & Usage Tips

- The better and more detailed your prompt — the better the result.

- If you struggle with writing prompts, I recommend using an LLM (like Grok or similar) and feeding it examples from the Showcase and Gallery.

Known limitations (Klein 9b):

Occasional issues with complex architecture, precise perspective, shadows and lighting in very complicated scenes. In such cases try different seeds or do minor fixes in Photoshop/Post-processing.

This LoRA works very well for img2img editing.

Example workflow:

Base generation:

VNsprite, visual novel style, background, classroom interior, [detailed description], bright midday sun high in the sky...

Edit (img2img):

Change to: VNsprite, visual novel style, background, [detailed description], night during heavy rain, dark stormy sky, heavy diagonal rain streaks, wet reflective surfaces, moody dramatic atmosphere...

If the model sometimes adds unwanted people/characters during editing — add no humans, no characters at the end of the prompt.

For maximum composition and geometry preservation, I recommend using this supporting LoRA together with this one.

You can also try combining it with character LoRA to create CG scenes, but results may be unpredictable with complex compositions.
