Smoother Anime Screencap (Art Style) PonyXL

V2.0 (EXPERIMENTAL, V1.0 IS STABLE):

The images were generated with different checkpoints. Upscalers & controlnet were used to enhance the details. Download the images if you want a sample of the workflow used (Comfyui). Don't use embeddings designed for SDXL1.0, they will ruin the images.

------------------------------------------------------

This is my first attempt at creating a style LORA. This LORA is intended to replicate a ‘smoother’ anime aesthetic, minimizing unnecessary complexities in the prompts and overall has smoother outlines compared to the already existing anime screencap style LORAs. READ THE DESCRIPTION!

TRIGGER WORD:

sm_an_stl, source_anime, anime screencap, anime, animification

Personal preferences for the settings:

Steps: 40

CFG: 5-8

sampler: Euler A

Lora strength: 0.7-1

Clip skip: 2 (ComfyUI users: -2)

Suggested prompts:

Positive prompt:

score_9,score_8_up,score_7_up, sm_an_stl, source_anime, anime screencap, anime, animification, (your prompt details), (perspective)

Negative prompt:

rough lines,mosaic ceonsoring, censored, text, paint, crayon, graphite, abstract, glitch, 3D, realistic, semi realistic, photorealistic

Feel free to experiment with the prompts!

Tips:

-> FOR NSFW: Always include "mosaic censoring" and "censored" in the negative prompt (if undesired)!

-> When using the LORA in combination with a character LORA, 0.7 strength seems to be the sweet spot.

-> Optional positive tags: shiny, shiny skin

-> Optional negative tags: motion blur, motion lines, blur, blurry background, faceless male

-> In some cases (e.g character appearance influence is too strong) it might be better to lower the LORA strength (for ComfyUI users, lower both strength model and strength clip).

-> "AutismMix" and "EDG on pony" seem to have the most stable results.

HUGE thanks to Hilucas for helping me out and facilitating the training.

I will be reading all the feedbacks and viewing the images uploaded to the gallery for future improvements.
