If you want to support me, consider liking the model and tipping buzz!
Illustrious based merge with a 2D anime style base look. It has a more classical anime aesthetic to it compared to its PonyXL counterpart, and a softer look overall. Artist tags work.
Recommended settings :
Positive prompt : masterpiece, best quality
Negative prompt : worst quality, low quality, bad anatomy, watermark, censored
Sampler : Euler a
CFG Scale : 5-6
I highly recommend using the ADetailer extension for better faces and eyes.
VAE is baked in.
I've included the different models I used in the merge in the suggested resources, check them out!
