    V1.22 update: thanks to Bokus for some of the preview images and the tests.

    Available on the following websites with GPU acceleration:

    It has been a while since I made a model. I've been making LoRA's non stop for the last month, but I felt like I needed something. A big problem with DreamShaper is that it wasn't much compatibles with the LoRA's I was making. So I wanted to create a model that was "artistic" like DreamShaper but also able to use my LoRA's and booru tags for generating images. Plus I wanted this to be able to make good anime stuff out of the box, without needing an additional LoRA.

    After a lot of tests and also fine tuning (plus LoRA merges) here is my newest model.

    It came out a bit more realistic then I wanted, but I won't complain.

    What is this model great at?

    • Generating cosplay images

    • Generating anime pictures

    • Work accurately with character LoRA

    • Generating good looking people

    • Generating realistic animals

    • Generating images using booru-like tags

    What is this model not too good at?

    • Generating pictures from complex sentences

    • Making fantasy/sci-fi paintings

    So this basically complements DreamShaper, and it also doesn't include Dreamlike in the mix.

    I hope you'll enjoy it!

    Some tips:

    • Use CLIP skip 2.

    • Select "auto" as vae if you're using the baked vae version.

    • Use highres fix or img2img to upscale the images after you get a preview. See the examples generation data for settings suggestions, I've tested various techniques.

    • If you're making images where the subject is far, remember you can inpaint eyes and faces selecting "only masked".

    • Stable Diffusion is great, have fun with it!

    Do you have any suggestions for the upscaler, how much to upscale an image to (upscale by, I think), and the denoising strength? Thanks.

    depends on the style. You can find upscaling info on the examples. Just copy the generation data. For photoreal and cgi I often use latent(nearest) at 0.6 denoise and 15-20 steps. If that comes up bad I redo with general ersgan at 0.5 denoise and 15 steps. For anime and drawings I use foolhardy at 0.4 denoise and 10 steps.

    Many lora have Asian eyes and appearance, especially on anime characters. We have to add lora with a European appearance.

    Use these words on negative prompt : Asian face, Japanese face, Chinese face, korean face. If you don't want any asian face

    @marspluto81685 No use, still Asian appearance in many lora. Two and 3 brackets don't give the right effect. I add euro lora and then I have to adjust the weight. Often these are either costumes or anime characters.

    @fansay anime character loras looking Asian doesn't surprise me. Anyway if the "dafault" face looks asian just prompt for different appearances like I did. CLIP has ethnicities, celebrities, facial features.
