This is a non-anime model that can handle illustrated styles in addition to photorealistic (trends to semirealistic by default).
Prompting guide
For Illustrated images
For Illustrated, cartoon, or comic/graphic novel style results, make sure "illustration" is in the positive prompt.
Recommended negative prompt for illustrated images:
3D digital, photo, blurred, grainy, low quality, artist name, signature, watermark, text, web addressYou can embellish an illustration with further styles, such as the specific artist names listed in the triggers for this model, or with a hybrid illustrated style using the keyword phrase "ligne claire illustration"
For Photorealistic images
Recommended negative prompt for realistic photographs:
3D digital illustration, blurred, grainy, low qualityArtist styles
Artist styles that this model was explicitly trained to on include Roy Krenkel, Jean-Pierre Gibrat, Milo Manara, Willy Vendersteen, Francois Schuiten, Edgar P Jacobs, Herge, Jacques Tardi, and Moebius.
To invoke a specific artist styles, simply add "by Artist Name" to the positive prompt, e.g., "illustration of a woman on a tropical beach, by Roy Krenkel"
Artist names can have a very strong impact; try them with weak weights, e.g. "(by Roy Krenkel:0.1)" or "(by Jean-Pierre Gibrat:0.1)" and see how a dash of their style influences the composition and color scheme.
Ligne claire
This model contains a general activation keyword phrase to evoke a certain hybrid comic book style and composition. This phrase is "ligne claire" meaning "clear line" after the Franco-Belgian comic book tradition.
For example: "A ligne claire illustration of a female science fiction bounty hunter."
Background/history
A funny thing happened when I was training my photorealistic Centerfold Blend. I found that when I incorporated illustrated images in the training data (properly tagged, of course) the model produced better photorealistic images.
Centerflex is an extension of an older version of Centerfold Blend, with a great deal more non-photographic training data. It is intended to be more flexible than Centerfold (hence the name Center+Flex), especially regarding illustrated styles. It was trained with a variety of artist styles in addition to high quality photographs of people.
Description
Adjusted for better hands, faces, anatomy, and lighting.

I was a little confused at first but reading the description I understand better now.
Can you add the trigger words like 'ligne claire' to this model entry?
It's useful for plugins that fetch meta data directly for A111 / browsers. Thanks!
Thank you for the recommendation; I've added a few! Although, to be clear, they're not necessary unless you're trying to evoke those styles. And putting "Illustration" in the negative prompt is a good way to get a photorealistic images.
@Invisidude It's super valuable.. This model seems to do really random stuff unless you nail down those trigger words.
Appreciate your effort.
@DreamExplorer Hmm, maybe I'll throw a prompting guide together. Let people know it's a Clip Skip 1, SD1.5-based photorealistic model that can do Western illustrations when prompted for it, not an anime/booru-tagged model. I see someone already tried mashing all the artist names together instead of invoking them individually 😅
