Description
It's Update time !
This update of Amanesse Works comes for me as a surprised, i wasn't planning to work on it after the first version. The initial model was a fun experiment i was doing on the side, i decided to release after the praises from Takah0x.
Then i started working on this update after being (friendly) challenged by Chumple and now here we are... 😅!
Alright about the improvements, first off: Amanesse recognizes a lot more tags than before, it also reacts to a large variety of artist tags now. Then I tried to tweak and bump up the quality as much i could without turning it into a semi-real model, retaining the anime/manga default looks was the main focus, in my opinion as it's one part its identity. It is nonetheless, capable of doing better 2,5/2,8D than in the past!
Big thanks to Takah0x for his extensive tests of my prototypes and his honest feedbacks! Thank you to Chumple to have testing the last blend in various situations :) ! And also putting me in this position 😅
I hope you will enjoy this version! As always thank you for your support, feedbacks, tips, reviews, compliments... it means a lot :)
Special thanks to the anonymous bidder who puts my model up for sometimes now 🙃

@Gigglebit is that a demand or a warning?
Thanks and thank you for the tips!
Can't wait to see what you're gonna post (minus femboys😝)
@purplelady yes! Indeed
Your pictures are always so great and full of artistry. (●'◡'●)
Lol you make better picture than me, you're really outdoing yourself i don't even know which one to pin :)
v2.0 elevates Amanesse Works to a higher level. I noticed the slightly toned down preference for 3D-ism from v1.0 immediately and am happy for it! Nevertheless, Amanesse Works v2.0 is definitely capable for stunning 3D renders when prompted for it.
Next is the colour palette. I notice that saturation is also reduced slightly compared to v1.0, and personally, I prefer it this way.
Prompt adherence is also better, but I notice that "portrait photography" tag tends to put actual painting/photo frames in the output. This is not unique to Amanesse Works v2.0 though, I do see it in some newer Illustrious checkpoints as well.
All in all, this is a positively good update to the Amanesse Works series, and I for one highly appreciate the effort put into it!
P/S: Noticed the shoutout to me in the description! Thank you so much ❤️
Thank you for your feedbacks and your in depth description about changes with this new version. I really appreciate your efforts and your compliments :) !
An excellent model that deserves more use. Adheres to the prompt well, good with details, allows for nice tactile feeling of the images. Lovely!
Big thanks for your kind words, can't wait to see more of your pics :)
I’ve tried a lot of models on Civitai, but Amanesse Works really stands out. The first thing I noticed was how smooth and consistent the outputs are — it doesn’t take endless tweaking to get something that looks good. Even with simple prompts, the results come out sharp, detailed, and full of character. That’s a huge plus for someone like me who just wants to jump in and create without spending hours fine-tuning.
Another thing I love is the versatility. It works across different styles without losing quality, which makes it perfect for experimenting. Whether I’m going for something realistic or leaning into a more stylized vibe, the model adapts beautifully. It feels like it has a built-in sense of balance that keeps everything looking natural and appealing.
The ease of use is also worth mentioning. I didn’t have to fight with settings or worry about weird artifacts popping up. It just works, and that reliability makes the creative process way more fun. Honestly, it feels like the creators put a lot of thought into making this model accessible for everyday users, not just advanced pros.
On top of that, the community vibe around it is great — people are sharing amazing results, and it’s inspiring to see how flexible the model can be. It makes me want to keep experimenting and pushing my own ideas further.
Overall, I’d say this model is a must-try. It’s one of those rare finds that makes you feel like you’re getting professional-level results without needing professional-level effort. If you’re on the fence, just give it a shot — you’ll probably end up as impressed as I was.
Big thanks for your in-depth description in your review/comment, i feel honored that you took the time to mention every aspects and details that striked you😊! I'm also happy you find it to your liking, I can wait to see what you will produce with it🙃!
The checkpoint I used did fail in a complicated lighting situation. So I looked, and behold!, I discovered Amanesse 2.0. I'm still playing around, but I love it. Less light can be so much more!
Thank you for saying this, can't wait to behold some more of your future pics😊
It takes some time to tune and find my comfort zone in this checkpoint, and after that it can generate amazing images! Can produce images with accurate descriptions, and has good compability with multiple style Loras.
Thank you for your comment and spending time with my checkpoint, i really appreciate it 😊
The more I use this template, the more I'm surprised by its ability to understand prompts simply and subtly, and deliver excellent images. Its versatility and compatibility with various styles and loras make it one of the best Illustrative-based templates currently available. I hope people use it consistently and that its popularity grows so that its use in online generators becomes increasingly agile and readily available.
I really appreciate your kind words and your wishful thinking, thank you to keep posting in the gallery amazing work :)
Now that it's done · · · · · I've begun to see the reason why we are here.
Don't know about you, but i'm just here for the food😅
It's incredible!
Thank you 😊!
Don't hesitate to share your pics with us :)
One of the best!
Big thank you😊
Stable and easy to use, it can easily produce accurate images. However, setting long pants or long skirts still easily results in shorts or short skirts. Human anatomy is very well represented.
Thank you for the review and the feedback :)
One of the best checkpoints around!
Insanely well put together checkpoint, it is one of the few I consistently go back to when I want a guarantee of a good looking picture.
Thank you for your kind words, you sure make great stuff with it :D
Nice checkpoint, thank you! ^^
Amazing model, nice images! TY! ^^
Thank you, thank you :)
Very tasty.
After I am bored with my current checkpoint - I'll definitely jump on this one.
Thank you, can't wait to see your images :D
love it, stylish as
thank you, i really appreciate your praise😊
i think this might be my new go-to checkpoint, really wonderful stuff. beautiful faces, hands, and feet.
