    Hello folks - version 3.5 is something different - READ THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS

    What I have improved thanks to your feedback:

    • Hands quality, has been improved

    • You have now a much wider control on the camera, pushing the perspectives a lot further than any other model I've done.

    • Even more "Western"

    Unfortunately, through my testing phase, I've noticed that this model - that I've created and tuned with ComfyUI is not as good with Forge. Feel free to download my images, they are all carrying a very simple workflow for Comfy that you can use if you're not used to that UI.

    As always, follow the Quick Start instructions in the model description to have a reliable starting point for your generations.

    WHY AM I DOING CHARACTERS WITH A WHITE BACKGROUND?
    
    AI has a "limited attention" and by asking for a white background I force the AI to focus on the character design, I do this because I prefere to generate the backgrounds in different ways and then Photoshop the setting behind the characters for a better final output.
    

    If you like this model, consider bidding for it to keep it available for anyone to play on Civitai.

    Thank you to NMackelie to have sponsored this model!

    The version 3.0 is a collaborations with Bridgewalker who trained a LoRA specifically to fix issues in this model.

    Quick Start

    1_____Size: Around 1024 x 1344

    2_____Prompt: Start from the prompts present here and tune the keywords based on your needs:

    • Quick Prompt

      best quality, absurdres, dynamic pose, solo,
      (toon (style))
      
      or
      
      best quality, absurdres, dynamic pose, solo,
      (western comics (style))
    • Quick Negative Prompt

      sketch, lowres, low quality, worst quality, 3D, greyscale

    3_____CFG: 3.5 to 7.0 (low for realism, high for cartoons)

    4_____Sampler: Euler a / Karras

    5_____Steps: 25 to 50
    (Higher the Steps, between these two values, the better the results)

    Description

    And here we go again, after more than 300 iterations I've come to this new version.

    I have some BAD news:

    • this version has been fine-tuned on ComfyUI, which means that the results on Forge will be less optimized - basically worse than the 3.0 version.

    • this version is comparatively less reliable than the 3.0, if you want consistent results, you might want to try that previous version.

    Let's come to the GOOD news!

    • Version 3.5 really unlock the potential to use dramatic perspectives and move the camera a lot more than the previous versions. This sometime brings to some weirdness, but it's really worth it to play with the keyword "Perspective" now.

    • Cleaner lines than ever before and pretty good at doing hands!

    • Large variety of styles staying inside the "2D Western" aesthetic

    3.5 gives beautiful results in ComfyUI, just be sure not to turn down denoising far at all if you run a hi-res pass because it will turn it into a jaggy mess. Your model's great and it gives fantastic results, smooth and very polished. Great composition, truly.

    Thank you very much! Unfortunately there is not a good way to make the model behave in the same way on both Comfy and Forge - I might tune it for Forge but then ComfyUI users would have to calibrate their own Comfy to it which is... pretty painful for one single model. T_T

    Also @hushicho jaggy lines are usually responsability of upscalers or resizing the latent, I might suggest you to check that too! ^_^

    Have you considered training checkpoint for anima?

    I do, the only thing I'm not sure about is... is it too early to produce something for it?
    Anima is currently in preview mode and, to train something close to this quality I'd have to spend at least 5 months on it - if the "Official and complete" version of Anima will be published in the middle of it ... it would be pretty tragic, because I'd have to restart from the beginning.

    @Arthemy I am glad to hear it, will wait for it. I agree it's better to use resources and time smart

    I'm having trouble producing Toon outputs. toon and (toon (style)) don't seem to affect the final generation for me.

    Would you mind sharing a prompt? I think I can help you with that!
    Maybe just using "toon, deformed" might be what you need! :D

    Hey Arthemy, just wanted to say this is my favourite model. Very good prompting but the biggest strength for me is how well it works with inpainting. Thank you for making it! If I could request, I'd love a 3D style if possible.

    Right now I'm much more into developing new models for Anima, which is officially my new favorite model base! :D But you can expect a 3D style for it in the future.
