(22/10/2026): v3.0 should be the final version for Anima. Next: MOSS Image (aka. The greatest anime model that has ever been released.). Here.
RDBT [Anima]
A general finetuned model, from a personal all-in-one dataset, mainly for digital art and drawings, focusing on lighting and textures, from wallpaper level digital art to 5-min sketch.
Dataset contains ~10k images, handpicked by professional amateur artists. The criteria for evaluation are not visual appeal, but the drawing technique and the level of completion. Captioned by LLM.
Some cover images look ridiculous; they're just for demonstration purposes for corner cases.
Update log and version info: link.
Useful links:
RDBT | Digital Art: My merged 16-step ckpt optimized for digital anime art. 4x faster. Easy to prompt.
RDBT | Original LoRA: LoRA files for advanced users.
16-step Acc LoRA: Style friendly, less AI slop, compared to the official Turbo.
RDBT | 160KE6 Furry: Based on 160kE6Anima by @garaggge. 160kE6Anima "was trained on around 160k images from e621". It has extended knowledge and 3k+ style tags. Check its model page above for more info (list of styles, etc.).
Settings:
Base version: CFG 4 and steps 24+. Euler.
Distilled version(8s, 16s, discontinued): CFG: 1. Steps: 8 or 16. Euler.
Prompt:
Always specify @style in prompt, or use a style LoRA. This model does NOT provide overfitted default style (ignore prompt and is always active). You need to specify style in prompt, or use a style LoRA. This is a feature, not a bug. The dataset is big enough and model is not overfitted. Otherwise, you will get random/mixed style.
Quality tags:
You don't need quality tags. The dataset has higher quality than "masterpiece". Thus quality tags don't have effects. Omitting those redundant tokens allows LLM to pay more attention on other words.
Sharing merges using this model is not allowed.
This mode is a free and it will always be free. This "restriction" won't affect anyone. It's only aimed at those who steal others' models to sell.
Known model thieves: NukeA.I (selling this model behind paywall on tensorart).
Because he is such a jerk I wrote a story about it. Also contains a guide for trainers about "how to bake special trigger word into your model".

ooo more steps approved model (0.32b) gota see that.
0.32 is pretty good at text (comparable success rate to v0.24 (maybe bit worse than it) = much better than v0.25 to 0.29) and can be mostly convinced to follow styles (get lost 3d flash-bang), also does compositions well (still has stroke at times, but its better/ as good as 0.24), just at times does not understand abstract things (for some reason very stubborn at not generating image that does not distinguish between floor and wall) but that minor issue :) +10
the latest version definitely feels like an improvement over previous versions. Styles work a lot better now, better prompt understanding, less 3D/generic slop bias, more dynamic poses and composition,backgrounds can get pretty detailed as well. I'd say it's a big win.
Boss, now that the 1.0 version is out, I'll leave here my request for you to do your magic in a version that doesn't degrade diversity (perfectly aware of what that implies for generation time/stability). IMO the ideal choices for your loras would be a stability focused distill, like the ones you've been cooking so far, for quick and pretty anime shots, and a diversity focused one, when you actually want it to be a suitable replacement for Illustrious.
I give up doing step distillation. It's too much for me.
Love 0.32.b
v0.32 is such a banger.
I'm dropping step distillation. 1) my cheap distillation really kills the quality. yes, 4-step works but the quality is sh*tty worse than extracted cosmos lora from a very very far away model. Then I changed it to 12-step distillation, looks better but the problem is still there.
2) seems anima official has their plan to do step distillation (aka, turbo, 4/8-step model). They have the money and recourse and full dataset. I don't.
3) if you need higher stability or speed, you can stack the extracted cosmos lora or the anima-turbo, basically can achieve the same thing, probably even better

but this model will still be guidance distilled. So you can still use cfg 1 and run the model 2x faster and get similar output. I consider it as a free improvement. It adds a little bit stability, enough to fix many small errors like hands, and won't noticeably affect diversity, and is cheap to train.
damn 😢️
also screw model thieves
Thank for still making one of my favorite models x) ! it's totaly understable at this point after seing what they said and the liscence fee and all that to let them do it.
