Anima Notes

I'm finding Anima a real pain to work with. This is my first attempt to get it to do something, and it generally needs more than the character's triggers. If you just use aika, fina etc. then you'll get weird stuff. I'm not sure if it's under-trained, or what, or if Anima being a smaller model than even base SDXL is just less good despite the power that the natural language captioning can give in composition. Sometimes it gives Fina weird fishperson-like fin ears, I think it's confused by her veil (and a little bit of Cupil's grey skin).

You can try the Anima version, but yeah. It's a bit fussy. Hence 0.5 as a version.

General Model Notes for Illustrious

An all-in-one for Aika, Fina, Vyse (and Cupil) from Skies of Arcadia (aka Eternal Arcadia).

You may sometimes need to add yellow dress and white dress when combining Fina and Aika to help guide the correct clothing.

When making group shots, it often tries to insert extra characters in the background. I think that may be from some of the pictures that have small characters. Maybe I'll try to fix it in a future revision, but it's not too bad.

It should generally also get the characters with just their names, but you can always prompt any details that misbehave. Vyse's eyes are tricky at times, due to the eye patch.

Cupil is a bit hit-and-miss, because it's such a simple design. I'm fairly sure the model thinks it's closest to a Pokemon (maybe a Jigglypuff?).
